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…
I discovered this album when I was checking out the line up for the up-coming event ``The Long Now`` (on April 25, 2017 at Kraftwerk - Berlin), and I suddenly fell in love with this long hour of up-lifting sounds. I particularly enjoy the mixture of cultural influences, like the arabic chants that somehow remind me also to Spanish flamenco, at least in its roots. Live At Issue Project Room…
