After releasing two highly acclaimed remix 12″s earlier this year, Red Stars Over Tokyo now delivers the hauntingly beautiful Melody Attack album. A double gatefold, mastered to subtle perfection by Dubplates & Mastering in Berlin, RSOT delves even further into his own unique mix of the subtly trancey, emotionally driven and understated forward motion of his previous productions. As always, his tracks have an undeniable song quality, the emotions within referencing the small and mundane, whilst the inspiration behind often references a so-called bigger picture. The whole album fades in and out of focus and attention, giving its different parts room to breathe and develop. Somewhere in there, there’s a a downsized cover version of Fra Lippo Lippi’s song ‘Sense of Doubt’—its stylistic minimalism a perfect counterpart to RSOT’s ambitions. ‘Melody Attack’ is RSOT’s own dark, elegiac version of what, for sake of simplicity, could be called 90’s IDM or Ambient Techno. His is an appealing darkness that does not forbid the sun to shine through. Its sense of isolation is filled with compassion for the one isolated. This is post-dancefloor music for post-dancefloor use. An ambitious, purposely ambiguous musical stream of consciousness that never cuts ties with its past, but offers a new and intricately organized perspective that makes it modern to a tee.

Label/Cat#: Circus Company France – CCCD 014
Year: 18 November, 2013
Source: WEB, Album
Format: MP3
Quality: 320 kbps
Size: 127 mb
Genre: Electronic
Style: Deep House, Tech House

Tracklist:
1. Intro (01:51)
2. Beyond (06:51)
3. Amanite (06:50)
4. A Quiet Storm (05:17)
5. Ethereal Thoughts (06:12)
6. CAVOK (06:57)
7. Anatomy Of A Shipwreck (06:41)
8. Lies (05:42)
9. Subterranean Rivers (05:51)
10. Ditching (03:34)

‘We have been proud to watch the rise of Oleg Poliakov after he first joined our ranks with Datcha Musik way back in 2007. Since first swearing allegiance to the Circus, he has continued to unfurl a refined approach to house and techno that carefully balances a respectful mastery of the classic tropes of the genre with his own instinct for seductive melodic content. Finally, after no less than eleven singles for labels such as Bass Culture and Eklo as well as us, the time has come for Oleg to embrace the album format and take us on a journey that stretches beyond the immediacy of a dancefloor 12” and captures perfectly where he is at right now.

As the preceding single C.A.V.O.K has revealed, there is a techno spirit roaming the circuitry of Oleg’s studio, tussling with the delay and reverb gates, firing off focused, intricate rhythms and unafraid of whipping up a mean-tempered kick or two. Across Random Is A Pattern you can hear such energy surging out of tracks like “Beyond” and “Anatomy Of A Shipwreck”, with the latter having an especially tough rhythm section. However, these cuts have just as much brain as they do brawn, and in between the driving drums sit haunting pads, ethereal dub textures and curious string harmonies.

This is not an album of functional club tracks though, far from it. Recognising the value of the long player as a vessel for exploration, Oleg turns his hand to some truly unexpected patterns and tones. “A Quiet Storm” comes from the school of classic ambient electronica and leftfield broken beat, while “Holy You” makes for one of the most startling moments on the album with a powerfully resonant vocal sample over plaintive piano and a fractured rhythm.

While some may be surprised to hear the styles that Oleg has turned his hand to, the ten tracks are undeniably his. In his choice of mysterious chords and moving key structures, he continues along the smooth creative arc he has been carrying us on since he first emerged. The drums might bite harder in places, or softer in others, but Random Is A Pattern makes perfect sense as the logical next step in the unfolding story of Oleg Poliakov.’

The release – recorded earlier this year at the Circle Studio. In Circles is Maps and Diagrams second suite for Time Released Sound. Described by its author as his ‘most musical’ opus to date it features a guest appearance by Spain’s I am Dive on the parting Yesterday. Combining frosted hymnals, forlorn lullabies and celestial mirages; In Circles is richly textured and delicately spun.

In Circles will appear in two formats – a strictly limited edition cork digipak hand finished in antique wallpaper and a standard digipak issue. [Time Released Sound, October, 2013].

9. Balance (05:21)

An Expensive Vase is the first of several scheduled albums by Media Them at Recycled Plastics. The sound of Media Them is a unique blend of warm atmospherics and organic rhythms – electronic music reduced to the simplest of loops, repeating infinitely. It is both minimalist and maximalist at once, as Media Them’s composition lies not in the makeup of these loops, but rather, the size of the window we’re glimpsing them through. Small breaths of melody, heart flutters of bass, snare and hi hat and the coziest bedroom production give way to expanding universes of color and sonic exploration without end. Did that sound just repeat one more time than it did before? Was that other sound even playing since the start of the track? Media Them beckons you to refocus your ears and get lost in a beautiful hypnosis of music and mind.

Following his acclaimed 2010 debut “The Muse in the Machine” [Tympanik Audio], Lost + Directionless is a project years in the making. A decisive continuation of the musician’s haunting body of work, Lost + Directionless is his most cerebral and ambitious project to date. An album which strikes the delicate balance between form and formlessness. Between nostalgia, and a crumbling, decaying vision of the not-too-distant future.

Through Candle Nine’s ever-evolving style, from his early performances as a singer-songwriter, to his bloom into electronic music, he has become adept at exploring the contrasts of beauty and dissonance. Candle Nine’s use of glitched-out synths, multi-layered guitar assaults and harsh, yet nimble, percussions creates an atmosphere which is both eerie and serene.

When Messiaen set out to transcribe birds’ songs and employ them as models for his compositions, he couldn’t have predicted that by the 1990s wild birds would have started to learn mobile phone ringtone patterns. For “A System of Objects”, RAUDIVE mirrors environments structured as by an invisible hand. He maps an obliquely constructed world through fictional field recordings in which you loose all certainty of what is nature and what is design. Raudive’s music celebrates dance and auditory scenes as rituals, employing our surroundings as sources of ahistorical found sound – primitive technologies used to reach magickal states.

If we can’t be sure any longer of distinctions between truth and manipulation, rituals guide our relations to all encounters. A drum machine and a wooden stick, a sawtooth-shaped electric current and a split rock, woven cloth and petroleum smear all turn into empirical objects of the same class, without a definite past or a predictable impact. We have become dependent on technology we don’t grasp beyond its display surface. Lost on reason, we are thrown back on the ritual to reveal the hidden relations of what surrounds us: the club as the emblematic center of the emancipated individual, longing to bond with equals, again.

Named after a Nigerian capital, Benin City is a fused genre band fronted by Joshua Idehen (vocals), who has collaborated with Pále as well as LV (Hyperdub), Theo Buckingham (drums) and Tom Leaper (tenor saxophone/synths/samples). Their debut album Fires in the Park is an immersive journey through synth addled electro brass, leftfield UK hip hop, bass and Alternative influences. Produced by pop experimentalist Marc Pell (Micachu and the Shapes), Fires in the Park is a testament to the band s maverick nature, refusing to comply with any set of rules or genre whilst remaining consistent to itself in sound and character. From the moody, introspective bass-ness of D.A.M to the kwaito-baiting Faithless to the funkpop album finisher So You Say , Benin City is a rainbow of multiple tempo changes and mood flips, idiosyncratic yet familiar in all its guises, fresh sounding yet original. Joshua Idehen cut his teeth in the London spoken word scene, and his narrative/lyrical chops are evident. Royal Academy of Music alumni Tom Leaper’s faceted horn/synth arrangement is catchy and multi-faceted, revealing new aspects with repeated listens. Theo Buckingham, drummer and co composer, brings his drum n bass/dubstep producer experience to play, giving the album it s vibrant, often marching and sometimes dark persona. The synths interact with the horns to create a sound that is hard and bright; the traditional instrument being made to sound more metallic, more befitting of the urban sprawl Benin City s tales are set. People Will Say is the dark, introspective opener. Moody bass and harsh drums drive the frustrations on the daily struggle and the desire for success. Faithless , with its kwaito-esque drum patterns and catchy synth is a counterpoint to macabre tale of an unnamed protagonist’s decent into madness. Wha Gwan reveals Benin City’s more playful, pop arrangements and memorable horn riffs, on a tale of regret at broken friendships. Pencils is a laid back number, with lazy brass and breezy bass garnished with minimal synth, mirrors verses on sloth at the aftermath of a house party. Winning Streak wears its hip hop influences on its sleeve, despite its unusual time signature; staccato/repetitive horn patterns ride rough with the synth and bass, while providing a unique spin on the braggadocio verse format. Baby , Benin City’s first single with Audio Doughnuts, is their most current: telling of a relationship gone sour. This is London (part 2) features their most harmonic horn arrangements and features a verse from up and coming spoken word artist Deanna Rodger, simultaneously lamenting and declaring their love for London. My Love , the second spoken word track on the album is more a truthful manifesto on love than ode. D.A.M and Just the Beginning feature the band at their darkest, most introspective: the former a narrative on impotent rage and pretence, the latter a ballad on striving against the odds.
