Grammar – EP

Rate:4/5

This one is a nice piece of experimental electronica, that I stumbled upon while I was checking 49manekinow net label. EP consists of six, rather short (3 minutes, 4 the longest) compositions in Autechre and generally warp records based style. My favourite tune here is Jnry Crush, which very neatly combines abstract samples with composition and Offsediment, when the breaking really takes place. Everything is quite nice and decent about this record, and if one likes that genre he will enjoy this EP. The shame about distributing it is that you got the record cover only after downloading the whole, so visual guys may simply ignore the release and the net-label as well. Apart from that it is a recommendable album, truly a chalenging, but rewarding thing to listen to.

take care,

Repose - Solace

Rate:5/5

Piano gently begins its melody. The beat is trip-hop, and the girl's voice is just sweet as honey. The melody gently flows, taking the listener into moody but catchy piece of very neatly produced music. It's quite useless to speak about what's hot and what's not in this piece, because it's almost perfect. I loved the lead vocals - the singer definitely has a big talent. She doesn't have to sing in all pitches to create the atmosphere - and that counts a lot. All the samples, keyboards and the beat are also very professionally produced. A composition is also interesting. There are two breaks (1:10 I believe, and a similar one around 1:55) than creates a dramaturgy of the record. Overall it's a strong proposal for an underground hit. I like more darker side of trip-hop (if you know Tricky records than you know what I mean), but that track is also undoubtedly recommendable.

The Metronomus Project - Took Away

Rate:4/5
nice but not extraordinary
This is a very good draft to a composition. A riff and rhythm section is more than okay, but the composition itself it's not really elaborated. The production is almost perfect (I would work on the bass), but still... Where's the chorus and some changes in the mood of the tune (some samples, perhaps?).

Zodiac - End to Chivalry

Rate:4/5

Well.. That's engaging
How do you sound like? You do sound like NIN or some lighter side of KMFDM but it's still intersting and quite engaging. There's a nice balance between manic Trent-like vocals and hypnotic samples. I liked electronic drums to. The tune is just right - not too long, not too complicated. Right there - an industrial electronic composition at its best.

Rate:4/5

A psychotic piece
I loved it!!! This is a Tarantino soundtrack piece-like tune. Just kidding! It's more like Jodorovsky one! You're lucky because I do enjoy such out-of-head stuff.It's long, it's 12minutes-long and it's more, just as I said, more a out-of-space, Residents-like soundscape than a regular track. Well... It's a regular track in PsychicTV terms ;-). Generally, a recommendable tune. For psychotics. I nominate that song for A best tune suited to an elevator.
