Stunningly bubbly electronic pop would be the best way to describe this joyful album. From the Mental Health Food Store Bandcamp site: “In early February, while developing and learning to operate this mysterious new modular synthesizer “ecosystem” — these tracks engendered themselves. They are mainly improvised, and since modular synths Continue Reading

Lara Sarkissian – Remnants
From Lara Sarkissian’s Bandcamp site: “Born and raised in San Francisco and currently based in Los Angeles, Sarkissian has developed her unique approach to composition over years of relentless experimentation across various disciplines.

Various Artists – Spotted Peccary Records: 33 – Free Ambient Electronic Sampler
From the label’s Bandcamp site: “Spotted Peccary Music is an independent record label with a focus on deep, vast and immersive soundscapes.

Ton Q – ROOTs
This release out of Mongolia perked up my ears a bit this morning. Ton Q hail from Ulaanbaatar, the country’s capital, and the group blends a minimalistic dub techno with elements of Mongolian traditional music. Not a bad listen at all.
picnic – picnic
I am going to assume that picnic hails from Australia, as this is where their record label, Dais Art, is based. The album has a cinematic, drone-laden feel, but rather than being foreboding, it’s a very warm-sounding album. Imagine music to swim in warm waters to. Quite pleasant!
Oksana Linde – Travesías

These compositions belong to the same creative period as the works included in her Continue Reading
Various Artists – Murder tbs: Never Enough
From the Murder tbs Bandcamp site, this compilation serves as a good introduction to hard techno and post-Industrial dance music out of Tbilisi, Georgia, which looks to be my new home in the not-terribly-distant future: “After five years of existence, we are starting a new chapter with our most extensive Continue Reading
OBUKHOVAUDIO – Sphärenlicht
Even down to the cover art (which looked like it would have been a fine one for a 1970’s period Klaus Schulze), it seems Obukhovaudio (a.k.a. Alexander Obukhov) has a knack for making an album that encapsulates the genre of electronic music, the Berlin School, that he loves dearly. Fine Continue Reading
Maria Teriaeva – Sayan – Savoie
“Maria Teriaeva is a Siberian-born, Paris-based musician and composer. She uses the Buchla modular synthesizer as a framework for her music combining it with acoustic instruments and voice,” so says her bio on Bandcamp. She has become quite a revelation to me, as her music is some of the must Continue Reading
Rodney Orpheus – Sun God
Rodney Orpheus is a name that I had long forgotten about, but I’m more than pleased to hear what he is up to! Decades ago, he fronted one of the most legendary EBM bands, the Cassandra Complex out of Belgium. They were pure hard dance music, and by the 1990’s, Continue Reading
