Two years ago, Colorlist released ‘The Fastest Way To Become The Ocean’ on Serein; a four-track EP released on 10″ vinyl as part of the Seasons series. The band’s core members (Charles Gorczynski and Charles Rumback) were both living in Chicago at that time. Shortly after the release of the EP, Gorczynski moved west to Oakland, California, leaving the pair on opposite sides of the United States. The two have somehow managed to keep working together despite the huge distance between them, so we’ll forgive the couple of years it took for ‘Sky Song’, the album I present to you now, to come to fruition.

Sky Song is Colorlist’s third album proper and their first full length release since 2010. The music is deep, organic and involving – it feels like a spiritual successor to their 2008 album, Lists, which had a similarly robust and weighty sound. This may be thanks in part to the complement of modular synths which are present again on Sky Song. The deep, harmonic quality of analogue synthesizers seems a perfect companion to the pair’s usual instruments, occupying the mid-range of frequencies between Rumback’s kicks and toms, and Gorczynski’s woodwinds.

As with their previous work, Sky Song traverses a rich and wide sonic terrain. It’s not music that’s easy to classify because of the array of influences which mould the sound and indeed the improvised nature of many of the pieces. Importantly, though, Sky Song feels focused and coherent as a whole. The album has everything; peaceful and serene passages of music that make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, deep, driving rhythms that make your feet twitch and occassionally, music that erupts like a firework exploding in the sky.

Colorlist don’t have to stick to one style to establish a cohesive ‘whole’; there is something deeper common to these tracks that ties them all together. There is a quality to the pieces, a kind of airy, openness that I associate with being outdoors. It’s a distillation of a certain feeling, walking in the woods perhaps, the sun dappling the earth below your feet, a warm breeze on the back of your neck; magical music.

Excerpts from the album. Now available at Experimedia.net.* Max Eilbacher’s Red Anxiety Tracers is the debut album from the multi-talented Baltimore, Maryland stalwart. Eilbacher has performed with various projects such as Matmos, Horse Lords, and the mind-altering underground Needle Gun aktionist unit. Despite years of busy touring and recording, Red Anxiety Tracers is the first vinyl artifact from this young mastermind. Crafted over the course of a year, Tracers is a labyrinth of shapes and sounds which glide through a complex and arcane environment of found sounds and synthesis. An expertly-crafted maze of deja-vu, audio hallucinations, and dislocating atmospherics forms an audio obstacle course for the listener. Complex editing techniques and sound structures recall the works of J.D. Robb or Owl Records-era Tod Dockstader albeit with a radically fresh perspective and educated hindsight. Red Anxiety Tracers exhumes impeccable flow and careful attention to dynamic range, with its surgical placement of sound events challenging the deep listening abilities of its audience. Raw and manic tension overloads are cut with alien float and abstract aether transmissions with a constantly shifting palette of sounds spun from blasted modular electronics, vocoded terrestrial-speak, and glowing mellotron clouds. Eilbacher communicates a strange and beautiful dialect conceived through disciplined compositional structure and an intuitive improvisational style unparalleled in the current landscape. Red Anxiety Tracers breathes new life into modern electronic composition.

Mystiphonic” is the third release from Roland P. Young on EM Records, following “Isophonic Boogie Woogie” [EM1045CD & LP] which was originally released in 1980 and re-issued by EM in 2005, and the 2009 “Istet Serenade” [EM1087CD & LP].
“Mystiphonic” is the fruit of two years of recordings at Young’s Isophonic Sound Laboratory in Brooklyn, “comprovisations” which are more electronic than the previous EM releases, and yet this new CD retains Young’s emotional life-long horn playing, a romance which began in his youth in Kansas City. Also carrying on from previous releases is the all-encompassing warmth and organic/oceanic feeling of Young’s music, a rootedness that has been present since his early exposure to Charlie Parker, on through his San Francisco years and ever forward, linking past, present and future through deep American soil to his world-embracing current music, all united through his “Isophonic” philosophy.
The “Mystiphonic” blend of electronics, percussion and horns is one of subtle beauty, sure to please Young’s fans while attracting new admirers.

Artist: Dissolved
Title Of Album: Surge Of The Lucid
Year Of Release: 28 jan 2013
Label: Daddy Tank
Genre: Ambient, IDM, Experimental, Glitch, Electronic
Quality: MP3
Bitrate: 320 kbps
Total Time: 00:59:37
Total Size: 136 mb

Tracklist:
1.Heart Of The Well 01:59
2.Your Age In Shark Years 04:02

9.On Board The Deuterium Arc 14:57

Dissolved‘s last venture was a shared excursion with Nonima; Paul Daniels’ latest is a solo outing, a little less industrial in nature but still tailored for dance floors. A few tracks are obvious highlights, but the album as a whole is consistently engaging.

By virtue of its unusual juxtapositions, the 10-minute “Forgotten Processes” leaps from the album and runs around the room with its spangles and decals falling off. The track begins with recessed organ and a female spoken word monologue about working in a darkroom. It’s only been a few years since the darkroom career dissolved, a victim of digital processing, but already the thought of developing film in the dark produces a sense of nostalgia. Lisa Stampfli’s vocals recall Sina Hübner of Psychobitch: confident yet wistful, with a touch of defiance. As she speaks of her own undeveloped life and stops wearing her mask, one can sense a growing temporal displacement. Twirling patterns of drums and synth surround her voice like waterspouts. Originality is key; this is likely the first song to include the lyric, “I’m replacing water with silver bromide.”

Of the other dance tracks, “Stickleback Red” is the most effective, due to a 90-second outro that pumps up the drums while eliminating all extraneous sounds. This percussive jam would be well-served by a remix; perhaps it’s time to give Nomina a call again! As for the track title, it may refer to either a fish or an Australian wine, but since it’s an instrumental, few will ask. ”Your Age in Shark Years” adds party banter, IDM textures and a layer of sampled 80s-style vox; “Selmantrasm” is the album’s speed demon at 146 b.p.m..

The finale “On Board the Deuterium Arc” is a risk that pays off, a fifteen-minute track that serves as a musical reflection of the ultraviolet spectrum, the practice of spectroscopy and the danger of looking too closely into the brilliance of discharged light. (As a certain New Jersey artist once wrote, “Mama always told me not to look into the eyes of the sun; but Mama, that’s where the fun is!”) This rotating instrumental never settles on a single pattern for too long, in tune with the natural variances in light gradation. As time passes, it contacts and folds over itself until one is no longer sure where it begins or ends, like a ball of yarn whose ends have been lost. The spell is only broken once, in the middle of the piece, with the spoken words, “Bass. Drums. The D.J.” – rather unnecessary since one would normally be aware of these three things in a club. Such minor indulgences can be forgiven in the service of the beat. (Richard Allen)

Blank & Jones’ deliberately simple dance music dominated the top of Germany’s dance charts during the country’s late-’90s trance explosion. After a chance meeting at the PopKomm music conference, onetime record clerk Piet Blank and Ratinger Hof’s resident DJ Jaspa Jones formed the Blank & Jones production team to make broad trance records of the Aeon, Kai Tracid, DJ Manta, Darude, and Angelic variety. Met with consistent financial success as they laid the groundwork for their full-lengths, Blank & Jones also won the respect of their peers, finding remix work for Fragma, Mauro Picotto, and Moby, as well as getting the chance to use Yello’s Dieter Meier on their second album, 2001’s Nightclubbing. Substance followed in 2002, while 2003 saw them release Relax: Edition One, the first in a series of downtempo chillout albums. Their 2008 effort, The Logic of Pleasure, featured vocals from Vanessa Daou, Claudia Brücken, and New Order’s Bernard Sumner, and was followed in 2009 by Blank & Jones Presents So 80’s, a mix of the duo’s favorite ’80s tracks. A seventh edition in the Relax series landed in 2012.

Title Of Album: Light That Comes, Light That Goes

Bitrate: 320 kbps
Total Time: 00:39:02
Total Size: 97 mb

One of two new releases from Brian Pyle (the other being ‘Interval Signals’), Light That Comes is a rich exploration of Ensemble Economique’s range and power. With a palpable sense of the sublime throughout, the listener is guided through drones like the pillars and buttresses of a cathedral for a sombre new religion, into the sounds of the ocean (somehow elegiac), flute tones springing up in the fog like gravestones, and fallen kosmische. These are followed by the wonderfully odd ‘As the Train Leaves Tonight,’ a version of Spandau Ballet’s ‘True’ produced from within the shadow universe, featuring crashing waves of reverb, staccato chords and tommy-gun drums. Similarly, ‘Radiate Through Me’ is a shoegazy torch song of sorts, sluggishly drifting along on beams of spectacular light. The brilliantly unique continuum between drone and pop traversed here makes ‘Light That Comes’ a key listen.

Tracklist:
1. If You Need Help [12:39]
2. Light That Comes, Light That Goes [3:28]
3. Ksenia [8:15]
4. Glass on the Horizon [4:56]
5. As the Train Leaves Tonight [4:05]
