Well, as far as I know, "Monster Head Room" by the Ganglians, among the lo-fi/home-made productions of last year, is perhaps the only one truly worthy of real attention.

I like it. Of course, for those who love the more farty garragge, it will be a total flop. But for the others (those who didn't drool profusely at the first cries of the "Keys") it can really sound good, "groooovy & sooo sooulful" (And a notch above "Attack & Release", which I find to be their least enjoyable work!).

However, I didn't understand if the joke is meant to match up with the record. Which is clearly a joke. And I approached it as such, back then. It's just that, like all jokes, on the first go it can be a real "Fiquata", but by the third or fourth round, it starts to smell like rotten fish. Now that it's been more than a year since the first encounter with the fish (ahem, record) "ondivvvago", it has an unspeakable odor in the present (but still present in my folder), and is absolutely not suitable for future listening. ;)

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful... And, strangely (because "Ten Stones" is his most "electric" work, and I can hardly tolerate excessive "acoustic" sounds), the latest "The Threshingfloor" (which perhaps, deep down, has a certain more "eclectic" quality) is even more captivating for me!!!

Soap & Skin Lovetune for Vacuum

YesYes, a Soap Opera that terribly irritates the Skin (and the Balls). A voice that is always loaded and one-dimensional. Texts unnecessarily pretentious. Music that could be deemed sensible if intended for a Viennese audience from the late 1800s. And, above all, a use of electronics that warrants a kick in the ass, absolutely neither supportive nor structural, just thrown in as embellishment at random because it sounds so cool to hear some "glitch" amid floral displays of strings, winds, piano, and a larynx that, if truly strangled, might actually make some sense.

Well, aren't you mixing things up a bit too much on the table, Yosif?! As for the big names stemming from Hyperdub, that's definitely true (Kode9 comes straight from "UK-Garage"), and they all share a common denominator of a "grainy" sound, strongly vinyl-based (Burial included, and even the young sprouts responsible for the hype "Wonky," in the end, don't stray too far from "Grime" parameters). But here we're talking about people who use rhythmic scans and "Dubstep" tempos in a much more Central European and "Tech-House" perspective, so the sounds themselves are quite different, much cleaner, drier, and at the same time deep. In short, the reference points are the productions from "Basic Channel" or "Perlon" (coincidentally, Shackleton released "Tree EPs" there).

Beautiful there, Zione. A thousand thanks for the RecenZione. I'm still trying to come to terms with the successor: "Unbalance." Not that it's bad (not at all), but when I listen to this... it's a whole other story. Few foundational elements, but combined to the fullest potential, where the details make the difference and become a remarkably functional apparatus. A few too many digressions that don't give me the impression of being perfectly directed, on the other hand, in "Unbalance."

Kosmo, I don’t know if Irisarri can really appeal to you... Huge synth pads, processed and stretched on the laptop, and (veeeery) sporadic rhythmic undercurrents, the "grain" matters more than the "superfluous" sonic embellishments (and the overall mood is particularly monochrome).

Have you heard Ikonika's work? For me, it's quite interesting, overflowing, with all the pros and cons that come with it; in other words: surprising intuitions and some rough excesses. But it's the approach that I like; with due proportions (and changing the elements of the palette), it seems to me that the girl handles the dubstep material with that "Ikonoclasm" that (to drop a couple of pretty strong names) Squarepusher and Aphex Twin reserved for drum & bass 15 years ago.

Come on, I don’t think even Sigur Rós have ever thought about it in such terms; otherwise, they would have inverted the order of the parentheses, leaning towards the CULATA... ;)
