Martin Wheeler used to make the sweetest electro known to man (or machine), before focusing on video game design (full disclosure: this writer is a fan of his ‘Go Robot’ game). However, it appears that Vector Lovers is never too far from Wheeler’s heart and on iPhonica he proves to be a master of electronic melody and harmony. Granted, the mood, particularly in the second half of the album is introspective, especially on the gloomy “Let’s Go Home” and the serene “Final Wish”, but iPhonica also shows that Wheeler is adept at making acid trax (“Kongaroid”); sensuous ambience (“Stargazing”) and as “On Kastanienallee” so beautifully demonstrates, wide-eyed electro.

Beyond utopia. Two years since introducing the world to his utopia of sound in his previous album, “Heartstrings”; Serph, the wizard of electronic music has finally completed his new album, one that paints the scenery beyond utopia, a new horizon discovered at the end of daily musical experimentation.

Serph is a unique artist who suddenly appeared onto the music scene, wrapped in a veil of mystery never appearing in live performances. His past two albums recorded phenomenal sales, suddenly making him the darling of electronic music. Despite this success, his creative juices have kept on flowing as proven through his new project Reliq which focuses exclusively on edgier dance music along with the simultaneous release of the Serph Christmas mini album. The new album, “el esperanka” is Serph’s fourth album, the first album in two years since announcing his third album “Heartstrings” in spring 2011.

A spectrum of musical elements including jazz, techno, classical, film music, and progressive rock are incorporated together to create beautiful melody and harmony; unfolding organically one after the other in a single track. This original style which has become Serph’s signature style shines brighter in this album, bringing greater depth and fantasy to his dreamy fairytale world. The result is an ever-free, bright and positive album which gives audiences a small peek into yet another side of Serph’ untypical world waiting to be discovered.

The album title, “el esperanka” is a term coined from “esperanca”, Spanish for “hope.” This is Serph’s story of “new hope” beyond utopia. Album “el esperanka” is a soundtrack that stirs imaginations, an album dedicated to the dreamers in this world.

Nahuatl Sound System is the portal of expression which travels through sound frequencies in a form of energy matrix to sum ONE. This sound breaks the time and space barrier, creating an escape route to different soundscapes, dimensions and frequencies.

Nahuatl Sound System represents the anger and force that has emerged through the struggle of people not only from today but from yesterday and tomorrow in terms of a conscious sound revolution. This sound channels Aztec energy through today’s musical technology.

Nahuatl Sound System means unity, love, revolution and the force against the establishment. This original and special sound, breaks fear in every way and takes you hand by hand on a journey to your roots.

Undermathic – Indistinct Face

Label: Tympanik Audio
Catalog#: TA072
Release date: 19-02-2013
Source: WEB, Album
Format: MP3
Quality: 320 kbps
Size: 134 mb
Genre: Electronic
Style: IDM, Ambient, Industrial, Electronic

Tracklist:
01 – Still On The Border
02 – Three Different Worlds

05 – Our Desires
06 – Stones
07 – Colorize

09 – I Will Show You These Places
10 – When
11 – Distinct Premonition

Polish composer Maciej Paszkiewicz returns with Undermathic for the release of his third studio album ‘Indistinct Face’ on Tympanik Audio. With his previous works ‘Return To Childhood’ (2008) and ’10:10PM’ (2010) receiving extensive critical praise for their lush atmospheres, seductive melodies, accomplished beatworks, and stunning production, ‘Indistinct Face’ moves Undermathic’s signature sound forward to present his most important work to date.

Bold and original in its own right, ‘Indistinct Face’ flows with maturity and refinement, imparting a kaleidoscope of sounds that saturate the listener’s subconscious. Not to be interpreted as mere electronic music, but rather organic music, constructed from hundreds of strange, warm and living sounds. Like a rush of blood to the head, Undermathic unleashes epic waves of lush strings and cordial atmospheres accentuated by seductive melodies and a carefully-balanced tapestry of beats. A daring and significant album that virtually comes alive from the very start and embraces the listener with a contrast of taut yet introspective cinematic soundscapes that stimulate the mind’s eye.

Emotionally-charged and undeniably captivating, Undermathic’s new album ‘Indistinct Face’ is a challenging and memorable aural experience with rewarding results.

Edition of 300. Spot-gloss gatefold jacket with double wide spine. Includes download code redeemable for the 12-track Volume. 2** Celebrating 20 years of influential operations, Mike Paradinas marks Planet Mu’s 300th release with a collection of unheard µ-Ziq dating to the early ’90s. This was arguably his most cherished era of productions, hailing from a time when he, alongside the ranks of The Black Dog, AFX, and Autechre, among others, were realigning ambient techno and electronica along new, proggier vectors equally inspired by Hip Hop, jungle and new age composition. Compiled by his wife and partner in Heterotic, Lara Rix-Martin, ‘Somerset Avenue Tracks (1992-1995)’ traverses 12 tracks taking in Mike’s signature, sweet-toothed melodies on the Roedelius-like ‘Air’ and the gorgeous P.L.U.R techno orchestrations of ‘Vinxel’, or to a bluer degree in the Suzanne Ciani-esque ‘Pollux’, beside the ‘Tango & Vectif’-era synths of ‘Diala’, contrasting with the hyper cut-up breakbeats of ‘Airto’ from ’95, and finishing at two poignant moments from his ’92 Peel Session, ‘Johnson’s Q-Fab’ and ‘Green Lanes’. It’s a lovely dose of niceness for all the nostalgia-bots…

*Excerpts from the album. Now available from Experimedia.net.* *CD version in deluxe digipack with 24 page booklet.* As always, the first Matmos album in five years doesn’t begin with the music itself. It starts with an specific approach, a conceptual framework, and a bold endeavor. Each of the nine tracks that comprise “The Marriage of True Minds” began with Matmos attempting to communicate the methods of their new album to test subjects who were deprived of both sight and sound. It’s a take on the Ganzfeld experiment, of which the Baltimore duo’s last EP was named after. The inspirations proved to be wildly singular: some came in the form of a hummed vocal fragment that was looped and warped, others in a visual depiction that intimated a musical structure to follow.

In translating these sources to song, “Marriage” is often playful and exuberant, exaggerating a voice snippet into an electronic symphony (“Very Large Green Triangles”) or matching what sounds like a Latin marching band with sirens and fire engines (“Mental Radio”). So much sonic material is placed into the album that highlights abound, but “Tunnel” may be Matmos’ crowning achievement on this double LP. The track, which features fellow Baltimore mainstay Dan Deacon, begins with stray scratches of raw guitar that is soon matched by a booming techno beat worthy of a night club dancefloor. “Tunnel” expertly accelerates and slows the swarm of hyperactive sound with a unique swagger until it closes unexpectedly in a fit of coughing.

Yet, for a pop album as varied as “Marriage,” the album is entirely listenable. The styles – ranging from the skittering pulse of tap dancing to the blackened churn of doom metal – are of course eccentric, but they are layered into tight, discernible shapes that are both meticulous and adventurous in a way that electronic pop rarely is. – Ryan Potts, Experimedia

Expanding upon the ambitious premise of their recently released The Ganzfeld EP, Baltimore-based electronic duo Matmos (Drew Daniel and M.C. Schmidt) are now releasing their first new full-length album in five years : The Marriage of True Minds.

Matmos are known for making toe-tapping rhythmic pop out of odd and unusual sound sources. They have always worn genre loosely, but it’s safe to say that this is the first electronic album to start with tap dancing and end with doom metal, and the only album on which members of Nautical Almanac and the Arditti String Quartet rub shoulders. Comprising stomping techno, eerie synth jams, musique concrete, Latin rhythms, and Ethiopian music, at once at home in the academy, the art gallery, the nightclub and the noise warehouse, the dizzyingly diverse assemblage which is “The Marriage of True Minds” is driven by a tightly unified conceptual agenda: telepathy.

For the past four years the band have been conducting parapsychological experiments based upon the classic Ganzfeld (“total field”) experiment, but with a twist: instead of sending and receiving simple graphic patterns, test subjects were put into a state of sensory deprivation by covering their eyes and listening to white noise on headphones, and then Matmos member Drew Daniel attempted to transmit “the concept of the new Matmos record” directly into their minds. During videotaped psychic experiments conducted at home in Baltimore and at Oxford University, test subjects were asked to describe out loud anything they saw or heard within their minds as Drew attempted transmission. The resulting transcripts became poetic and conceptual scores used by Matmos to generate the nine songs on this album. If a subject hummed something, that became a melody; passing visual images suggested arrangement ideas, instruments, or raw materials for a collage; if a subject described an action, then the band members had to act out that out and make music out of the noises generated in the process of the re-enactment. “The Marriage of True Minds” boasts a promiscuous cast of guest musicians, an array of sonic tactics, and a broad swathe of musical styles, but this diversity is joined together with a common purpose: the translation of this archive of psychic experiments into a delirious hybrid of conceptual noise and electronic pop.

After opening ripples of piano and percussion, the voice of Carly Ptak (Nautical Almanac) whispers lyrics that announce the theme of the album as a whole: “Telepathy / We want to know . . .” The song is a deconstructed cover of “You”, originally written by Leslie Weiner and Holger Hiller (of post-punk legends Palais Schaumberg). A sultry and cryptic ode to the mystery of interpersonal communication, “You” exhibits the odd sound design which is a Matmos trademark: the bassline is an amplified rubber band played by Jason Willett (Half Japanese), and the spiky beats are actually the manipulated sound of a tap dancer shuffling on a stone floor. Joining chamber music to tech-house, “You” acts as a primer for the album as a whole that follows it: a promiscuous cast of musicians from incongruous backgrounds all go under the digital editing knife as they are chopped into tight, surprisingly listenable songs which—for the first time in Matmos’ work- prominently feature vocalists and voices.

Already featured on the “Ganzfeld EP”, “Very Large Green Triangles” is an attention-grabbing slice of Gothic pop that overlays a psychedelic vision of geometrical apocalypse onto a stomping Baltimore club beat. The album version is longer and stranger than the EP version, with a free improv honky tonk piano solo preceding the beat drop. The song is based upon a psychic session with the oddball crooner Ed Schrader (Ed Schrader’s Music Beat), who was convinced to re-sing snippets of his own psychic session to build the song’s lyrical and conceptual hook (the song also boasts a lavish animated video which was much celebrated on the blogosphere).

As the album progresses, each song takes a different transcript as a musical launchpad. “Mental Radio” synchs jubilant Latin percussion onto the jostling and sloshing of water in a bucket, only to collapse into near silence until the ringing of a triangle cues an eruption of boisterous free jazz horns, which are joined by fire engines and a berserk synth invasion. Mirroring the free associative switchbacks within a particularly fevered psychic session, “Ross Transcript” is an exercise in the band’s most beloved musical form, musique-concrete, complete with jarring edits of heavily manipulated voices, cut-up plunderphonic noises, and field recordings. Blowing hot and cold, “Teen Paranormal Romance” drizzles melancholic synths onto booming bass-jeep drops and a gnarled modular bassline played by longtime Matmos collaborator Jay Lesser. Spiked with groans and mutters from noise bro DJ Dog Dick and eerie backing vocals by Dominque Leone, the song is at once fast and slow, at once heart-on-sleeve and ludicrous, not unlike the genre of popular occult fiction for which it is named. (It’s based on DJ Dog Dick’s wordless psychic session.)

A patchwork from multiple sessions, “Tunnel” begins with throat singing from Dan Deacon, whose growls and groans give birth to a relentless techno stomp on which Owen Gardner (from up and coming Baltimore band Horse Lords) plays manic, scrabbling Bo Diddley-esque guitar figures. After breaking down for the whispered delivery of one of the more cryptic utterances from the psychic archive (“there a light at the end of the tunnel . . . but it isn’t daylight”), handclaps and tambourines tighten the groove, which climaxes in a vertiginous synth solo, before the whole thing falls apart in a fit of coughing (Sabbath’s “Sweet Leaf” in reverse?).

“In Search of a Lost Faculty” offers the most dramatic, even disturbing evidence for the pronounced similarity of many of the experimental sessions: over and over, whether male or female, British or American, young or old, the psychic test subjects saw, heard or imagined the presence of triangles. The song gathers every reference to triangles experienced throughout four years of experimentation into a sonic archive of collective imagination, punctuating spoken testimonies about this recurring figure with ominous organ, timpani, and violin played by Ashot Sarkissjan of the Arditti String Quartet. “Faculty” ends with a celestial cloud of vocals by Angel Deradoorian of the Dirty Projects and Clodagh Simonds of Fovea Hex, amid processed swirls of bagpipe. Is this song evidence for the reality of telepathy? Is this song evidence that triangles were kind of trendy four years ago? Listen and judge for yourself.

Based upon the transcript of the psychic session of modular guru Keith Fullerton Whitman, “Aetheric Vehicle” is the last transcript-specific song on the album, and offers a hazy, funky variant on the kind of melodies found in Ethiopian music. Over a cascade of meandering synth played by M. C. Schmidt and intricate rhythms made out of the sampled sounds of Chinese checkers and handcuffs, a kind of mutant hybrid of African music and R & B crystallizes. This heady mix is capped with the smoky, wordless wails and moans of Jenn Wasner (Wye Oak, Flock of Dimes), who ends the song in an aviary of whistling, rattles and bells.

Ending with another cover which returns us full circle to the beginning of the record, Matmos save their wildest provocation for last: a polyglot deconstruction of The Buzzcock’s “E.S.P,” which gearshifts across multiple genres over eight minutes, testing the limits of how different styles and moods can flow and fold into each other. “Do you believe in E.S.P.? / I do and I’m trying to get through to you” growls Gerry Mak of Brooklyn experimental doom metal band Bloody Panda in a withering Cookie Monster voice. Heavy doom metal riffs play punk chords at a funereal crawl, until military snare rolls pick the pace up to a black metal blur (played by members of Baltimore occult crust band Pleasure Wizard). This gives way to a shimmering, sunny interlude of cyclic guitar and synth figures that recalls the Matmos of “The Civil War” and “The West” until, audaciously, a drum roll hits and the whole band erupts into something which has always been pretty much unthinkable in Matmos’ work: full on, no apologies riff rock. Connecting the latent family resemblance between surf rock and black metal, the Buzzcocks song plays out until, for the first time in twenty years as a band, M. C. Schmidt and Drew Daniel sing together, harmonizing the words “If you’re picking up on me, then you’ll know just what to do . . .” Abruptly switching off this romantic closure (Daniel and Schmidt are a couple who recently celebrated their 20th anniversary), the song cuts to dead silence as Schmidt delivers the final phrase of the record: “So . . . think.” It’s an emotionally naked and risky ending to one of the strangest records you will hear this year, and a fittingly open-ended conclusion to a sonic experiment in the possibility of purely mental connection.

The album was recorded and mixed at home in Baltimore and at Snow Ghost Studio in Montana, and was mastered in San Francisco by Thomas DiMuzio. Designed by Rex Ray, the album’s packaging presents in the liner notes the complete texts of the psychic transcripts which generated each individual song, along with photographs that document the Ganzfeld sessions. The vinyl version of the release also contains a bonus locked groove of white noise so that the home listener can put on the eye-coverings and headphones which accompanied the deluxe edition of “The Ganzfeld EP” and complete the re-enactment of the experimental conditions that created the songs. The result is an artifact which is both an art object, a scientific report, a practical joke and a daring pop record.

Lusine – The Waiting Room

Lusine - The Waiting Room

Label: Ghostly International
Catalog#: GI-172

Seattle-based producer Jeff McIlwain’s work has long inhabited the fertile border zone between electronic pop and experimental electronic music — it’s a place that’s home to music that has both a brain and a heart, and McIlwain’s been exploring its boundaries for the best part of a decade now.

The Waiting Room is his third full-length release for Ghostly International under the moniker Lusine, and his first album since 2009’s A Certain Distance. As with all McIlwain’s work as Lusine, this is a record that’s characterized by both diversity and coherency. Its tracks traverse a variety of sonic landscapes, from the widescreen atmospherics of appropriately-titled opening track “Panoramic” through the digital soul arrangement of Electronic’s “Get the Message” and the club-friendly bounce of “First Call” to the slow-building Detroit-inflected closer “February”.

But for all The Waiting Room’s eclecticism, it’s also notable that it plays out as a coherent whole, with McIlwain’s deft production creating the sense of a single, logical journey — an album, rather than a simple collection of tracks. It also continues the excursions into vocal-led tracks that characterized A Certain Distance — exactly half of The Waiting Room’s ten tracks employ vocalists, most notably the aforementioned “Get the Message,” wherein guest vocalist and wife Sarah McIlwain makes Bernard Sumner’s words her own: “I don’t know where to begin / Living in sin,” she sings calmly, “How can you talk? / Look where you’ve been.”

As a whole, this is an album that’s both cerebral and visceral, a record that’s both rewarding of a serious headphone session and also warm and melodic enough to make listening as engaging in an emotional sense as it is in an intellectual one. Many artists flirt with these two extremities of electronic music; few tie them together as well as McIlwain does.

Tracklist:
1. Panoramic
2. Get The Message
3. Lucky
4. On Telegraph
5. Another Tomorrow
6. Without A Plan
7. First Call
8. By This Sound
9. Stratus
10. February

The album is based on a theatre production of Tolstoy’s War and Peace by German director Sebastian Hartmann. Hartmann asked the producer, real name Sascha Ring, to contribute to the project commissioned by German arts festival Ruhrfestspiele in Recklinghausen. After agreeing to take on the album, Ring spent a month in an abandoned factory building rehearsing with a 30-piece ensemble. Apparat live band members Philipp Timm and Christoph Hartmann were also involved in the production. Although the music wasn’t initially intended for a proper release, Ring, Hartmann and Timm took the album into the studio after the final performance. Ring said: “In the studio the material got another twist, became a real piece of music. I took the recordings with me, wherever I was—at home, at a hotel room, in an airplane, and straightened it up.”

The most recent Apparat LP was 2011’s The Devil’s Walk, also released on Mute, the venerable UK label helmed by Daniel Miller. Ring revealed details of the new album today on his Facebook page. He said: “It’s the first record ever that didn’t hurt at some point. It’s full of imperfection because it was made by humans.” He goes on to describe the record as “a bit of a weird record with not many beats and lots of drones.”
