Current favorite release:
Bauri's first full length release "Slacker Journal" is completely infectious
for many reasons. First off the melodies through-out the entire album are
gorgeously woven around delicate sometimes aggressive rhythm programming.
Much in the same vain as Funktroung, Bauri has a remarkable sence of
progression and space with each compostion on this album. Subtle builds,
intricate poly rhythms, layering of fragmented static and patient textures
fade in over time. All of these elements combine to form what I think is one
of the strongest IDM releases of the year. The other beauty of "Slacker
Journal" is that it doesn't wear on the ear. If anything it's soothing mood
begs recollection and another listen. Simply put, Beautiful!!!!
Current favorite label:
Neo Ouija: Lee Norris (aka Metamatics, Norken) has an amazing ear for
talent. So far I am yet to hear a disapppointing release from Neo Ouija or
Norris. Much like Norris' former label Clear, N.O. has crafted a particular
sound and esthetic that I am yet to see happen with any other budding IDM
labels. The art work is superbly representative of the music and they have
been consistant and prolific with there releases. Some of the N.O. artists
include: Bauri, Geiom, Metamatics, Sica, Kettel, Funckarma, Sence and
Accelera Deck.
If you're interested in N.O. but don't know where to start check out the
"Cottage Industries" compilation. It's a great sampler of the labels sound
and general philosophy.
