ENT MICH
|
"Recorded live at San Francisco's RX Gallery. Irrevocably contains a wide selection of material from Hrvatski's vast repertoire, including a majority of otherwise unreleased tracks and reworkings of some of his classic anthems. Rather than neatly beat-match each piece into a dancefloor-ready whole, Hrvatski herein opts to tear his oeuvre apart in a truly depraved manner, eviscerating familiar themes and passages into a distorted uptempo mess which is then coated with layers of previously recorded instrumental passages, found sounds, realtime digital bleeps, and loads of added beats and breaks (hence the title). One could say that Irrevocably is Hrvatski's tribute to such amped-up, overdriven live albums as High Rise Live and The Ventures Live in Japan '65."

SILLY 007CD
|
"Sillyboy, the label owned by Italian band Jennifer Gentle (now on Sub Pop Records), is proud to announce the release of What's your function?, a tribute to the legendary Italian avant-composer Franco Battiato. Loved by artists like Julian Cope, Jim O'Rourke and Steven Stapleton (Nurse With Wound), Battiato is now a famous and successful pop star, but in the early Seventies, alongside with Area and PFM, he was one of the prime movers of the burgeoning Italian prog-rock scene and became a cult figure in countries like UK and Japan. What made Battiato completely different from other progressive acts of the era was his strong sense of humour and quirky approach to music, while his lyrics were an idiosyncratic mix of Gurdjeff teachings and Flash Gordon sci-fi imagery. Pretentious, naive, but always compelling, Battiato's early works are a milestone in the otherwise slim canon of Italian rock -- an unholy, fucked-up mix of Kraut rock, electronics and Stockhausen-influenced sonic collages never to be equalled. In order to salute this strange looking, out-there pioneer, we called friends from all around the globe -- we asked to cover his songs and the result is a sampler of fine fine artists approaching the oblique, bizarre art of Franco." Artists: Volcano the Bear, Kinski, Hrvatski, Zu vs. Okapi, Jennifer Gentle, Land of Nod, Cul de Sac, Los Natas, Circle, Oneida, Acid Mother's Temple + Ruins.

STAUB 039CD

"Staubgold proudly presents the self-titled debut album from the Sydney duo Sun, licensed from Australia's Preservation Records for exclusive worldwide release, and accompanied by a complete bonus remix album feat. mixes of all original tracks by Hrvatski, Mapstation, Pluramon, Christoph Heemann, Tom Recchion, Rafael Toral, Pimmon and Voice Crack. Sun is the unusual pairing of world renowned experimental guitarist Oren Ambarchi and Australian music figurehead Chris Townend. Sun confirms its authors as two truly original music minds, a languid and sweet pop creation, brimming with sly invention in its classicist frame. These songs simply float into the consciousness with a grand air and sublimely delicate touch. There's an easy warmth to Sun as well as some darker surprises for added depth and nuance."

"Remixes by Jake Mandell, Atropa, Safety Scissors, Instigator, Melt Banana, String Theory, The Time Out Drawer, Sutekh, Pal:ndrom, Hrvatski, Twine, Pele, Macwhat, Solenoid, K-Rad, Molarlmill. Salvo Beta makes friends wherever Salvo Beta goes, and its no surprise that they've lined up to kick his ass from all over the musical spectrum on his new record Evil Against Evil. Japanese-hardcore, spacey-kraut-rock, and acoustic guitar math-rock flavored remixes round out this otherwise perfectly exquisite line-up of both up-and-coming and established electronic gunslingers. Sean Wolfe (aka Salvo Beta) has put himself up against the ropes, hoping to take it like a man from his friends and neighbors. Salvo Beta's oddly manic and noisy debut Abrasive Stuttering was released in early 2001 to IDM-ers and noise enthusiasts who eagerly chomped at the bits, glitches and little-guy-as-tough-guy beats. The record was nothing if not a testament of unconventionally sassy and noisy IDM, and coupled with a successful series of shows, attracted the camaraderie of other artists. Plans were made and this remix record was born..."

"Collection of erstwhile (Chicago ca. 1998) in form, yet modern in presentation Japanese artists running amok amidst the presence of scenester Atsushi Sasaki (Headz/Fader magazine, also he of the late/lamented Meme label). Two themed disc-selections, one all-instrumental (Songs, mostly Gastr-Del-Tortoise leaning ensembles), one vocal groups (Voices, ditto, far more mainstream J-Pop sensibilities, Stereolab). Standouts: Potoratch's short vocal & drum plunderphonic etude, Minamo's drone followed by imperceptible clicking fading up into punch-in/out edits, GROUP's extended guitar and electronics rustler, Tujiko Noriko's (Mego connection, pay attention...) pained laptop-concréte warbler. Curious mix of straight up live-band dynamics and newfound experimental technological interventions and avenues (VST Plugins, seemingly everywhere, live to glass recording methods, software compression/maximization). It's your duty to listen now, for the future. Soft, mostly." -- Hrvatski.

"A stripped down duo version of the 'Roots and Wires' group (personnel: Hans Koch, Martin Schütz, I-Sound, Studer & Singe) recorded late February 2000 in Zurich, with additional remixes by Singe recorded in the spring of 2001. An interesting and often challenging multi-disciplinary meeting; each clearly stemming from different sides of the tracks (Fredy being the master Euro-improviser percussionist legend, Singe being the Soundlab co-founder collagist junglist turntablist). Anything but what you'd preconceive ('You play some crazy free improv scatter beats and I'll drop an amen... check it!'), actually a rather vital and surprising mix, from Singe's chansons-plunder and electro-body-rock to Fredy's prog-jams and falling sheets of metal. A section of skratch-found vocals and bowed cymbals brings to mind nothing less than Bob Ashley's tell-all intimates or Nurse With Wound. Pretty cool." -- Hrvatski.

"6 track mini-LP from this Wauvenfold side-project (I know how helpful that is but bear with me), on a new label run by former Creation label personality Dick Green. A nice stuttery low-tech affair, crunked beats, almost BOC-like SH-101 melodies, gases. Pleasant and pretty, if slightly trance-informed in spots. An artist-set to watch out for." -- Hrvatski.

"Following the release of her universally successful debut album Salt Peter (Creation, 1995), Lesley Rankine moved to New Orleans. Six months later, after a rash of car-jackings and hold-ups, a sufficiently scary incident happened. A woman was brutally murdered in the garden of her house opposite and the killer had deposited her clothing in Lesley's garbage as he left the scene. Lesley left New Orleans 5 days later and moved to Seattle to start recording her second'album. In-between touring and the stint in New Orleans, Lesley recorded a version of "Kung Fu Fighting' with Tom Jones (way before it was compulsory to do so) and performed 'Thank Heaven For Little Girls' in an ad filmed in LA for Pepsi/Mountain Dew..." This official description goes on & on about the traumas of being sucked into the Creation vortex, typical "Pro Label" nonsense: say nothing about the music, mention the Mountain Dew commercial, etc,, and hype the credibility enhancing remixers who've been duped in: Mekon, Schneider TM, Bench, Mira Calix, Max Tundra, Solex, Kid 606, Hrvatski, Eli Janney, Deckwrecka, Anjali, Dot Allision, Console, etc.

Reissue of this 2001 release. "Solo debut (discounting, rightly so, the 'Adaptable Man' flexidisc) from OR Records' CEO, after a Merzbow collaboration (Akita/Azuma/Haswell/Sakabira, Ich Schnitt Mich In Den Finger, MEGO 022) and several compilation appearances (remix of Thurston Moore on Lo's Root, remix of Merzbow on the Blast First Scumtron CD). Merzbow comparison(s) aren't that far off really (Pita, on the other hand, can sound JUST like Merzbow). A collection of field recordings, live performances (yalping and all), processed and gutted, presented as a touring catalogue of sorts. Quite rowdy." -- Hrvatski.

"Third installment of this awesome BORE-manip program in which Krush works out (of) the back-catalogue over 44:51. 808 bass bombs, large amounts of guitar noise, some great gated phased drum bits (a nod towards early minimalism? you decide), parts of certain choons left intact, morphed with others. Surprisingly not the low-bit late-night crackle-pop stoner hip hop jam we were all expecting but something... slightly more challenging in a way, with a good deal of plunderphonia, digital editing, etc... An unlikely match that works... oh so well (on so many levels). Just damn gratifying." -- Hrvatski.

DISKONO 07

"They said it would never happen, but it has! At last after a year in production and many tears shed, beers sunk and fist fights, we present 26 tracks of sharp and clean 'avant-pop' action from 'the multi-media cabal masquerading as a Scottish record label'. Everything we have ever thought or felt about music put into 72 short minutes, with contributions from friends we have debated with, missed deadlines with and never returned phonecalls to over the last 3 years plus 'live' snapshots from Diskono events. New tracks from Pimmon (Fallt / Staalplaat), Opopop (Alku / Mego), Antenna Farm (Fat Cat / Phtalo), Felix Kubin (Gagarin / A-Muzik), Danielle Lemaire (Inner Landscapes), Jan Van Den Dobblesteen (Cosmic Volume), Hrvatski (Reckancomplex), Jane Dowe (Mille Plateaux / RT Mark), Klaus Oldanburg, Docktor Barnes Advocaat, Gabriel Amato, Gunter Saxenhammer, CK Dexter Haven, Skagboy 3, Black Dot Corporation (Gentle Giant), Wee Dj's (Scusi / Penalty), Alejandra & Aeron (Lucky Kitchen / Fat Cat) plus both sides of Aerospace Soundwise's 'physical remix' 7" (released in May 1999 edition of 250), Kid 606's FRANTIC!!! cut and twist 'megamix' of Diskono 04, Jane Dowe's deconstruction of The Clash's 'I'm So Bored With The U.S.A.' and V/VM's notorious tribute to the don of techno 'String Up Your Wife'. All in 3 part sleeve designed by Klaus Oldanburg. 'Avant-pop' has never sounded so good ."

"Debut album from Skam's lone US-based offering, the duo of Justin 'Consecteteur' and Jesika, two greater Detroit area 'yoots obsessed (perhaps) with 80s dance pop, bleeps, basically all the good stuff. Quite lovely electro jams (on the soft side), assorted sonic tomfoolery abound, strict 8th note pulse programming, striking resonances, yes. A concept album of sorts to boot (not revealing... how... exactly), melancholic, well played, full of vigor, displaying substance. Another nail yanked out of the Skam coffin, so to speak. Gallant, brash. Living." -- Hrvatski.

"The cover art alone is perfect; an anteater & color/layout scheme nicked from some global prescription ad campaign ("Experience the triumph of the human spirit with... IVAR.01 (Propalanalsorbigestate)"). An entire album composed on a Casio MT-68 (best Casio EVER, it's phantom tones and samba arpeggios haunt even today, 15 years after my personal unit was disassembled in attempts to locate the 'tiny musicians'), mixed with a Zoom Studio 1201 (popular FX-rack-inna-box) on a Fostex Multitracker XR-7 (cheapest, therefore best layering K7 unit). Very nice if redundant selection of melancholy modes & tempos, the perfect antidote to the sort of over-programmed overtly high-tech electronic music that's almost always amazing but sometimes just too... intense for Sunday morning. Could be of immense use to existing fans of Pluxus, Schlammpeitziger, 'casiocore', etc... Rather comforting." -- Hrvatski.

"Second EP from Stefan Robbers for his own FWD label. Four tracks in varying experimental styles; Gescom-y machine polyrhythms & drones, digital cut up hip hop, to blissed out ambient chord patterns with digital grit. The entire B side is rather pleasing with its wafting overtones and gklitchsounds. A rather nice pearl in the recent wave of IDMurk." -- Hrvatski.

Reduced price, last copies. "Whistler's Bombardier is a composite of musical textures that inform Mark Kolmar's education and training in musical composition and computer sciences. The album flirts with ambient before hitting a rhythmic stride and a full-on Amen-break-fest on 'The Strength To Be Weak' which will make Hrvatski and Squarepusher run for cover. Always one for variety, Burning Rome also covers downtempo processed-beats and experimental percussion on Whistler's Bombardier, not to mention throwing a loungy climax and dramatic resolution."

"Intricately laid IDMania from Mr. Travis from the South, three tracks from his Merck records debut; Triskaideka", "Tedow" (incorrectly labeled as "Could We"), and "Intrinlrrr" with one vinyl exclusive, "Mtwat" (Missing Those Who Aren't There). A very impressive display of tag-team melody/rhythm programming (esp. given the ridiculously outmoded MOD construction environment used within; akin to carving Mount Rushmore w/a toothpick). Above average use of harmonic material; gives the tracks the illusion of 'music'. Quite good." -- Hrvatski.

PAUSE 003

"Ninth CD by this prolific Russian IDM artist (previously: EU_Soft, EU_Phonic, Clip Cool, EU_Hard II, (V,W), Rhythm Manipulation, 19, Christmas Baubles). Now I am as permissive of IDM as the next guy, but after eight albums of the stuff, it gets a bit regurgitative. No, I'm kidding you. This is really EU's second real album after his Art-Tek 'debut'. Although he does have seven other albums out, they are mp3.com DAM CDs which really don't count as real albums as they're manufactured by mp3.com on special 'temporary use' CDs. This CD is a real CD and will last forever and ever. I like how, in the music, those mystery sounds come in then drums come in then the melody is in then the drums are out then at the end it's everything all together. I like that. And the voices, how they remind me of being a child, their childishness. It brings on a nice feeling here... and here. When I'm sleeping and in the magic fairy kingdom that inhabits my dreams there's a soundtrack like this, all sweetness and light with a little bit of sadness. No one's every tired cause no one ever works very hard. And in the purple mushroom cloud passage where the sprites (passage edited)... Lite." -- Hrvatski.

JIVE 20502CD

"Interesting solo debut EP (10 tracks, 47 minutes)from this Parisian musician-fellow-personality, producer of Tony Allen's 'comeback' LP Black Voices (on the Comet Label), in fact Tony's loose-limbed drumming is featured sporadically throughout this EP as well. L also worked with Franco-Hip-Hoppers Asassin, Les Negresses Vertes, scored tracks for the SourceLab and Freezone comps (forging a direct link to the 'New French New Wave'). An interesting mix of electric Miles-era instrumentation (Rhodes, analog sequences, many layers of oscillating synths, loose drumming, fuzz bass, machine sounds) processed by a boatload of VST plugins rendering all of these 'natural' sounds quite digital/alien in the process. Occasional spoken overtones bring the alpha factor down a little but overall quite impressive, especially given it's major-label status. The best introduction to this guy's sound world, retro but still highly technology-oriented, an odd paradigm." -- Hrvatski.

Triple vinyl version. "The album that follows the EP. Slightly more auto-tuned (i.e. Cher; "Believe", Kid Rock; "Cowboy", Baha Men; "Who Let the Dogs Out", etc...) vocals than necessary. There's a nice little blurb evident on the CD's spine which reads "No samples from external source have been used but replaced by a direct to disc system, using live instruments. All instruments and recording were done in my room (La Maison Studio). Drums, bass, guitars, percussions, keyboards, Moog, Rhodes, drum machines, analog sequencer, vocoder, Sherman & special effects processed by computer, mixed with environmental sounds", which for an electronic music record is highly unorthodox (actual instruments? get right out of town...). Still worthy of repeated listens. Anything that brings elements of Fela Kuti/Herbie/Miles 69-73 into a largely pattern-based (i.e. 'dancefloor') context can't be all that bad really after all." -- Hrvatski.

CYTRAX 16

2000 release. "Safety Scissors is Matt Curry, a recent Carpark signing previously employed by the same vanguard west coast audio software developing firm that houses a certain Josh Kit Clayton, since relocated to Berlin. This EP starts out with some nice almost-shuffle feel rhythms and the kind of dubby backdrop you'd be likely to find on records by other Berlin residents. The second track fares better; computer crackle bits over a sly techno framework. On the B-side, a somewhat epochal chord voice set chimes underneath a positively Detroitian rhythm set, while the adjoining track works its single record pop with some dubby jabs and stabs. All in all a perfectly functional outing with a little science thrown in for measure." -- Hrvatski.
