Fresh Australian Styled Electronica for your Listening Pleasure
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
This is the debut release from the new Sydney based electronic
label Couchblip! This is a diverse compilation feaaturing music
from Disjunction Reunion, Robokoneko and Bloq. This CD incorporates
a very individual interpretation of many different styles of
electronic music. All three artists experiment with sound on an
emotive level through timbre, melody, rhythm and composition while
juxtaposing elements from existing musical forms, both traditional
and contemporary.
Styles range from up-tempo twisted distorted beats to melodic
downtempo loungeroom music.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"An interesting idea for a compilation this one, combining as it does 15
tracks from only 3 artists; Robokoneko, Disjunction Reunion, and Bloq.
There's a solidarity (both audible and ambient) which binds the 3
electronic producers and their instrumental works. The music also has
quite a bit of warmth considering all 3 are using what I assume are
palates of mainly synthetic, rather than naturally occuring and then
manipulated sounds (save for the occasional vocal sample)."
"Opener 'The Potato Barn' by Bloq (one of my favourites) is a good
example using a gorgeous synth-string arrangement in its closing moments
that emphasises the melodic element and the ability simple tunefullness
has to stir different emotions. All 3 artists seem to have a penchant
for experimenting with melodic and rhythmic ideas rather than grooves as
well as dropping some crunch and distortion into the mix. That said,
it's also a lulling affair, quite easily digested while having plenty in
the way of intricacies to keep you attentive."
