Interview


Thomas Wiedemann - Thomas Wiedemann
'when all genres already smelt odd, minor started to track and support the worst of all: electronic underground minor logo music, and called it "noiz" to avoid discussions. tracker music was never regarded as cheap or louzy, it was style, it was a sub-culture.'

Reviews


Access To Arasaka - Oppidan
Created using traditional keyboards recorded to computer, "Oppidan" takes mellow tones and textures, adds ultra precise beats, glitchy splutters and other subtle but strange computerised sounds to produce something that could be described as Autechre's calmer little brother.

Lingouf - Ange et Gruikk
What is most remarkable, though, is that there is a coherent, thematic link that one can't quite put my finger on through the whole CD. Perhaps the playful nature, of the willingness to experiment, of the surreality of the whole thing. This isn't breakcore, or industrial, or any other pigeonhole you want to chuck it in. This is the sound of an astoundingly talented electronic music composer, taking reference points from wherever he damned well feels, and making a striking album from the pieces that result.

Alphanaut - Jennifer
This EP features Alphanaut's "Her Eleven Eyes" and various versions of "Jennifer". The overall sound of the EP is what could be categorized as 'alternative ambient'.

Brim Liski - Brim Liski
Brim Liski's self-titled debut might be brief, but it is brimming with gigantic sound. Perhaps most readily described as electronic post-rock with a sizeable dose of synthpop, the release easily falls in with peers from shoegaze to nu-gaze and everything neo-psychedelic in between. The music is searing, but sweet, despondent in its flowing, shimmering painkiller dreaminess.

Undermathic - Return To Childhood
In all though "Return to Childhood" doesn't quite find an easy flow. It feels disjointed, as there really are moments of genius but they seem to be sandwiched between big, crashing, walls of heavy industrial sounds and whilst some people will appreciate that, it didn't do much for me.
