Robert Daglio – Bitter Blue (2018)

Jamendo

Bandcamp

• Mood music 
• Yacht pop 
• Fusion 
• Jazz rock 
• Swing 
• Jazz

Comment: it is a subsequent issue by an Italian artist, Roberto Daglio to appear on the blog. Daglio's music is always different, always the same. It is always sultry and serene and deliberately retrodelic yet synthesising new elements into a mix. The listener can feel himself like standing somewhere under the cloudless sky while the Sun standing at the zenith and above all. Yet it is a hyper-realistic experience because you are not exhausted by sweating on humid conditions. However, Wintherpole and Steel Drops are exceptions of the 8-track composition due to a heavy, even slamming guitar handling in the beginning of the tracks. Yet in the middle you can hear more meandering and immersive trajectories up there being played on an electric guitar. A third exception is Sometimes In The Rain (Swing Up) based on a classical jazz standard yet it chimes in a refreshing way. In other tracks you can enjoy pastel drawings on the electric guitar and electronic keyboards while being supported by propulsive bass lines. In a word, the result rocks in the way a righteous fusion album should sound. Yeah, it's playful, it's joyous, it's ennobling. And paradoxically it is not bitter at all.

Sturqen/VÄäristymä – Atonia (2018)

Nervu

• Experimental electronica 
• Avant-electronica 
• Electronic music 
• Post-industrial 
• Abstract 
• Glitchtronica 
• Minimal techno

Comment: this is a split release by a couple of projects both of them consisting of the pair of experienced musicians. Indeed, Sturqen's music seems to be more abstract and algorithm driven and VÄäristymä`s 5-notch is more loose and floating coming at times quite close to a sophisticated art pop/indie electronic number. In comparison to Sturqen's part it is not surprising at all because VÄäristymä's compositions are shorter while Sturqen's tenure is clearly conceptual because of consisting of two 15-minute long tracks (Metrologia part 1, and part 2). It explores the colours, reverberations and shades of electronic music within its concept. Yet it does not mean that this couple of tracks used to chime a bit devoid of events while being restrained within the conceptual borders. One can perceive the broad borders surrounding the music. For sure, one can hear influences of the two most praised underground electronic duos of the 90s, Autechre, and Pan Sonic. But not only – it is like an electronic release spawned by a composer having an academic background especially regarding those kind of cassette compilations released by German composers during the 80s and 90s. On the other hand, VÄäristymä's music also involves glitched-out and recycled noises at the fringe so it is a release of providing a joint part between artists additionally to idiosyncratic appearances. The joint release is a part of the discography of Nervu.

System Morgue – Froid (2017)

Frozen Light

Bandcamp

• Ambient rock 
• Shoegaze 
• Alternative 
• Avant-rock 
• Ethereal wave 
• Darkwave 
• Epic

Comment: the simplest way to assure the title "Froid" does mean the music represented over the course of a handful of tracks. Of course, it does mean it does have much in common with the rest albums of the Sankt Peterburg, Russian one-man-project. Indeed, the listener should find out distinctive details and facets which used to differ from the other albums by System Morgue and thereafter you will have the base ultimately to shout out the substance being hidden behind the title. In fact, it would be way too different approach and way too pedantic and suffocating for enjoying music. The artist describes it as winter album having been recorded during winter months. The winter is the season for heroes. Between those meandering guitar layers with more or less hirsute accents you can enjoy deep yearning and broad dreams as if a way to conjure up something blissful and ennobling with quite simple solutions. It is shoegaze but it is not a My Bloody Valentine, it is darkwave but it is not a Lycia, it is ethereal wave but it is not a Cocteau Twins. All of that represented over there is System Morgue, one of the most perspective artists at the moment worldwide. At times, it is a pure power demonstration, at times it is a monument for pure feelings, at times those may be mixed up with one another. However, the whole ego of mine is subjugated to it. It is an avalanche in disparate meanings. The outing is a part of the discography of an imprint called Frozen Light.
