Various - DIE WELT IST KLANG: A Tribute To PETE NAMLOOK (CD7)

https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2015/05/various-die-welt-ist-klang-tribute-to_15.html

The funniest thing about me resharing these old reviews ten years to the date of their publication: whatever suspense there may have been in waiting for the last couple discs of this box-set is moot, curious readers more than able to skip ahead if they so choose. Unless you're one of those 'relive it as it happened' sorts.

Still with me on this? Because Lord knows I put in the effort back when. Does make me wonder if anyone's attempted to tackle the whole box-set in a similar fashion since. It's only been a decade, y'know.

This is the disc that features Biosphere, Oliver Lieb, and Pascal F.E.O.S. And somehow, they *weren't* the best tracks on it!

It's funny looking back on this, seeing a number of names then new to me, knowing how much I'd hear of them in the following decade.

For my multi-genre musicians out there, do you think it makes sense to create alternate artist names for projects in different genres? I find myself toying with the idea since I'm starting to think about other projects I want to do now that Facets is out there...

Speaking of, if you haven't already, you should go check out Facets! Crispy ambient techno for your earholes:

SCUBA - Claustrophobia

https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2015/05/scuba-claustrophobia.html

A record that, while undoubtedly helped push Mr. Rose to his highest commercial highs, also kinda' sent him into a burn-out on the production front. It'd be some eight years before he found his spark again. In the meanwhile, podcasting!

#ElectronicMusic #Techno #TechHouse #AmbientTechno

listening to a lot of DjRUM and his experiments in blending contemporary classical with dance music got me thinking about Sebastian Mullaert who does similar from a more ambient techno/house perspective but I've not seen get talked about as much

really liking this debut from Paul Griffin, and very glad he's finally committed to putting some stuff on bandcamp.
would strongly recommend also checking out his soundcloud, which is where the bulk of his work is, a ton of very interesting stuff on there

returned to this for the first time in a while lately, I think it really shows the opposite extreme ends of his sound in a great way, it has some of the most noisy and chaotic but also some of the most gentle and melodic tracks in his back catalogue

Well my flight's been (lightly) delayed, so I have a moment to say thanks to everyone who picked up my EP, or even just gave it a listen this #BandcampFriday ! Even more than the sales, I really appreciate how mutually supportive the music community is here, and it has really made all the work of putting together an album feel rewarding.

Today's the day! My new EP "Facets" is officially out in the world 🥳

This was a really fun project, and one that taught me a *lot* along the way. I'm not much for genres, but I've settled on #ambientTechno as the closest thing I can think of. Or #bonkwave ? #notBonkwave ? I can't really tell which is more apt, so judge for yourself.

Various - Renaissance: The Masters Series Part 15 - JAMES ZABIELA

Clearly I was intrigued enough by another Masters set from Mr. Zabs to spring for it, so don't go claiming I didn't give it a chance.

Adventsong – Verdancy

Warm, relaxed electronica that calls back to some of the classics to weave an inviting, bucolic musical tapestry.

COSMIC REPLICANT - Mission Infinity

https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2015/04/cosmic-replicant-mission-infinity.html

I namedrop HIA in this review, hearing similarities to the old ambient dub bleep style and all. At the time, I wasn't aware that style had been burbling in the perifery for some time, though would soon learn of it diving into Lee Norris' various projects.

Meanwhile, Cosmic Replicant became another fav', and was stunned to discover just how diverse he could get.

Ordos Mk.0 - Echoes

"This four track EP is an experiment in various sounds routed in dub techno but also taking influence from ambient techno & downtempo."
