Saltillo “A Simple Test”
Saltillo’s “Ganglion” is one of the best albums I’ve heard within last few years. Saltillo is a project of an american multinstrumetalist Menton J. Matthews, who is also a member of very interesting trip-hop band Sunday Munic. It is recommended to listen this album on decent audiophile stereo system – it’s extremly well recorded and it can show You how Your speakers can move the air.
Zan Lyons “Serial Killer Stories”
Zan Lyons is not well known, but he will…
Gus Gus “Superhuman”
In ’90 Gus Gus was for me one of the most interesting downtempo/elctronica groups. They started as 9 people band and began with a great “Polydistortion” album, then came also very good “This is Normal” (from which this track is). After there was very different from previous releases “Gus Gus vs. T-World” – very ambient and techno in sound, which confirmed that they still can suprise very well.
More contemporary productions aren’t that sophisticated. The band counts only 3 person (Veiran, President Bongo and Herb Legowitz) and remains more in dance ambiance. Some of their tunes are still worth of a look, but this is not what I would like Gus Gus to be.
Apparat “Fractales Part 1+2”
To make this saturday a little more energetic You can try “Fractales Part 1+2” performed by Apparat – German artist who started in techno and now is more in idm, ambient and electronica. Realy good music and good video as well.
Boards of Canada – In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country
Tarwater “Watersample”
This masterpiece was created by German duo (Bernd Jestram and Ronald Lippok) called Tawater. They started in punk band Rosa Extra and finished in post-rock and avant-pop ambiance. They are also known as a very ineresting theatre music authors. The “Watersample” was previously named “Warsaw on the roof” and is absolutley stunning and worth of turning Your loop mode on Your player.
The Amalgamation of Soundz “Enchant Me” [Original 12′ Mix]
DJ Shadow – Midnight in a Perfect World
Another oldschool classic. The “Endtroducing” – DJ Shadow album publishd in Isalnd Records in 1995 was a real milestone for hip-hop, trip-hop and electronic music at all. From this moment sampler became to be widely regarded as real instrument and not as electronic toy anymore. “Midnight…” and any other track on this album shows why…
