A few excellent new releases from the morr music label...

. Styrofoam: a short album about murder cd (Morr Music 015)
Another solid release of murky indie-electronica from Styrofoam
following up their point_misser album from last year. Most tracks on
this release incorporate vocals in some way shape or form but always
in an non-intrusive manner. More than half of the tracks on this one
should stand the test of time but after listening to the superb Bomb
The Bass vs Lali Puna ep for the past week, it's hard to recommend
anything else. A definite step back to a more accessible sound for
Morr Music after the misunderstood Weschel Garland and Tied & Tickled
Trio releases. Bottom line, if you liked the previous styrofoam
releases or are a fan on the indierock-electronica hybrid sound then
check this one out.

. Bomb The Bass vs Lali Puna: clear cut cdep (Morr Music 018)
I haven't given Bomb The Bass a thought, let along a listen, since
his Bug Powder Dust days back in the mid 90s so to see a new release
on Morr Music was quite a surprise to me. This one is a collaborative
effort with current Morr Music artists Lali Puna and upon first
listen to the Clear Cut ep, I was even more suprised because this ep
was nothing like BTB's old triphoptechno pop sound. Instead BTB and
Lali Puna (with the help of herrmann & kleine, opiate, arovane, and
Christian kleine) deliver one of the best poppy melodic electronica
eps of this year. The original track features ominous synths and
punchy breakbeat offset by lali puna's ethereal vocal stylings and
intermittent yet lush melodies. Each of the remixers also add their
own signiture touches to their perspective mixes but they only add to
the beauty of the track. Imagine Hermann & Kleine or Phonem with
vocals and you'll have an idea of the sounds represented here. Has
Bomb The Base done anything else like this because if there is more
of this out there then I definitely want to hear it. The Clear Cut ep
is another Morr Music must have. Highly Recommended!
