Starting to wonder why Autumn Records hasn't
received too much attention on this list, as it
should...
I'd like to mention a couple of releases that are
drenched in the melodic crunch of experimental
electronics. Imagine if you will, Funkstorung, Colongib,
and Solenoid collaborating and you have that
sense of digital chaos mixed with subtle waves
of simplicity. Frog Pocket's "My Favourite" cdr-LP
combines those energetic, and experimentally
confusing sounds with very complex rhythm's that
unfold in every corner. Frog Pocket looks to be
the guise of a certain John Charles, so if you're
on this list, kudos to you for an album that consumes
the listener with a backdrop of soothing electronics.
Very smooth..
And while i'm on topic, the AR compilation called
"Close Parenthesis" is another release i've been
enjoying these past few days. With folks like Lackluster,
Frog Pocket, Am, Gliese, Oxvylu, Otto Hive, Nanospeed,
Asterisk, Undecipherable, and Def Star, this comp
contains a wide range of silly, yet smart electronica
that is pure fun. I find it hard to believe that i haven't
picked up on Autumn Records, as they're already on
their 6th release. "Close Parenthesis" molds the human
and emotional components of audio waves with the raw
and structural elements of machine music. If you want
to hear what idm might sound like in a few years, i'd
highly recommend this compilation for starters.
Check the AR website for all the details..
