involved in music since at least 6 years manual aka jonas munk jensen
from
odense/denmark still is a really young artist, who just "morphed" from
former post-rock-guitar days to a brilliant composer of modern electronic
music (without forgetting his roots....in a certain way!).
after an amazing release on the hobby industries label, manual brings us
with his debut on morr music even further melodies and reasons for
picking
up the guitar from the corner (again). indeed manual masters it amazingly
well to overwhelm the listener with strong and soft melodies,
soundscapish
fragments and fluffy noizies which remind us to bands like to roccoco
rot,
and some of the newer chicago scene. manual mentions some of these as an
influence but denmark in general and manual in particular seems not only
in
a geographical meaning really self-supporting. the combination of
classical
acoustic intruments like his skills on the guitar/bass/piano with droning
and sweeping synth sounds and crackling electronic beats fixes broken
pieces
together and let you drift away in memories.
manual songs are principal downtempo ´cause this fact gives him the space
for the big bunch of melodies he presents. listenig to it, we are
reminded
to asphodils in spring, with dew on it (of course). sunny and dreamy
,manual
draws a flowery picture of overwhelmig coulors within his wellstructured
and
arranged songs. no doubt, he has the potential to convince fans of modern
electronica and hoboken neo-folk and bring them all together to smell the
buds of spring in the garden of jim o´rourke.
beside his solo project manual, mr. jensen plays plays guitar in the band
limp, studies at the university of odense ( we guess philosophy....or
flowers!) and will putt out a 7" on static caravan early spring.

many people may have frequently asked themselves where the man behind
bomb
the bass disappeared after producing some of the first dance records
some of
us have listened to in their lives. well tim simenon (as you may have
guessed this is his name) is now living in amsterdam, doing what he
always
did, making great music (he also started his own label now but that is
another story).
doing so he finally got in contact with the never sleeping morr music
people
which are proud to present some more of tims decent beats.
as if this wasn't enough, tim simenon joined forces with the marvelous
chanteuse valerie trebeljahr and markus acher of-lali puna-fame who once
again provides some incredible vocals and additional recordings on this
track.
mere uptempo hip hop inspired beats, a bouncy bassline and a deep, dubby
vibe topped with the wonderful warmth of valerie trebeljahrs voice make
clearcut a blistering masterpiece.
and while it is an honour for most of us who danced as teenagers to
tracks
like 'beat dis' morr music friends arovane, christian kleine, herrmann &
kleine and copenhagens finest opiate couldn't wait to get their fingers
on
the track to deliver four additional mixes.
four delicate remixes between sparse distorted breaks, shining melodies
and
hip hop influenced elektronika. let’s all bomb the bass.

isan, that´s robin saville and anthony ryan, who met in sunny
circumstances
in leicester/uk.the term isan stands for "integrated services analogue
network", and beside other reasons it reveals their interest in using
dodgy
old keyboards to make dodgy old noise. but with their new 6 track mlp on
morr music even the listeners who are new to the isan network will soon
reckognize that the definition of dodgy old noise and analogue
synth-sounds
becomes a completely new dimension. isan´s music is a kind of ambilvalent
thing: simple but pure, noisy but clear, strange but true, to mention
only a
few. the past of this band was couloured with a bunch of 7"´s, several
wide
spread contributions, various lp´s (for example cat.no.003 on morr music
...) and so on. due to the constant quality of isan´s work it´s not a
surprise that they soon got an invitation doing a john peel radio show
and
an overwhelmig feedback from the music press.
the nme e.g. compared isan a bit to plone and isan don´t really complain
about that. they mention being influenced by artists like brian eno,
stereolab, autechre, my bloody valentine... - being involved into the
isan
sound network you´ll drop the name isan equal to their influences to your
very best (girl-)friend and/or you´ll find yourself whistling their
beautiful melodies on several sunny circumstances as well. another
important
merit of isan is maybe to completely calm you down because every piece of
robins and anthony´s music creates an amazing feeling of being
"distant" to
every unnecesary thought, so just sit back, relax and let yourself go.
the
intention of isan to ignore common 4tothefloor dance-patterns doesn´t
prevent you from finding yourself on a ship of it´s own rhythmic;
sometimes
it steames and rolles and later on it just seems to slide over a sea of
melodies and all around you things just disappear and fade away...
