Comment: The Peach Tree is the solo project of Angus Maiden whose is being known as a Melbourne, Australian maverick in sonic creation. An indie man with more heavy leanings in aesthetic preferences. Throughout the course of 12 tracks the listener can perceive this stylistically wobbling enterprise based mostly on the industrial rock template. In a word, boxy guitars and set-up machine rhythms are intertwined with electronic layers and loaded boats of electrified energy. Yet his grip is remarkably broader due to dodges into murky dungeon synthesiser realm and fragmented and convulsive world music (a fascinating composition called Ganesh) and also riff-based hard rock at Blind. Furthermore, On A River is a profound insight into a beatific moment while spending your time being far away from the civilization and being affected by the natural elements as one's genuine brothers only. Place Of Out is a drift between the aforementioned dungeon industrial progressions and muffled storytelling. Just an acoustic guitar and one phrase singing are up there as a way to partake in meditation being backed up by an atmospheric synthesised layer. In a word, it is a solid glimpse into Angus Maiden's versatile world. It will take you by surprise even if you are listening to it a third or fourth time in a row. It unveils many sonic surprises followed by other ones and ultimately you can perceive the fine balance between the technical and moody side. That's all what we need from a decent music outing.

Comment: this swarm of 10 tracks cannot be considered a triumph of unconsciousness only, it is a triumph of music, it is a triumph of voluptuous listening sensations. While listening to it I watched a football match from the TV on mute and the play seemed to be even more attractive. It seemed to be consisting of dynamics while being framed by the nature of still life. That's cool. It chimes partly like the upload of a Moon Safari yet it is a different case eventually due to conveying cosmic electro impulses to the listener`s head. It is an example of very up-to-date pop music which is not going to age in the future. The ending track Word is a decent bow toward Tricky and his Pre-Millenium Tension (1996). Undoubtedly it has been one of the most enchanting issues in 2017 so far and beyond that not being the first entrance by an excellent imprint, blocSonic being added to the list. Viktor Van River is the one-man-project of Viktor Chuprin from Kazakhstan (by the way, it is an immensely better way spending your time rather than watching loathing Borat).

Zelde 743 – Dark Intense EP (2017)

Illogical Kit

• Acid techno 
• Dubtronica 
• Acid house 
• Electronic music 
• Alternative dance 
• Psychedelic 
• Post-rave

Comment: I insistently recommend listen to this 3-track outing because it is so fluffy and deep at the same time. Indeed, approximately 20 years ago the last named adjective was employed to describe deep house, and deep techno, for instance. With regard to the term “techno” the set is strongly imbued with acid techno and house influences having been popular in the UK approximately 25-30 years ago. Let`s call it post-rave music. The warehouses are demolished but the memories of them are still up there though slightly blurred and thereof mixed up with other genres either (for instance, the dub influence is also represented over there). The beat is straightforward and loud and psychedelic as if setting out the plan to re-create a new dance revolution. In a nutshell, it is a fairly pleasant listening time being commissioned by Illogical Kit Netlabel. Zelde 743 is a duo from Poland who already started off in the eighties.

Comment: when the UK-based artist Hanetration sent me the link of this outing at Bandcamp he said he would hope this album would get enough attention due to its special nature. In fact, all the previous Hanetration`s issues are being idiosyncratic ones with highly leftfield and experimental edges. Yet this handful of tracks may be considered a universe within a universe because I cannot remember for Hanetration would have been chimed in that spaced-out way. I reminds me a little bit of the end of the 90s and the beginning of the 00s in my domestic Estonia while listening to such artists as Uni (“dream” in English), Galaktlan, Von Suck the artists whose oeuvre would like to tag as ulmetronica. “Ulme” does mean “science fiction” in the narrow sense of this word. In the broader sense it is the opposite word to “olme”. It does mean something very usual something that you are doing and you have to do in your everyday`s life. In a more indirect sense, having deal with such sort of sound it is a way to escape, to go elsewhere, it is a sort of transcendental experience. In fact, Hanetration is very kind to provide such sort of sound. In a gross sense, it is a subtle mix of space music, ambient and techno. In a sublime sense, it excels at these borders to create something beatific and otherworldly. It might be that a die-hard fan could find this release to be somehow a compromise but by my opinion it is a new substance of sound in his discography. Indeed, it can be considered majestic but it is not a play of shallow, flat postures; you can perceive something majestically noisy coming out from this magic pot. I am sure it is the most pre-eminent issue by Hanetration at least at emotional level. One of the best issues in 2017.
