I recently picked up a copy of the "Artefacts" compilation on ArT-TeK
Records (a Moscow label for those who don't know). This is excellent
stuff - sort of advanced Artificial Intelligence-ish music to my
ears, featuring artists like Fizzarum (can't wait to get their recent
album), Novel 23 and Solar X. I recommend it if you can find it, and
that shouldn't be too difficult since I saw a copy of it at each
record store I went to last Monday, and I went to three.
(BTW, for those of you in NYC, I'm new here and so far I've visited
Other Music, Etherea, Mondo Kim's, and Throb - Personally, I think
Other Music perhaps has the best selection, but Etherea let me listen
to a bunch of stuff before I bought it, so my vote goes to Etherea.
Regardless, I still prefer to buy online...)
Anyway, as I was saying, "Artefacts" is very recommended.
Which brings me to a question - the first two tracks on there caught
my ears, and I'm wondering if it's worth looking for more from those
two artists ("Lazyfish" and "Eu"). I've seen those names somewhere
before - any opinions?
I also picked up a copy of the new "Aurora" compilation on Merck, and
everything positive that's been sad about it is true - go get it!
Excellent ambient melodies, a pleasant change from all the "click and
cut" styled music and all the "artificial intelligence" styled music.
Not that I have anything against all that, it's just starting to
wear thin on my ears, is all.
While I'm talking about comps, there's a few recent comps that I'm
hesitant to buy, but I'm really curious - I haven't been paying much
attention to these labels, so I'd like them as samplers. I'd still
like to have some idea of what I'm getting into before I buy, so I'm
wondering if there's someplace I could hear them online? Otherwise,
what do you guys all think of the following:
Putting The Morr Back In Morrissey morr music
Cottage Industries neo ouija
Cashier Escape Route; Modern Supermarket Music c.c.o.
[isophlux comp] isophlux
V/A Constant Friction: Collaborations 2
Oooh, one more thing - has anyone here heard of this, and if so,
what's it like?
