Zeigeist - The Jade Motel [2008]

Country: Sweden
Style: Indierock, Experimental, Synthpop
Format: Mp3
CBR: 44.1Khz, 320kbps.

Listen to them once and you'd be forgiven for mistaking Zeigeist for fellow Swedish art poppers The Knife. The first few tracks certainly support this theory. But listen again and you'll start to notice the (admittedly minor) differences. For one, Zeigeist trade off vocal duties between Princess and Per (no surnames needed, apparently), giving their sound a little bit more variety. Secondly, though they wear their "artsy" label proudly on their sleeves, Zeigeist's music is almost always more direct and more pop. This would be an amazing thing if the songs on their debut had the kind of hooks needed to match their fantastic electro dance beats. The album improves as it goes on, but even with repeated listens, there isn't much to sink your teeth into. "Black milk" and "Cuffs" have some interesting ideas, while "Wrecked metal" is probably the most immediately catchy of all the tracks. The frustrating thing is that it's clear that the band has enough creativity to come up with something really jaw-dropping. I'm sure every song works better as a part of their reportedly theatric live shows, but on record it's a little less than inspiring.

The Flaming Lips - Embryonic [2009]

Country: Oklahoma, US
Style: Psychedelic Indierock, Experimental
Format: Mp3
CBR: 44.1Khz, 192Kbps.

Embryonic leans heavily on the Lips' formative 60s/70s psych-rock influence (like In a Priest Driven Ambulance's "Take Meta Mars" before it, Embryonic's formidable opener "Convinced of the Hex" grooves heavily on Can's "Mushroom"), but never before has the band recorded an album so unwaveringly sinister, or so devoid of pop-song levity. (Hell, even Zaireeka had "The Big Ol' Bug Is the New Baby Now".) Wayne Coyne no longer assumes the role of the endearingly creaky, puppet-toting crooner. Instead, he's a world-weary fatalist describing scenes of environmental holocaust in a chillingly unaffected monotone on the rampaging "See the Leaves". Or he's a cult leader deviously summoning his minions on "Sagittarius Silver Announcement", before leading them to a fiery demise on the monstrous, stoner-metal onslaught of "Worm Mountain" (featuring fuzzbox-stomping assistance from MGMT). The atmosphere of dread reaches its fever pitch in the album's spellbinding seven-minute centerpiece "Powerless", where, over top a coolly ominous bass riff, Coyne's nervous verses yield to a Syd Barrett-on-Mandrax guitar freak out.

Straight back to business for the Foreign Beggars, ‘Contact’ packs a heavy punch; Kelly Price weight basslines, addictive flow and more energy than a 3 year old after a tube of Smarties. More than a lot! If that wasn’t enough you then have the phenomenal Noisia DnB Mix. Just when you thought the bass couldn’t get any bigger, the boys turn in a monstrously heavyweight mix for the Drum and Bass clubs. Foreign Beggars have done it again but pushed the boundaries beyond belief.

Crystal Antlers - Tentacles [2009]

Country: Canada
Style: Indie Rock, Experimental
Format: Mp3
CBR: 44.1Khz, 256Kbps.

Has any rock band in history been more in love with the whine of an organ than Crystal Antlers? On the SoCal six-piece's debut, Victor Rodriguez's buzzing, shrieking organ chords are pushed to the front of the mix — the heroic voice that arcs above the band's riotous guitar-bass-drums clamor. Songs like "Dust" and the bluesy "Andrew" evoke late-Sixties garage rock, but there are hints of other styles: German krautrock, Japanese noise rock and, in "Until the Sun Dies (Part One)," the free-jazz eruptions of late-period Coltrane. It's unclear what frontman Jonny Bell is caterwauling about, but it scarcely matters. The vocals are just another sound bubbling up through the thick sonic stew — the "lead singer" here is the organ.

1 Painless Sleep

The XX - XX [2009]

Country: UK
Style: Lo-Fi, Indie Rock
Format: Mp3
CBR: 44.1Khz, 192Kbps.

The XX, four kids from the dubstep heartland of south London, have quietly set up an emotional squat in those spaces, with bedsit-delicate love songs. It’s strange that such a traditional
set-up (drums, bass, keys, guitars, voices) has resulted in one of 2009’s most unique debuts. The praise can be laid at the door of the band themselves: synths-and-beats man Jamie Smith produced the album himself and they draw together eclectic materials from avant-garde hip-hop to R&B to pure pop.

Benga - Diary Of An Afro Warrior [2008]

Country: UK
Style: Dubstep
Format: Mp3
CBR: 44.1Khz, 320kbps.

Having previously heard Beni Uthman’s (aka Benga) track titled Music Box on Mary Anne Hobbs’ The Warrior Dubz, I picked up his first full length release on Tempa. The fourteen track album is a total trip through some of the deepest, groovy and at the same time melodic dubstep that I’ve heard to date. Operating out of South London, Benga’s previous numerous 12-inchers appeared on genre’s head-starters like Big Apple Records, Planet Mu, Hotflush Recordings and Southside Substars. Diary of an Afro Warrior is more than just a collection of previously heard hooks shoved through the dubstep grinder - each is unique in texture, style, and rhythm; each contains that ’in your face’ attitude that I love so much about confident artists. Among the common groove treatments, I hear some prominent hip-hop influence, electro breaks, wobbly bass and even elements of minimal and funky house. With an incredible resource of ideas, directions and style incorporation demonstrated by Benga, we can be very confident in accepting that dubstep is here to stay, and evolve way beyond its current adolescent form. Note that the tracks appearing on a 3xVinyl release are pretty different from the CD release (for example, it doesn’t contain the 2007 hit, Night, featuring D. Harris as Coki and instead it appears as a separate 12" EP). Highly recommended if you enjoy Skream, Boxcutter, Distance, Pinch and Burial. Favorite tracks: Zero M2, Night, Go Tell Them, and Emotions.

Tangerine Dream - Ricochet [1975]

Country: Berlin.Germany
Style: Electronic, Ambient, Experimental
Format: Mp3
CBR: 44.1Khz, 320kbps.

"Part One," recorded in Autumn 1975 in France, opens up with a solemn march. Froese's fuzzed guitar introduces the main theme of the piece (a repeated melody of C-Bflat-Aflat-G-F-G), then the keyboards latch on to it, doubling the melody and adding harmonic variations. Of note, there are real drum sounds (presumably Chris Franke, given his earlier role in the band and the emphasis on toms) in addition to synthetic percussion. The march builds and builds, before being intruded upon by a sudden barrage of garbled sound samples. At about eight minutes into "Part One", the second half turns an urgent pace. Now the instantly recognizable, classic Tangerine Dream sound flows in: looping melodic patterns and rhythmic sequencing to weave a soft thread of hypnosis about the listener. The band explode with a bouquet of different sounds, the layering of which is astounding, if you really sit and listen to everything that's going on. Again, did just three people play all of what we hear at once live? Incredible, if so; they must have had state-of-the-art equipment. The main theme resurfaces soon enough to lend some thematic cohesion.

"Part Two" was recorded in Croyden, England (October 23, 1975) and contains a prelude with a delicate piano ringing out lonely notes with just the right amount of echo, before a flute mellotron wanders into the picture to provide companionship. Though brief, this is one of the most beautiful moments on the album, with higher notes twinkling in the distance somewhat recalling Frippertronics. Then, it's off to another wave or two of racing, mechanistic sequencing and kaleidoscopic patterns, sometimes louder and sometimes softer, more or less seeing us through the remainder of "Part Two."

UNKLE - End Titles... Stories for Film [2008]

Country: UK
Style: Electronic, Rock
Format: Mp3
CBR: 44.1Khz, 192Kbps.

Not the new UNKLE album then, but a collection of music recorded since the band finished War Stories two years ago. End Titles comprises their music for TV and film projects, with 10 of the tracks taken from a documentary about cult film director Abel Ferrara. Like their subjects' movies, the mood is sombre. After working with DJ Shadow and then Richard File, UNKLE mainstay James Lavelle is now in cahoots with Pablo Clements of the Psychonauts, though the shift from trip-hop to widescreen stoner rock made on War Stories is still holding firm. UNKLE are good at gothic bombast and when they pile on the strings they produce densely atmospheric pieces such as Cut Me Loose. Typically for an UNKLE project, guest stars abound and Ferrara himself croaks like Dylan on Open Up Your Eyes, which perhaps should have been left on the cutting-room floor.

Passion Pit - Manners [2009]

Nostalgia’s a depressing trip, particularly the brand that manifests itself in childhood interests revisited. It’s an ephemeral fix, a little spark that holds enormous appeal for (but certainly not just for) wistful young adults world-round. I doubt I need to recount my friends and I recently watching Darkwing Duck on Youtube to make my point—you get the idea. The idealistic pull is everywhere: it’s why you can’t walk around a campus without seeing a Jem t-shirt, why nerds think gaming piqued with Battletoads, why Labyrinth would be anyone’s favorite movie, and why anybody over the age of nine will enjoy Passion Pit’s Manners.

This project relies heavily on the love and respect for the original creation but also for the bloggers’ fingertip sense to find who they believe is the soulmate to each song. The bloggers, in their turn, rely on their confidence that their remixer has the skill, passion and inventiveness to make a remix that truly creates something new and interesting out of the original.

Website: http://futuroprimitivo.com

Futuro Primitivo (a.k.a. Matjaz Mon) is a post-electronica act from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Matjaz developed a very personal vision of music and the current times being often credited as a “primitivist musician from the end of the world” and “the dark side of Manu Chao”. His music style comes from a combination of post-rock, IDM, nu-jazz and digital hardcore, retainning a characteristic sound using solely virtual instruments and processing.

His debut release, Everyday Life is War, is a concept album made available as “pay-what-you-want” model, curiously the same day the War on Gaza started. On stage, Futuro Primitivo employs visual elements to accompany performances.

Skream - Rinse 02 [2007]

Country: UK
Style: Dubstep
Format: Mp3
VBR: 44.1Khz, 178Kbps.

This mix is quite a hefty run through of all the big tracks of 2007 in the world of Dub-step (which is a relatively new but ever-increasingly popular music genre). The sound is from London and the UK (which is where most of the producers on the mix come from. The tracks are based upon what DJ Skream likes personally and what he plays at DJ sets (or was in the 2007-2008 period).
Kulture kicks off the mix with a reggae infuse synth bassline rizing track which gets the energy levels pumping straight from the outset (interesting way to start a mix!) Next is a track from Skream himself which was popular one on pirate radio and in D clubs 'wobble that gut' with minimal progressive beats and bass-lines. Next is another skream track of a remix of a garage track by dj zinc. Its got bass technical-wobbles and a sick vocal (cool). Then its Skream again with Cluekid on a more intense bass-snaking downwards. A cool track by Skream called sinisterize is minimal with a one note horn riff and cool technical drums. Kode 9 comes with an abstract turn in the mix. Next is a v. popular bass shifting track from benga. Coki comes with an equally bassy shifting track.
The tracks continue with variations on the above tracks mentioned and stay equally bassy and in touch with one another. There are more interesting Skream tracks towards the end of the disc. Overall the cd is interesting but can become repetative with time. But it is a good look at what was going on in the world of skream in 2007.

Skream - Skream! [2006]

Country: UK
Style: Dub, Grime, Dubstep
Format: Mp3
VBR:44.1Khz, 212Kbps.

You have to pity poor Skream (or Olli Jones as he's known to his mum). Having had enough music stored away for several (ok - several hundred) albums, his dubstep debut arrives with a rather dull thud, obscured not only by the a handful of recent offerings (not least Burial's gorgeously deep outing), but also, ironically, by his own prodigous talent.

Having churned out the dubs at a rate of nots (and released the vastly superior Skreamizm series, also on Tempa), the album has a "will this do?" quality to it - any casual listener to his regular Rinse FM shows will know Jones can do so much better than the awkward jump-up of 'Kut-Off' or the non-descript 'Tortured Soul'.

Although it comes nowhere near the futuristic funk of 'Blipstream' or 'Lightning's feverish junglisms, 'Skream!' still contains some devestating delights for the dancefloor, even if few suprises. 'Dubbers Anonymous' is a brilliantly minimal low-end wobbler, worth the entrance fee alone.

Atom Heart - Repetetive Digital Noise [Vinyl, 1992]

Country: Germany
Style: Acid, Minimal, Techno
Format: Mp3
CBR: 44.1Khz, 320kbps.

Rare Atom Heart tracks from 1992, with Tetsu Inoue. "18th release on Recognition, label run from Warsaw, Poland by Jacek Sienkiewicz, is a rare and special one. For the first time available on vinyl, there are four tracks recorded more than a decade ago by the mysterious 'I'. This was one of the many aliases of Uwe Schmidt (aka Atom Heart, Senor Coconut, Lisa Carbon...) and a CD released in 1992, titled Repetitive Digital Noise was a major influence on Jacek's sound. Simple, minimal, rough, but careful, haunting and hypnotic, here are four tracks of stripped-down, hallucinogenic, acidic techno, sounding as fresh as years ago. As Recognition releases aim to be equally timeless, this is a perfect moment to refresh what's in the very roots of modern electronic dance music. Tracks were remastered by Atom Heart in Chile this year especially for this limited release."

The Knife - The Knife [2001]

Country: UK
Style: Electronic, Synth-pop, Experimental
Format: MPC
VBR: 44.1Khz, 198Kbps.

This highly fêted Swedish synth pop group was formed in 1999 by siblings Karin Dreijer Andersson (b. 1975, Sweden) and Olof Dreijer (b. 1981, Sweden). Karin Dreijer had previously performed with the indie pop band Honey Is Cool, but left to set up the Knife with her brother. From the outset the project was shrouded in mystery, with the duo shunning the media and posing for promotional photos in Venetian masks. The duo made their recording debut in 2000 on their Rabid Recordings label with the single "Afraid Of You", and released their self-titled debut album the following year. The songs drew on 80s styled electro pop but also incorporated "natural" instruments including guitars, flutes and accordions. The effect was both charming and slightly unsettling, with strange lyrics about animals and birds adding to the odd atmosphere.

Country: UK
Style: Breaks, IDM, Broken Beat, Hip Hop
Format: Mp3
CBR: 44.1Khz, 320kbps.

Prefuse 73 uses the human voice as an instrument and is though following the ideas of human beatbox. Stuttered rap voices whom are sampled from a record by putting down the needele on the record randomly. The result is not experimental at all but fresh groovin´ tunes with that special extra. If Autechre are subliminal hiphop, Prefuse 73 brings the nerdy harddisk-rock of Autechre back to the streets.
