It’s been a while since we heard anything new from Andrew Johnson, former member of Hood and The Remote Viewer. Back In the days when he used to make music with Craig Tattersall we’d sometimes get to hear tapes of unreleased recordings the pair had made and wonder why the picky old bastard was so unwilling to release any of it – it was just so good. So, we’re pretty excited that just as we thought he’d more or less stopped working on music altogether he’s re-emerged with a new project and a whole new album, released under the “A New Line (Related) moniker. Made from what sounds like a rudimentary setup, the sound here is warm and brittle, yet dynamic and even (dare we say it) heavy. We always loved The Remote Viewer for finding delicate balance between fragile production underpinned by super dense bass weight (something that Johnson himself claims to hate) – and on the evidence of these tracks here he continues to master the fine art of keeping those two elements intact. The 11 tracks here veer from the shimmering drone of “People Kissed Underneath Me” to the out-and-out punchy percussive Boogie House of “The Slow Sound of Your Life”, dropping in on nicely swung Garage offcuts with “Late Period (Insert Band)” and even a final dose of Hood-style vocal bliss on album closer “Great Palaces” – making for one of the most surprising and cockle-warming albums we’ve had in for a while, and a real treat whether or not you’ve encountered any of Johnson’s music before. Highly Recommended.

Title Of Album: Halfslaap II / Stiltetonen
Year Of Release: 14 feb 2014
Label: Chiheihatakeyama
Genre: Ambient, Drone
Quality: MP3
Bitrate: 320 kbps
Total Time: 00:55:3
Total Size: 120 mb

Tracklist:
01. Halfslaap II [35:08]
02. Stiltetonen [20:05]

Like Halfslaap (released on a 3-inch by Standard Form in 2010), Halfslaap II is a very restrained, meditative piece with a slow and subtle development that seems to play tricks with the notion of time. The hypnotic quality of Halfslaap II comes from two simple violin phrases with are almost identical, but different in length, causing them to overlap at different points each time. In the course of 35 minutes, these floating violin tones are pulling the listener into some sort of dreamstate.
The violin on Halfslaap II is played by Anne Bakker, with whom Rutger worked before on the pieces Koploop (2007) and Fabriek Bakker Fabriek (2008).

Stiltetonen (album version) is a continuation of sound piece that was composed to play continuously in a small alley in Amsterdam. As part of the project Tussen-ruimte (‘Between Space’), the looped, minimalistic piano melody transformed the space to an oasis of comtemplative rest in the midst of the busy city center. With it’s spatious pace, the sounds of the city became an integral part of the composition. For this album version, the piano loop forms the base for a more set composition, complimented with extra layers of audio to create an equally immersive home listening experience.

Sound alchemist Dosh’s albums are generally seamless constructions of fluidly moving swatches of unexpectedly complementary sounds, with frenetic drumming stitched into the lining of beds of playful synths and surprisingly catchy melodies that teeter between quirky and sublime. Keen on collaboration, Dosh often brings other players and vocalists into his webs of sound, extracting the best of what they have to offer to dot his clever tracks with different perspectives. With Milk Money, Dosh’s process seems particularly in focus, and though he can typically get a little busy, there’s a new sense of calm at the core of these tunes. Opening with “We Are the Worst,” Milk Money seems built primarily on a foundation of colorful keyboard sounds, making room for passages of clattering drums and chopped up vocal samples. Throughout the album, the compositions have a driving sense of wonder, like the most optimistic Phillip Glass pieces; they’re even more in line with the child-like wonderment of Nobukazu Takemura. The chiming bell sounds and swooning electronic pads of “Kisses” are propelled by a sturdy beat, finding a territory of happy, hazy nostalgic memories not unlike the best work of contemporaries like Shigeto or Four Tet. The most curious piece on the album and one of its most successful, is the 25- minute album closer “Legos (For Terry).” This epic closing note was originally commissioned for a live performance with Wilco’s Glenn Kotche, and the recorded form wanders in slow motion from a spare electric piano form into a myriad of musical spaces and emotional landscapes. Low in the mix, sputtering multi-tracked drums meet up with more choral vocal fragments, eventually growing into a nightmarish ambient blur on par with Tim Hecker’s fluttering darkness before riding the waves of distortion into a patient repetition of marimba, processed vocals, and swirling electronics. By the end, the dizzying and beautiful piece expresses the fury and unpredictability of life while maintaining a zen-like calm at its core, finding clarity just as easily as it rises to chaos.

“Seven Succulents” is a continuation of my 2009 release “Six Silicates”. Where “Six Silicates” was a nod to crystals, “Seven Succulents” explores the weird and wonderful world of desert plants. The music thrives and grows from a single seed, winding its roots delicately through sand, communicating through beacons of sound sent across vast arid landscapes. The songs are named after plants I have tended and cared for over the years, and the collection exists as an homage to the wonders of nature – a love note for quiet desert foliage.

Seven Succulents features additional musicians Mike Greenfield (of LOTUS) on drums, Samuel Wexler on violin, Timmayo Sheehan on flute, Lynne Watts on vocals, and “The We’re Home Family Drum Brigade” crammed in my living room making a whole lot of noise.

Artist: Koenraad Ecker
Title Of Album: Ill Fares the Land
Year Of Release: 17 feb 2014
Label: Digitalis / DigiV063
Genre: Ambient, Experimental
Quality: MP3
Bitrate: 320 kbps
Total Time: 00:40:23
Total Size: 94 mb

Tracklist:
1. Koenraad Ecker – Oran (Part 1) [09:27]
2. Koenraad Ecker – Oran (Part 2) [04:41]
3. Koenraad Ecker – Kurtz [07:33]
4. Koenraad Ecker – One-Eye [07:09]
5. Koenraad Ecker – Decline [02:09]
6. Koenraad Ecker – Stuffed Men [09:22]

**Digitalis debut from Koenraad Ecker, one half of Opal Tapes’ Lumisokea, highly recommended if you’re into Vainio, Joachim Nordwall, The Haxan Cloak. Initial copies on transparent red wax** Belgium’s Koenraad Ecker swiftly follows his ‘Apophenia’ LP as part of the Lumisokea duo for Opal Tapes with a personalised invitation to his shadowy solo zones for Digitalis. Inhabiting space between slow techno and electro-acoustic dimensions, ‘Ill Fares the Land’ surveys similar soundscapes to Mika Vainio and Joachim Nordwall’s recent ‘Monstrance’ LP and Senking’s drowned space. Bolstered by extruded cello strings and serrated bass pulses, the fourteen-minute, two-part opener ‘Oran’ could be the expansive soundtrack to a brutal art-house horror flick, whilst ‘Kurtz’ and ‘One-Eye’ keen towards a sort of mittel European chamber-doom making subtle but integral use of resonant harmonics and traces of arcane melody laced with blackened bass. In the album’s most concise and perhaps poignant moment, ‘Decline’ reminds us of The Haxan Cloak or Roly Porter’s ominous portents, and finally ‘Stuffed Men’ closes with a display of quiet/loud elemental might comparable with Emptyset’s best, imbued with extra space courtesy of Rashad Becker’s typically sharp mastering treatment.

A few years ago, Moby (born Richard Melville Hall) decided that it was time for a change so he packed up and moved from his beloved New York to sunny LA. This fresh, new outlook permeates his 11th studio album, Innocents. One day, as the story goes, he was riding around town listening to “Morning Becomes Eclectic” on local radio station KCRW, and he heard a Damien Jurado song come on the air — and the rest is history.

“Originally, ‘Almost Home’ was a fully finished song,” recalls Moby. “But I love Damien’s approach to melody and lyrics so I gave it to him as an instrumental. What he did was much better than anything I’d come up with.”

Tracklist:
01. Almost Home

This is an extremely unique, extremely rare item that we are lucky to have to sell to you while supplies last. Recently Eluvium was commissioned to score a new exhibit by renowned installation artist, Charles Long, for The Austin Contemporary museum. This album is a highly limited artifact from that exhibit, pressed in a numbered edition of 300. Each side of opaque cream-colored vinyl features a single, side-long 20-minute composition by Eluvium. The pieces play on a constant loop during the exhibit on these very records, so this is not just simply a record, it’s a piece of fine art. housed in gorgeous hand-printed metallic gold and royal purple jackets, each copy also includes a matching screen-printed download card and custom envelope. These are too beautiful for words! For more details on the CATALIN exhibit, visit The Austin Contemporary.
