“‘Acid In The Style Of David Tudor’ is Florian Hecker’s first full length studio (as opposed to collections and commissions for art installations) album since 2003, when the groundbreaking ‘Sun Pandamonium’ was unleashed by Mego. Since then he has collaborated on audio projects with Yasunao Tone, Russell Haswell (as Haswell & Hecker) and a forthcoming live collaboration with Richard James as well a myriad of sound installation works, individually and with numerous artists worldwide.
As the title suggests this album is referencing the parallel universes of modern 20th century composition and hedonistic rave culture. A challenging but ultimately rewarding set of Electronic Music compositions which push these two reference points into unknown areas. Set in apparent contrast are the sequence of six pieces Acid In The Style of David Tudor, where hyperchaotic functions are inherently coupled to their sources of manipulation – a Buchla modular synthesizer in combination with a Comdyna analog computer – in opposition to the ASA pieces, fruit of a complex manipulation of distinct auditory patterns into a new acoustic whole. The closing Ten opens with an intense head related localization blur. Here, virtual binaural, stereophonic, biphonic and monaural sound reproduction coexist. All three approaches are displayed into a contrasting dynamics, where non- linear waveforms and psychoacoustic illusions that constantly push our perceptual and representational fabrics. Following the ideas of Robin Mackay, Hecker’s work reinstanciates the genetic ofness, once proposed by philosopher David Kaplan, cutting both genetic and cultural territories of hearing. This release is available as CD and download with an extensive 16 page essay ‘Climate of Bass Hunter: Florian Hecker Acid in the Style of David Tudor’ by Robin Mackay, founding editor of Collapse.
It is recommended to listen to this material on loudspeakers at high volume. Headphone use is not advised.” soulseduction
NuProg, Nouveau Psych, KrautDisco, dracu sa ii mai inteleaga. De la industrial, dark-wave, printr-un disco alienat, la psychobilly si progresiv dar totul cu clubul la baza, albumul asta este inca un semn al unei noi scoli franceze care vine sa inlocuiasca atmosfera infantila in care ajunsese electro-ul post-justice. Astia sunt fratii mai mari ai copiilor electro, trecuti prin mai multe curente si stiluri si care incearca acum sa creeze o sinteza a trecutului cu gandul la viitor. Saturati de muzica dance actuala, nostalgici dupa muzicile bune ale primei tinereti dar inca cu chef de dans. Albumul a aparut la Tigersushi, labelul lui Joakim si locul celor mai bune aparitii de pe zona asta iar pe cateva piese vocea este a lui Nicolas Ker de la Poni Hoax.

Remember Permanent Vacation? Tocmai au revenit cu o noua compilatie, un fel de best of al labelului. Multe piese le stiti de prin seturile disco ale ultimului an dar poate vreti sa le aveti separat.
S-a propus in commenturile de la 1 mai un b2b Villalobos vs. Buena Vista Social Club. Pana cand lucrul asta se va intampla compensam lipsa cu un album produs de o nemtoaica (Miss Fitz) cu biblioteca de sunete si voci inregistrate in Cuba de niste japonezi (Power Shovel Audio). Merge bine daca nu aveti reactii adverse la zona cubaneza, seara, la coneac.
“The making of this record inadvertently began in Cuba in January 2008. Powershovelaudio was recording in La Havana some of the best contemporary Cuban singers and musicians. The resulting recordings were of an inspiring beauty. The situation was that Powershovelaudio had this outstanding collection of voices, woods and brass, all infused by the tropical warmth. It was first-class material that should be put in the best hands possible, then Maayan came to mind. “Night Long” is a synthetic work. Maayan has inexplicably, quickly and with incredible precision captured the essence and the expressivity of the Cuban musicians and taken it to a hitherto unknown place. Instead of concentrating in her signature minimal beats, Maayan has experimented with different cadences, depths and moods, leaving behind her swirl a disconcerting record of inspired beauty.”
Cand nu face minimal, Dominiq Eulberg este padurar (stilul botanist, nu paznic), iar asta se vede si in muzica. In primul rand coperta, nu prima pe stilul asta, apoi soundul, care face din rabdare o virtute. Producatorul construieste migalos si atinge punctul culminant al piesei de abia dupa sase, sapte minute. Te surprinde si in acelasi timp te agata precum un carlig, sa mai dai play odata, sa dai click sa-ti iei o placa. Ritm de house, ritm de tech house, bass jos, texturi de field recording aplicate discret, texturi de tonuri nostalgice care pulseaza cu caldura intr-o atmosfera organica.
