In the beginning of 2002 Kirils Lomunovs a.k.a. Kriipis Tulo completed an album entitled Hommikune Ujuja. The feeling of soaking in warm and soft water in a swimming pool where two young people – a boy and a girl – meet each other runs through all tracks of Hommikune Ujuja. Sympathizing each other at the first sight they fall in love and enjoy each other staying together. Everything takes place here – in the swimming pool where unceasing murmur of the water runs through the romanticism and tenderness of Hommikune Ujuja track and happy-go-lucky time carelessly spent beside the soda pop machine in Päevane Ujuja. Finally, complete dissolution in the water and each other – Ööne Ujuja. Hommikune Ujuja album is the script of the movie that was never filmed. It is a dream… only a beautiful dream.

Petrels – Onkalo

1370542019_cover

Label: denovali
Catalog#: den164
Release date: 14-03-2013
Source: WEB
Format: MP3
Quality: 320 kbps
Size: 167 mb
Genre: Electronic
Style: Ambient, Exprimental

Tracklist:
1. Hinkley Point Balloon Release 04:14

9. Kindertransport 11:15

Onkalo (‘hiding place’) is the name of the spent nuclear fuel repository currently under construction in Finland to house hazardous nuclear waste. It is designed to last a minimum of 100,000 years – a scale of time unimaginable when the oldest surviving man made structures have endured not even a tenth of that time. The human species as we know it is thought to have existed for approximately 100,000 years – is it possible for humankind to build something that will endure a timescale that vast again? And what will be left to uncover it if it does so?

Taking this as a starting point, Petrels second album draws on a fascination with how we deal with what is left over, both physically and mentally. With this thread running through Onkalo, the album also takes inspiration from speculative science, immense time scales, retro-futurism, personal history, and how the post-war optimism of the dawn of the atomic age has come up against a more uncertain vision of the future.

Tracklist:
1. tapeOTO (31:10)

“On the occasion of thinking about someone else one takes into account the other’s likes and dislikes, as far as one can know anything about anyone else. These get folded into one’s own likes and dislikes and results in more or less a collaboration between the ideas, depending on how much one can put oneself in the place of the other.
This piece was created for the wedding of two friends, so it holds the idea of continuation as well as hope, love, prosperity and growth.
Tape refers to magnetic tape that used to hold sound (still does), and the external invention that holds things together.”

Gold Panda – Half Of Where You Live

Catalog#: GI-182
Release date: -04-2013
Source: CD, Album
Format: MP3
Quality: 320 kbps
Size: 112 mb
Genre: Electronic
Style: Experimental, IDM, Downtempo, Hip-Hop, Electronic

1. Junk City II (06:33)

10. The Most Liveable City (04:31)
11. Reprise (03:27)

“Electronic music producer Derwin Panda developed his sound in his hometown of Chelmsford, Essex, as he worked day jobs in record shops and adult bookstores while making music in his studio at night. The resulting tracks that comprised his breakout 2010 debut, Lucky Shiner, rejiggered hip-hop’s boom-tick with exotic timbres, vibrant keyboard hues and minced vocal snippets — redolent of Four Tet, if slightly more caffeinated.

In the three years between his debut and his latest album, Half of Where You Live, Gold Panda seems to have gotten out of the house and turned into a world-beater, with the album acting as a travelogue of sorts; it name-checks the small Japanese island of Enoshima in one song and the British village of Flinton in another. Stemming from time Panda spent traveling through South America, “Brazil” features a tocking woodblock alongside harps, canned handclaps and a sampled voice uttering that country’s name, the track growing in warmth and light as it whirs along. “The Most Liveable City” (which as of 2012 was Melbourne, Australia) balances field recordings of bird calls with a gorgeous synth melody and a skittering snare pattern that evokes Aphex Twin at his most hyperkinetic.

Gold Panda is most evocative in “My Father in Hong Kong 1961.” Electronically rendered exotica as viewed through the prism of Ryuichi Sakamoto, the song features stately metallophone tones that cast a glow and evoke a sense of nostalgia for a bygone place and time. It’s well worth the trip.”

‘Flowers Of Destruction’ is the official Debut Album of Felix K. Record Release Date is 04.05.2013.

Some things are created without any particular purpose, some things just happen. According to Felix K, his 15 track debut album ‘Flowers of Destruction’ is just such a thing. Maybe this also explains his decision to only use numerical titles, which emphasizes on the literal level what becomes obvious when listening to the tracks behind the numbers. This album is a coherent whole, indeed each track has a distinct vibe of its own, but when taken together they form a space of transformation where various moods, sounds and rhythms blend harmoniously into each other. The album unfolds its acoustic beauty because it simply avoids posing ever-so obvious imperatives to impress, somehow like nature slowly reclaiming the urban concrete jungles of a post-industrialist dystopia.

‘Flowers of Destruction’ can be located in a musical universe somewhere between electronica, techno, ambient and 170 bpm. Some of its tracks are driven by Felix’ unique and compelling drum sequencing with lots of sub bass and pushing percussions, whereas others take the time to dive into ambient depths and widths with their dubby drones and mesmerizing melodies. They all make use of contrast and opposing elements that create a fascinating tension, like the destructive force of an explosion in slow motion.

In terms of its physical appearance, the album’s 3×12″ grey vinyl will correspond with the different shades of grey of the full cover artwork. There will be 500 copies released in May on Hidden Hawaii LTD and distributed by Hard Wax. A couple of weeks later, the album will also be released digitally.

Three years ago, Baths dropped his startlingly beautiful debut, Cerulean. Released on Anticon, the record blurred the line between post-modern pop and the LA beat scene with devastating emotional clarity. Its tone was as celestial as its album title, taken from a shade of blue typically used to describe the sky.

Cerulean earned year-end “Best Of” recognition from Pitchfork and The Onion’s A.V. Club and established Chatsworth-raised Will Wiesenfeld as one of the finest young composers (and falsettos) in Los Angeles. His sophomore album, Obsidian finds him emerging as one of the most complete artists of his generation. As you might expect, the name hints at darker overtones. The mood is shimmering and pitch-black, the lovely blood flow has turned into lava.

“I’ve always been inspired by really dark material and from the beginning I knew I wanted the songs to be much darker, both musically and lyrically,” Baths says.

Following the success of his first album, Baths spent much of the next year touring to progressively larger audiences. He also released an ethereal ambient project under the Geotic name. When he returned home in July of 2011 to record his sophomore effort, he was bedridden for months because of an E. Coli bacterial infection, barely able to digest solid food and bereft of creative energy.

Obsidian understandably has these scars etched into its imprint. The first song is called “Worsening,” subsequent cuts include “Ossuary,” “No Past Lives” and “Earth Death.” While the mood is often bleak, it’s never bloated. “Miasma Sky” balances being “swallowed alive by the sky” with a gorgeous piano groove and levitative croon that could detonate a disco club night. The album is unusually cohesive, suffused with heavenly choirs, head-nodding percussion, sexually-charged lyrics, and wry humor.

“The songs and lyrics all came out of a pretty fucked and arduous process of trial and error,” Baths says. ”But I hope people understand that I’m not the depressed, suicidal, and death-obsessed person the record may paint me as being. These are just darker areas that I wanted to explore.”

The areas of exploration include reading and research into the Dark Ages and the black plague, different versions of Hell as spied through Dante’s Inferno, the Bible, and old world illuminated manuscripts and paintings. These noirish fascinations met the virtuosic chops of a 24-year old who has been playing piano for 20 years.

“Anything I found that felt like a unique vision of darker emotions or atmospheres, I tried to absorb,” Baths says. “Being a positive and outgoing guy made it that much more difficult getting into that mindset. It was a matter of tapping into that and returning with songs that felt genuine and somehow from my own personal experience.”

This is the power of Obsidian. It combines universal questions with personal pain. On just his second album, Baths exhibits what only a few artists are capable of: painting in any shade they desire.
