Comment: Ryonkt is a Sapporo, Japan-based Ryo Nakata born in 1984. He is being known due to his tenures to such imprints as Audiotalaia, Resting Bell, Dog Eared Records, Hibernate, Noise-Joy, Smallfish, Experimedia and some other ones. I have recently listened to some shows having spot on contemporaneous alternative pop/rock/indie/electronic music but I have to admit most of it chimes like listening to infantile poppy nonsense because it is so dull, sterile, predictable and hollow. By employing technological richness without spawned with poignant ideas. Ryonkt`s Sea sounds like a weirdly flourishing symphony, serious music if to juxtapose it with aforementioned ones. The one and only genuine stuff comes mostly through Bandcamp, web-labels, and underground labels today. Nuff said, however. I am not wondering anymore why the sales under the gigantic imprints drop down and at Bandcamp it will be rising up. These 928 seconds are indeed a contemporary counterpart of symphonic music through those descending and epically ascending droning oscillations which at times become freezing at one point like a refined reflection of still life. Doubly refined. In classical sense, it is tuneless yet there are somehow magnetising elements or inner synergy between sonic particles of the drone to conjure up a similarly overcoming and uplifting feeling. The mesmerising issue is a part of the discography of Noise-Joy.

Comment: this release is twofold consisting of compositions both longer than 22 minutes. Behind the issue is the Israeli/Jewish Joseph Copolovich whose sound is built upon smithereens-alike noises, intermittent concrete sounds, tectonic bass rumbling and much more I am not able to describe it for though. I am tempted to find out a possible location for this release but I am not allowed to do it. Undoubtedly it is crushing and crashing as if the aforementioned elements were put into some kind of virtual washing machine and then all the produced audible debris taken out from within it and put gravitating toward comprehensible centres (read: human beings). Of course, one can imagine an even more funny-tragic mixed event when some amateurish kabbalist were demolished under the curse because of his/her falsely chosen words. Getting knocked down by the Golem. The question is whether is the music positively or negatively appreciated? For me, it is quite neutral by listening experience because of being the abstract strip yet by historical importance it is a positive cut. We know a little about Israeli noiseniks except Dror Feiler who though has been living in Sweden for a while. The release was initially released in 1989 and now it is picked up by Don Campau`s The Living Archive of Underground Music.

• Deep techno 
• Electro-acoustic

Comment: these 8 tracks clocking in at a 46 minute are set up to provide an example of techno music at the artist`s own disposal. The main instrument is a thick bass line which is arranged in different forms and through different frequencies. It reminds of the era when Kraftwerk intended to shift from guitars, a flute, an organ and the drums mixed experimental rock format into an overtly synthetic apparition (by denoting such outings as Ralf und Florian (1973), and Autobahn (1974)). Undoubtedly Gozne`s motorik impresses me because if you have grown up or at a time rejected other styles by listening to Faust, Neu!, and early Kraftwerk this profound motorik trace is put deeply into your perception. It is not only hypnotic, it is transcendental because it is seminal all the time - in other words - it is ahead of its time. It is proud, it is reluctant, it is self-confident because its value is distinctly delineated in the history of pop music. And as you can see by the recent case the influence continues to grow further. Of course, while talking about and trying to understand the contemporaneous filter should be added in between to get a proper comprehension. At Fin del Tiempo the listener can hear different variations of it – stubborn techno pop at EL FIN (Ez. 7.2); TIERRA NUEVA (Ap. 21.1) is the most disorienting composition within it due to those squeaking-squealing concrete sounds as if coming outside your headphones, from the street or as if someone is ringing the doorbell of your apartment. So I took away the headphones to make difference… . Secondly, it is an exuberant, undulatory ambient track and because of it being distinctive from the rest. In truth, the opening track EL HADES (Ap. 20.14) is quite similar thanks to those high-pitched yet lone electronic chords atop space-y droning. By its form it is rather an example of electro-acoustic music. This impressive brace of tracks is a part of the discography of Pueblo Nuevo. Both of them are the Chilean ones.

Muhr – Nod Your Head Don't (2014)

Bandcamp

• Mash-up

• Rap 
• Electronic music 
• Remixes

Comment: it is quite surprising to find Vincent Fugère is such position to introduce his new beginning. It is miles away from previous doings, far away from exquisite electronic music, vivid post-rock, and hazily borderline modern classical music. Yeah, this mixtape based on 35 minutes consists of hip-hop beats, rap rhymes, thick bass lines, abrasive sonic progressions and sprawling electronic spaces. Propulsive moments are variegated with more laid-back, even dreamy glimpses and thereof creating a dynamic feel of deliverance throughout the course. Additionally to his own oeuvre he employs other artists` music like Jay Z, Arvo Pärt, Millimetrik, GY!BE, Dinah Washington, Julie London, and Max Richter. In these cases the Montrèal-based artist edits or remixes them. All in all, it is a creditable introduction toward a new future.
