unter seinem pseudonym anatolian weapons verbindet baltas polyrhythmische perkussion und klagende töne der griechischen volksmusik mit einer mitreißenden und offenen krautrock-attitüde. das album earth nimmt uns mit auf eine mystische reise durch das nordgriechische hochland, untermalt von baltas einzigartigem maschinengestütztem folk, der mit psychedelischen drones durchsetzt ist und eine aura ausstrahlt, die weder damals noch heute, weder dort noch hier ist. stattdessen existiert es in einer kleinen tasche seines eigenen kosmos. ein kreuzungspunkt der dimensionen. ein mystisches angebot an die natur und die götter.

adham shaikh ist ein geschätzter ambient-, dub- und keyboarder-künstler aus vancouver, kanada, dessen tracks anfang bis mitte der 90er jahre ihren weg auf wegweisende labels wie instinct, dossier, interchill und sein eigenes label modulation elektronik gefunden haben.
diese sammlung enthält eine auswahl der wichtigsten frühen werke, die mit ascend beginnt, dessen spacige dub-atmosphäre zu den versteckten ambient-dub-perlen der 1990er jahre gehört. vapor vervollständigt die a-seite mit seinem wortreichen ausflug in organische und räumliche dub-atmosphäre. auf der b-seite befindet sich die über 16-minütige ätherische odyssee windgate 11:11, die seit über 25 jahren zu den favoriten der fans gehört. der 22-minütige spitzentrack namens oberon (greymatter), der sich auf der c-seite ausbreitet, stammt von seiner debüt-ep realignment seines labels modulation elektronik aus dem jahr 1993. der vielleicht proto-technischste track auf diesem album ist ein paradebeispiel für die freie ausdrucksweise der damaligen zeit im ambient-dub. der letzte track, der hier vorgestellt wird, trägt den gleichen titel wie adham shaikhs meistverehrtes und beliebtestes album journey to the sun.
gut ding will weile haben – und reichlich wumms am besten gleich noch mit dazu. zumindest dann, wenn es sich mal wieder um neue tracks aus dem engsten kreis der monkey maffia handelt. ganze vier jahre ist es inzwischen her, dass uns von dort aus der vorerst letzte teil des monkey maffia music club erreichte, eine 12inchinch voll funky-garstiger biester für die besten dancefloors dieser welt. zwischendurch erschien ein remix hier und ein track dort, doch nun gibts endlich wieder monkey maffia satt. und das nunmehr 75. release auf freude am tanzen gleich noch mit dazu! der soundtrack zu diesem feierlichen anlass kommt von monkey maffia höchstselbst. stichwort wumms: den bringen seine tracks stets genauso mit zur party wie massig tiefe und funk. denn als routinierter dj weiß der mann einfach, was eine lange nacht alles braucht hier wird die gerade bassdrum gebrochen, dort mit endlos warmen synths unterfüttert. in einem track klappern uns bass und percussion die sorgen aus dem leib, im nächsten flirren die pads und vocals sehnsüchtig um die wette. was auch immer passiert, langweilig wird’s auf dieser wie jener weltlichen erdscheibe mit sicherheit nicht.
