If you read already the first part of this review of Berlin Atonal 2017, you already know I'm taking you through an audio-visual journey spiced up with some mushrooms, just to refresh your mind. As I commented in part 1, my vision of the festival, my highlights are extremely a personal choice, and I’m happy that I shared conversations during the festival where other people have different views. Also I…
Here is my very personal review of the past Berlin Atonal 2017, and I say very personal because first, it’s always a personal choice and taste, and second because my Atonal experience is always an inner journey, indeed the original title of this review was "Atonal on mushrooms”. But somehow I don’t want to make of this a sensational thing like a vice-kind-of-article. So first things first, an introduction: Berlin…
The last album I gonna recommend this week (beside the ones from Justin Walter and Ancestral Voices) is the new Forest Swords’s “Compassion”. I must confess this is not any discovery, but I was really looking forward to listen it, as the first single was already promising. Also he is not a newcomer, he already have a remarkable work before this album and it is released on Ninja Tune, which…
I discovered the work of Ancestral Voices back in 2015 with the album “Night Of Visions” released on Samurai Music Group, which somehow surprised me as I identified this label with more dance-floor oriented electronic music. The first thing that called my attention was its cover artwork and also his artistic name, I felt instantly connected with it and I knew I would enjoy the trip. And now with his…
This week has been musically pretty exciting, and I just say that because this week I found several albums that kept me hooked. I could review all them in one post but I think each of them deserve proper attention. So, let’s go with the first one: the new album from Justin Walter for Kranky record label. I didn’t know Walter’s work but I had a pretty good reference with…
I guess sharing and commenting on the new album from Colin Stetson is a must, at least from a personal point of view, as I have been following his career for already some years and somehow I have to thank him and his music for opening my mind to other genres and specially other instruments. I can’t say enough how impressive an emotional his music can be, the same goes…
I think it was last year when I discovered Terminal Dream, a music label from Russia run by Pixelord and Gultskra Artikler. If just the name alone of Pixelord is a great reference to catch my attention, the name of the label (Terminal Dream), their own definition as ``Psychedelic label`` and their artworks made it all easy for falling in love with it. So, I have been going back to…
It’s been a while from my last music recommendation, so today instead one I offer you four inspiring works / artists. My music hunger is always pushing me to dig in internet (lately mainly in bandcamp), so these three releases and a mix (looking forward to the imminent release of Ellen Arkbro’s new work) are the ones I have been listening more in repeat. It’s curious to find myself digging…
Even though I grow up listening mainly electronic music and I consider it my most favorite genre in all its forms. I must confess that in the last years I developed a fascination for musicians playing classic instruments with a personal approach, that's the case of Colin Stetson, for example, or Mario Batkovic, an accordion player I discovered some days ago. It amazes me when someone is able to puzzle…
Sometimes I just pick on some new albums only due to their artwork cover, that's what happened with ``In A Silent Way`` from Nico Niquo, and in cases like this you end up discovering an amazing album behind it. Which also applies to all the work published by Orange Milk Records (musically and visually). I was highly impressed by the touching melodies and ambients contained in this LP. Dreamy and…
