words by Jeff Mills: From the beginning, I knew that with this subject, if not approached in the genuine way, could be misleading as to why I would make a project on the subject as predictable as a Pet Robots. It is clear to me that Robots will become more important as they integrate in to our everyday lives and increasingly so in the far future. With this view of certainty, the inescapable facts about how we will shape our existence will grow as we wrestle with how much civility our societies will require.
My interest grew over the past year on this subject and the view I’ve developed of the negligent and reckless usage of technology like computers, Internet, reproductive science and artificial intelligence. Enhanced by the media sources, these instances of deceit and alternative motives become major, influential and controlling. It seems that in our quest to perfect ourselves and the world around us, we often accept and ignore tradition, the values that are taught and learned in the possesses.
Banuiesc ca daca mai auziti ceva de Akufen va enervati dar asta chiar e o recomandarea a lui, un canadian de la acelasi label pe care eu pana acum nu il ascultasem, cu un sunet foarte asemanator, adica foarte misto.
“You may know Joakim Bouaziz from his 2007 album Monsters & Silly Songs, a sui generis fusion of disco, post-punk and pop that became something of an instant cult classic. You may know him for his remixes of artists like Cut Copy, Simian Mobile Disco, Annie, Alter Ego, DJ Mehdi, Royksopp and Poni Hoax. You may know him from his years behind the scenes at Tigersushi, the iconic Parisian label at the crossroads between post-punk, dance music and the avant-garde. But whatever you think you know about Joakim, prepare to be very surprised by this, his third studio album.
Over the course of a tidy 51 minutes, Joakim and his band mates fold together bits of psychedelia, old-school computer music, exotica, electro-pop, blues, new wave, New Pop, Krautrock and more into an expansive, remarkably coherent album that refuses to be reduced to a single genre, much less a single idea. This is no pastiche: these are proper songs, and the whole album follows the kind of overall arc that’s rare in a contemporary longplayer. […] “
Scotianul Gravious, pe numele sau real Ali Jackson, si-a facut reputatie in cercurile dubstep. Epul de fata aduce trei piese datatoare de trei stari de spirit. SF in stilul Detroit, soundul uneste synthuri interplanetare cu ritmuri dubstep si creaza un dubstep atat de melodios incat crezi ca e un paradox. Snaruri jazzy sparte, synthuri nu-jazz, sub bass cald si mult suflet. Play, replay, replay.
