juantrip - balmy under the stormy
(fcom, 1999)
Tracing
the musical roots of French Juantrip aren't that hard. His debut album
is overflowed with an obvious passion for classic acts like Pink Floyd,
The Beatles, David Bowie and other late 60's and early 70's
psychedelica. Being brought up in a hippie commune this passion of
course includes a very liberal attitude towards drug-taking.
The
album's kind of naive and rather blunt lyrics, similar to those of
Swedish national-hippie Di Leva, have never really been that
fascinating to me. It's just detached beyond relevance. The electronics
involved are, in a funny way, charmingly out-dated. Not retro in any
usual sense, but at the same time everything but contemporary. Or to
put it another way: You get more of early 90's Shamen and less of late
90's advanced post-electronic wizardry.
calm - moonage electric ensemble
(1999)
1969
born japanese producer Calm is today worldwidely known for his
productions remixes on Compost, Ubiquity, Yellow or DIY. This is his
new album which is all together deeper & more aggressive than the
former opus (Moonage Electric Ensemble). A truly stunning collection of
future sounds, allowing you imagination to lose itself. Spiritual
sounds enlighting his knowledge of percussions, alongside deep bass
lines & ambient loops. Deep accoustic Electronica. Highly
Recommended!
