The deaf will not serve in heavy artillery

The deaf will not serve in heavy artillery by Maina   (July 7, 2011)

This third release from Maina, like so many others on this blog, falls into the illuminating category of progressive electronica.  Not that type of electronica that is unlistenable, but rather the type that pushes the concept of what a song ‘has to’ be.  The deaf will not serve in heavy artillery is a convoluted journey through the mind of the producer, tapping into some of the tiniest moments of the sound spectrum and realigning them into beautiful expression.

7 – 1

7 – 1 by Mire Se   (July 17, 2011)

7 – 1 is a small collection of electronic drone tracks that have the club sound to them, but the ambient structure.  Listen for the little things because they are the difference makers in these tracks.  Nothing startles, in fact, Mire Se has crafter something dream-like and perpetual.

White Morning

White Morning by VAN17INO6   (July 26, 2011)

White Morning puts together some of the most satisfying looped melodies heard in chiptune electronica today to construct basic beats similar in aesthetic, but not in beat to some of the early Basic Printer or Victim Cache.

23:54

23:54 by Marvin Thorndyke   (July 21, 2011)

There are soooo many projects without vocals on the internet.  Mostly because people don’t have the courage to get in front of a microphone but that’s not Marvin Thorndyke.  Instrumental, and damn well meant to be, 23:54 is a series of minute long kidney punches that never lack in originality or power.

Sorry Safari

‘Sorry Safari’ by Slow Magic   (July 7, 1977)

Well, I love the title ‘Sorry Safari’ so I clicked on the link, looked at the bandcamp page and hit play.  Normally when I read “chillwave’ as a tag im utterly confused, but this is what I hope the term grows to mean.  On a side note, does anyone know where to download the new Vondelpark?

One Certain Dark

One Certain Dark by Rev Forty   (September 9, 2002)

Rev Forty released this album nine years ago.  At the time, it was probably pretty progressive and should have been compared to the likes of the Postal Service or the Notwist (but far more ominous).

Robot with Wit



by Basic Printer  featuring Ed, Edd and Eddy

Bad Doubts

Bad Doubts by Russia

Russia’s Bad Doubts is courageous.  Pushing rhythm into Four Tet-esque areas is not task for the feeble minded.  The first track is among the most intense, and one of my favorite,  but the entire album is a trip that does not disappoint.

Jellyfish

‘Jellyfish’ by Honey Dagger   (July 1, 2011)

Wonderfully smooth and simple – like a glass of chocolate milk.  Patient like a monk.  Minimal like the movement.

Pure Etherium

Pure Etherium by Jeesh   (December 7, 2011)

An artful set of sampling, dreamy and fleeting.  It’s the kind of music that makes you nod your head too fast and all of a sudden, you have a headache. Funny but brilliant.  The title track is the peak for this golden bedroom drift album.
