Lackluster - "You Are On My Mind EP"
mtk.mp3.119 - 5 tracks, 15.50, 19.6 mb - 07/10/03
He released one of the first ever Monotonik .MOD releases, all
the way back in 1997, and over 6 years and several highly acclaimed
CDs later, Finnish electronic wiz Lackluster, aka Esa Ruoho, fresh
from live sets in Ireland and Russia and his recent 'Showcase'
compilation CD on Merck Records, has handed over the keys to his
mind and returned to the net.label fold with this sublime 5-track EP.
Right off the bat, 'Cut1' comes out with a tremendously complex
blend of Lackluster's signature smooth melodies, with a newer, almost
dubby edge, before the languid 'Ambling On' shows off rocksteady beats
and a drifting, just gorgeous lead. Up next, 'Cut2' sneaks up with an
almost 'CDR#2' or 'Container'-like simplicity of spirit and purity of
thought,
before 'Tumbling Along' shows up, all perfect drum programming and
lolloping breaks. Finally, 'Ender' ends things off subtly with reversed
sounding loops and a humming bass, a fitting finish to a simply beautiful
EP that Monotonik is proud to be hosting for free.

Also don't forget a couple of other things:
- the full Monotonik net.label catalog (except the last few releases, which
will be added soon) are freely and _legally_ available via the P2P
BitTorrent util at:
http://www.gametab.com/files/monotonik.php - yay. We've
found some very generous hosts, and are planning to make similar BitTorrent
arrangements for all the other idm net.labels, so watch this space.
- the Internet Archive, a non-profit based in San Francisco, has started
hosting lots of net.labels on its super-high-speed connection, so you can
actually stream, download and review a whole bunch of great free electronic
music in one place - see my post at
http://www.archive.org/iathreads/post-view.php?id=8986 for more details.
Please take some time to review releases, comment on the messageboards, etc,
if you can!
Thanks again,
h0l@monotonik
