Ten and Tracer – You’ll Be A Hero Soon, Speaker

Ten and Tracer

GENRE: Electronic, IDM, Ambient, Downtempo

Label: Archaic Horizon
Release date: 2010
Total running time: 0:24:33
Jonathan Canupp, the fellow behind the name Ten and Tracer, gives us these previously thought to be lost songs as the album ‘You’ll be a Hero Soon, Speaker’. He says they come from one of the best and most transformative periods of my life and reflect a new expermintation in his music. As fans of Ten and Tracer’s early work would expect, this album is filled with the corrupted chords and detuned drones that listeners quickly learned to crave. Synths are ever mysterious, as they elusively pan the stereo field and compose emotive melodies.
While some tracks revolve entirely around ambient tones and melodies, drums remain an integral part of Ten and Tracers music. As Jonathan says, “they’re probably made out of tapping twigs and reproduced Rolands”. Whatever the case, for songs like ‘Dodecahedron Leads the Way’ and ‘Sometimes Tyne-Tees’ the rhythms become a more driving force. Their soft timbres and lively repetitions create a beautiful counter to the swelling, sustained chords so prominent in this album. Aside from this rhythmic play over ambient textures, Ten and Tracer laces in samples of obscured voices and clever references leaving much to be deciphered.
Available in FLAC!

aAirial – Incoercible

aAirial

GENRE: Electronic, Ambient, IDMIt worth a try!

Label: Breathe Compilations
Release date: 2010
Total running time: 0:40:15
“Another significant album full of passion, sentiment, a mixture of melancholy and joy. A polar cold, warmth of spring, rhythms of piano notes and synth that caress my ears. Gloomy or joyful sounds, organic sounds, playing with us and roam from one ear to the other as to avoid catching the hammer falls on the anvil and telling us: “a delight from aAirial.”
A new album with sounds of aAirial, will he stay with the moment?
Each album is unique, listen closer, unique, but all his albums interlaced become a harmonious whole and as indivisible. So few words and phrases in my text because unspeakable is aAirial. Who can be irresistible?” – J.R.

Analog Workshop – Emporium of Broken Toys

Analog Workshop

GENRE: Electronic, IDM, Electronic PopIt worth a try!

Label: Test Tube
Release date: 2010
Total running time: 0:46:42
«Analog Workshop is Johnny Mendoza, working out of LA, California. With a rich music background which included his guitarist father, a friend dj and a vinyl collection, Johnny started to build an interest around electronic music composing, both analog and software based, like Reason and the like.
It’s a bit awkward trying to dissecate his influences from the music he delivers with this ‘Emporium of Broken Toys’, the most notable is undoubtedly the scottish duo Boards of Canada, which has left various bits around Analog Workshop’s tracks.
This is a very interesting vision of nineties IDM and electronic pop, but with a unexpecting twist that comes from Analog Workshop’s own musical ingredients. Nicely done!» – Pedro Leitão

“After long 7years, during which I played in various rock bands, I still felt an unsatisfactory feeling, the feeling in this time I never really expressed myself without having creative compromises with other band members. … In 2003 I finally found an opportunity to implement exactly what until then was only in my head. … In 2006, with the birth of my beloved son, I finally quited playing bassguitar.

Vate – Volk

Vate

GENRE: Electronic, Downtempo, Urban, Ambient, Experimental, IDMIt worth a try!

Label: Jamendo
Release date: 2005
Total running time: 0:58:27
“Volk is a summary of the work I have done in the last four years. Since then, many movements within Mexican electronic music fused electronic music with popular music. I received a great influence from them and the feedback with other musicians was very strong. The constant in this work is the union of “modern” electronic music with traditional popular sound: music, mass culture or urban subjects. With these ingredients, plus the intention of the Chill ánd Go group and the participation in Urbe Probeta compilation, Volk was developed unconsciously.”

2 Bone Giants – The Lost Art Of Speaking Your Mind

2 Bone Giants

GENRE: Electronic, Downtempo, IDM, Big Beat, Trip Hop

Label: Dusted Wax Kingdom
Release date: 2007
Total running time: 0:35:15
The Giants’ sonic braindance is populated by blissed-out tempos, nearly invisible allusions and reflections from the leftfield. The majority of the band’s releases are instrumental, with sparse vocal elements and samples, scratches and acoustic instrument loops. The band is actually the side project/alter ego of Stealthsonic, a bulgarian electronica outfit. Everything that doesn’t fit Stealthsonic’s psyched out big beats and is aimed more at the sofa rather than the dancefloor goes under the 2 Bone Giants umbrella. On this side of electronic music the brothers behind Stealthsonic (Vladislav & Svetoslav) take the shape of two mad dexterous surgeons who slice and dice beats, loops and instruments into a breathtaking sonic concoction deep in their dusty, smokey laboratory.

TRACKLIST
01 – Intro
02 – Old’s Cool
03 – Killer’s Lullaby
04 – Underneath The Pavement
05 – The Andromeda Strain
06 – Gear Down
07 – The Sight Of Things To Come
