Hi All,
After a long delay I decided to continue to provide you with small IMHOs on
new (for me) music coming into my mailbox.
Pole "1" (Matador)
Great beginning of the fabulous serie. More melodic and colorful than #2 and
less minimalistic. For those who have not heard him - do so, you will not
regret it. His music has certain magic trancy feel built upon gorgeous
melodies based on the environment field of clicks and blips.
8/10

V/A "Lily of the Valley" (Schematic)
Finally I was able to get my hands and ears to the follow up to critically
acclaimed "Ishemic Folks". Must admit all those who told that this album is
more acceptable and melodic were correct. Beautiful long track by Richard
Devine, lots of Phoenecia tracks under different names and gorgeous Delarosa
& Asora mini journeys into idm wonderland. Excellent.
8.5/10

V/A "Kid 606 & friends"
Noise idm. Great for noise fans, idm fans be cautious. Execellent mix of
experiments on kid606 materials from such profies of electronic manipulation
as Matmos, Solvent, Marumari, Hrvatski, Lexaunculpt, Cex, Jake Mandell and
others.
6/10

Mouse on Mars - Diskdusk EP (Too Pure)
8) Any MoM fans must buy. Very short - 15 mins. Addition to Niun Niggung LP.
Four tracks - three exclusive.
8/10

Arovane - Tides
Mellow acoustic electronic relaxation. Deeply evolving melodies combined
into excellent tender electronic album. Differs from "Atol Scrap" though has
similar Arovane feel.
8/10
________________
Biosphere - Cirque
Another step for Geir and cause for happiness among his fans. Anyone
following his evolution should buy this one. Kinda short (40 mins) but very
hearty and soulful idm ambient from Norway (be sure you have your warm
clothes on when you listen...)
8/10

Amon Tobin "Supermodified" (Ninja Tune)
Fans - Must buy. Another step from old style following the Permutation
scketches. Great mix of dark hip-hop, idm and brand Ninja style.
9/10

Funkstorung "Post Art" (Chocolate Industries)
The CD reissue of previously vinyl only EP. F-ung fans unite to buy it!
Great! Excellent! Too short.... Ae offsprings at their best.
9.5/10

Coil "Music to Play in the Dark Room... part II"
Magically evolving ambient idm with impossible to forget or compare
atmosphere. Just like drowning in your fantasies or dreams. Great for late
night drug-overdose listening... 8)
9/10
That's it for now. There are so more but I'll follow them up later.
