just picked up a 12-inch on some strange german label called karaoke. the artist appears to be kandis, and it's a five-tracker of some of the best, most original low-lying/abstract electronica i've heard in a while, similar at points to early bochum welt and maybe some freeform (but with better production and a more sophsticated sense of arrangement and compositional dynamics). tracks range from bizarre noodling to extremely cohesive, engaging ambient electro, to decidedly up-tempo, groovy beat destruction...let my unemployment-mandated one-record-a-week budget serve as this one's most elegant recommendation. oh, and the record is center-etched as karaoke no. 2; anyone have no. 1? thanks and as always any artist and/or label info is greatly appreciated... sc p.s. bay area freaks that wanna check this should high-tail it to soundworks; i found mine in the ambient bin...

i don't really know much more than you other than it was released last week on the amazing "a-musik" label that's based in cologne, germany. they just released two 12"s two weeks ago and one was by "kandis" and it was called karaoke kalk 2, and the other 12" is called something else. i know im being very vague but it's better than nothing. and one of the 12"s is one person from mouse on mars. either way pick up both records and listen away, because amongst all of this distorted electro we're wading through (im not complaining) this is definitely a amazing record. along with the new paul w. teebrook full length on op-art, another amazing label owned by kirk de-something (aka-as one). eat em up. -kiya
