hello all,
there are a few recent and/or not so recent releases that I've been
considering picking
up, but I was interested in learning more about them. If anyone has any
descriptions or
reviews to offer of the following and wouldn't mind sending them my way I'd
appreciate it:
the new Uusitalo: keeping in mind that while I greatly enjoy the Vladislav
"Multila" and
"entain" releases, I didn't much care for Luomo's "Vocalcity"
Starfish Pool... never heard of them until recently. What are they like?
the new snd record: i.e., is it makesnd part 2? Have they moved onto new
things? I enjoy
makesnd but hardly am looking for a repetition of it....
Jacob Mandell: the releases on Kodama... are they IDM slanted or more techy? I
picked
up Quontum Current which I like, but I am looking for less straightforward
material.
Es: I liked the art direction of the release I spotted at Bent Crayon in Cleve
but didn't know
anything about it. And I've been trying to curb my impulse shopping. :-)
Auch: release on Mille Plateaux... how is it?
Also, is anyone a fan of Speedranch/Jansky Noise? I've been eyeing some stuff
but
haven't heard any of it. I'm not too wild about the really silly VVM stuff
I've heard, but I like
some of the abrasive, less kitschy stuff.
--
as for my own recommendations, the new material on Komplott (Komp, Figurera)
is so
brilliant I'm inclined to go buy a turntable just to be able to play these
records. For now
I'm limited to the run through my friend gave me on his turntable...
the komet "rausch" release on 12K is top notch. My interest in the microscopic
thing had
been waning somewhat but Bretschneider's really hit the mark on this one.
Equal parts
glitchy minimalism and a sleek, digital bleep-groove.
and the new cristian vogel release is pretty weird. funky and noisy and
strange, in the
best possible way!
--
anyway, any recommendations or reviews of the aforementioned releases would be
greatly appreciated.
