SOMATIC RESPONSES: Neon CD Hymen |

Thursday, 25 February 2010 |
 Somatics return with some elements that remind me of their upbringings in techno circles in the lightest sense of the word with blippy, happy electronics flitting around and carried along with drifting ambience and warm sponge like rhythms and quite fitting sound wise with the opener ‘Another Rainy Day’; bizarrely enough I can almost see the raindrops bashing off the windshield from the warm comfort of the inside of a moving vehicle. |

 Second full length release full of soaring atmospheres that carry a certain anxiety within their rafters; like some evolving nightmare that carries desperation and horror alongside its crunching squelching rhythmical structures.
Seamless in its approach one track happily (?!) folds into the next and in that context works like a rather well oiled machine; and a machine this most definitely is, whirring and buzzing whilst the cogs turn and the hammers pound, this is an ‘Industrial’ album in the purist sense of the word for me. |

 This much talked about Netherlands project releases his debut on the highly rated Tympanik label, and quite an interesting album this is too. Structured much in the way a classical opera would be if conjoined with IDM flirting with the works of Hans Zimmer, this release has the sense of the arcane richly sewn within its make up; therefore feeding my penchant for piano and beats alongside atmospherics. |

 Daniel Myer needs no real introduction in the electronic scene with amongst his tally, Haujobb and the factor he now dabbles with Covenant to name a couple.
Architect has come along in leaps and bounds and this latest offering could arguably be his best piece of work under this moniker to date. |

 Both of these acts have made a name for themselves within the scene for producing some pretty impressive club wrecking no-holds-barred industrial and this split CD pretty much hammers that truth home with a vengeance.
Comprising of ten tracks, six of which are Xotox and Detune-X passing the mantle to and fro to each other there are two tracks remixed from each artist and two full collaborative tracks to feast on. |

 Pure party time again for 100Blumen, time to let your hair down and go all out on the beat-first questions later approach we are all used to, but with a few interesting other avenues to mull on along the way.
A more sublime, quiet intro as an opener leads to ‘The Unrest’ which goes straight for the jugular and will surely set some dance floors alight when in the live arena. |

 Looking through the press release before hitting ‘play’ the band names ‘Interpol’ and ‘Portishead’ were loosely used as a comparison for some of this acts work; being a fan of both I was more than intrigued; unfortunately this led to a let down. There is an element of what is playfully termed as ‘intelligent pop’ within the realms of this album, and musically in a lot of respects this has been utilised pretty well; there is however one major downside to the whole of this release, namely the vocals; without a doubt one of the most feeble attempts at singing I have heard in a while. |

 Another highly anticipated release for me; I am always eager to hear anything from the collective as it feeds my penchant for all things ambient.
‘Solitaire’ seems to be based around a collection of memories from years past; thinking of the place you once lived and the emotions that swell up from those small rifts in time that heighten your senses such as fragrances and sounds that trigger all those elements that make life what it is. |

 Has it really been so long since Imminent (Starvation)‘s last full-length release ‘Nord’? However long then it certainly seems well worth the wait as this reeks of excellence from the word go.
Opener ‘Seracs’ harks an immense return with cut and paste glitches that build into a monster of suspense and driving beats and bass that carry subtle chopped up vocals into an impressive array of driven electronics.
Ghost like operatic vocals are catapulted along with ‘Gari’ and its insane mash up of plastic beats that trip over each other and never totally lose sight of themselves; this in turn ios followed by the outright lunacy of ‘Bock’ which folds smashing rhythm sections into industrial madness and an undercurrent of dare I say it, Gabba; of course I do use this terminology loosely as to be frank, its fucking mental no matter what genres fly out at you. |

POORDREAM: Immaterial Monarch CD Spectraliquid |

Monday, 21 September 2009 |
 An interesting debut CD extended player compromising of two original tracks and remixes displaying Spectraliquid’s abilities of finding us new artists to listen to. Gentle electronics mixed with airy synth and tripping light drum patterns, subtle vocal elements and a charming warmth make up the opening title track, giving way to something of a small soundtrack the way the vocal samples lightly infuse the music; this in turn leads to Poordream’s own remix of the track that takes an altogether more different dance approach as not to lead to monotony, following suit with yet another mix that is as different as it comes and is entirely commercial distancing itself from the original entirely. |
