Aleko – Pure Malevolence
I like me some electronic music from time to time. It works like a refreshing sonic earwash when the guitars get tiresome. The thing about electronic music, however, is the difficulty in trying to describe it. So often there are […]
Redmalm – The Bravest Person I Know
These shards of electronic pulses are obscure I guess and I must apologise for hoisting them upon you on a day of rest but I’m too enraptured to desist. Redmalm is one David Redmalm from Uppsala in Sweden who has […]
Channel One – These Roads
If one was into shoddy category’s for the forthcoming HWCH showcase you could easily lump this lot in with the interesting yet slightly headache inducing Twinkranes and the similarly tailored side project inspired Neosupervital. Channel One aren’t always noisy but […]
Booka Shade – In White Rooms
Oh I do like me some electronic music from time to time. Goes back to the days when Underworld and Orbital could take your brain to another dimension. Booka Shade are due to perform in Ireland at the Trinity Ball […]
Northstation – The Long Walk Home
Wow, what is this and who is Steve Fanagan (and why did he drop an L?)? A record producer it seems with a penchant for recording electronic albums of his own. Dublin is starting to get an electronic foothold with […]
Kopernik – Trip To Nowhere
If you have a soft spot for Jean Michel Jarre then you are gonna love this. I am aware of Jean Michel Jarre and Mike Oldfield through no fault of my own. That is what some parents would call a […]
Mental Cube – Q
As inventive as the gadget king of the same name ‘Q’ came courtesy of one of Future Sound of London’s many guises Mental Cube. Given its age it’s remarkable that ‘Q’ doesn’t exist purely as a period piece. The tune […]
Timo Maas – O.C.B.
Despite falling head over for euphoric trance towards the end of the last century its funny how I rarely return to the countless compilations I picked up. A couple of things still stand out in my memory though. Art of […]
The Field – Over The Ice
To round off this hat-trick of deepest electronica here is Sweden’s latest addition to the digital revolution. The Field (Axel Willner, who has his hand in other ambient projects such as Lars Blek, Cordouan and porte) has created a hypnotic […]
Lemon Jelly – The Shouty Track
By their third album it seemed as if Lemon Jelly had somehow lost the knack to write electronic wonderments to calm the soul. Artificial souls with addictive personalities were their stock in trade but by ’64 – ’95 the well […]
8 Ball – The Big Blue
8 Ball are one of the more interesting acts to emerge from Dublin in recent times. Their stage shows askew the standard indie prototype in favour of an updated Altern8 psycho’s in white masks routine among others. Bursting with 7 […]
El Guincho – Fata Morgana
And you thought Dan Deacon was where it was at for exhilaratingly odd electronic sorts. Time to revise that notion I’m afraid. I don’t what this is. I don’t know how to classify it. Is it being wilfully obscure or […]
