oxford/london/leeds based newcomer graphics is responsible for the first release on the long gestated granholme label. brian eno was once quoted as >not wanting to contribute to the glut of cds< in the world. granholmes ambitions as a label are modest, but if we can do anything to detract from the glut of painfully beige electronic music available in 2011 then that will be considered a small victory.

the sound of the late great fitzcarraldos is like sand between your toes. bittersweet love songs paying homage to otis redding, brian eno, john cale and luther vandross. this is sophisticated melodic luxury music for a generation that has the history of music up their sleeve, but really just want to meditate.

brian eno und nick cave sind ihr bereits verfallen und die düster rockenden haudegen von grinderman hat die musik der londonerin so fasziniert, dass sie anna calvi als support auf ihrer jüngsten europatour eingeladen haben. dort konnte anna calvi ihr beeindruckendes talent als meisterin morbider musikalität und dramatik und ihre phänomenale bühnenpräsenz beweisen. wie aus einem tarrantino-film entsprungen, steht sie auf der bühne mit ihren rot geschminkten lippen und ihrer gitarre, aus der hochmelodische klänge perlen. boleroesk entwerfen schlagzeug und gitarre immer gewaltigere spannungsbögen, verlieren sich aber nie endgültig im melodischen chaos. denn über ihnen thront und regiert calvis hypnotische stimme.am 14. januar erscheint das gleichnamige debütalbum von anna calvi bei domino, das sie mit rob ellis (u.a. pj harvey) in london und frankreich produziert hat. es ist ein überraschend selbstsicheres debüt, das ihre talente als songwriterin, gitarristin und sängerin auf zehn songs gleichermaßen beeindruckend vorstellt.

spring 2006 was both cruel and exciting. radiating hot helsinki nights, too much light and vivid, restless dreams about music. while chucking down a glass of cheap brandy in a local bar the idea finally materialized: lets start a record label! a label that would bring people together. proud people. people thinking of music. people doing their own thing in their own way in their own basements. and most importantly, people who understood the meaning of space between notes. after 5 years, 16 records, 85 tracks and 44 artists from 13 countries it goes without saying that those restless dreams became reality. and so did the music.

post-punk, reggae afro, disco und balearic style in the mix: can, unknown cases, desmond & the tutus, chris & cosey, brian eno & john cale.

one year later the label panacustica delivers a slamming second twelve inch rats mother followed by a brilliant prins thomas remix, plus a detroit inspired instrumental by stay gold, argentoÆs alter ego. the record opens with a dreamy version where a plucked string intro and rats voice drive you into a deep, cinematic, adult dance groove. this laid back, psychedelic track flows well beyond your usual dance floor act into eno-esque territories. prins thomass mix is faster, happier and jumpier. its an amazing balearic trip with a live warm feel to it in which a guitar plays along the melody, accentuating the spaced out feel of the track, lifting it into higher states. stay gold gives the listeners a techno version where sparse, mechanical drums and a minimized melody take us to the motor city (citta dei motori) for a night drive in the dark. own it, feel it, play it loud.

once again loeb hit you up with a truly unique and wonderful slice of dancefloor strangeness all the way from russia.id10ts (can be pronounced idiots) is a new experimental beats project that features andrei from alexandroid whose >short cuts< was one of the many overlooked masterpieces released on the lo recordings label some years ago, along with pavel who is art director of one of the best clubs in moscow and ilya who according to rolling stone (russian edition) is one of the top 5 guitar players in russia. so a whole heap of talent on one black disc.the original gold room track is an extended mystical meditation with a spoken intro courtesy of the legendary sun ra whose wise words lead you into a new musical world where skewed electronics glide over persistent beats and delicate guitars chime along with harmonic male vocals that recall brian eno, talking heads and maybe tarwater.on the flip the inimitable dj koze does his funky thing like only he can, turning the original into an essential piece of leftfield dance music that s perfect for summer.

deacon is the salvador dali of electro... a refreshing example of someone rewriting rules of music as he goes along the guardian by now youll know baltimores dan deacon. dubbed >oddball< by many, >inspired< by more hes one guy treading many thin lines - confidently straddling between nutjob and genius, downright brilliant and insanely mind-bending, and with a live show from another world inducing more audience participation than a seriously skewed pantomime. the label amazing sounds has brought together kindred spirits hudson mohawke, allez-allez and luke abbott to create a rich and varied ep which mirrors dan deacons rich and varied music. this is only the second release on amazing sounds, the first being a 12inch of remixes from the krautrock classic harmonia & eno 76 album tracks & traces (with remixes from shackleton and appleblim & komonazmuk). this next vinyl release is a one time only pressing of 500 copies

strictly limited, hand stamped white label 12 featuring two awesome re-edits/ remixes from the kenneth bager experience. >strange rabbit tones< reworks the classic david byrne & brian eno track >strange overtones< with >wampire rabbits<, an edit of vampire weekend. seriously dope. don’t miss

played by: laurent garmier, josh wink, slam, m.a.n.d.y. , axel bartsch...cosmo braun alias kenny leaven comes up with part 2 of his soulmate collection. after the big success of part 1 (de:bug charts #21) he get in touch with the third dimension. contact is a real peak-time bomb with his own definion of modern house, infected with a strong voice and spheric jupiter sounds. a special track is st. elmo s fire. it is a tribute to one of his heroes, brian eno.

a ton of steel and pipes used as instruments? à driving steel beats, accompanied by synthesizer sounds and experimental industrial samples create the sound of pale musics premiere release >phsychomania<. for sure this record, presented by matt eno and steve morell, head of pale music, is no easy listening. five bands / projects come together on this sampler, all of them top name current level of electronic and industrial music. from time to time the music appears to be dark and eerie. guest vocalists include luna di morph and rosa lee riza.

mountains is brendon anderegg and koen holtkamp, friends since their middle school days. they began exchanging musical ideas and compositions which led to them founding the apestaartje label in 1999. as their collaborations and individual projects blossomed, they decided to create mountains as a vehicle for live performance. a love of sculpting sound in front of an audience is at the heart of mountains. the groupÆs third album, æchoralÆ (their first self-titled release and second album æsewnÆ were both on apestaartje), is the culmination of their work to date and a balanced mix of the first two efforts. mountains are often compared to artists such as brian eno and fennesz, citing their extended melodies and their unique broad guitar work. mountains seamlessly blend pastoral electronic sounds with both field recordings and a plethora of acoustic instruments.the effect is incredibly sublime and hypnotic as the sounds slowly wrap themselves around each other and alter themselves in the mind of the listener. includes free download voucher.

>beaten< is the first track to be released from random factor’s new album and comes with excellent art of tones remixes.carl a finlow again shows his history and pedigree as well as his refusal to jump on bandwagons and trends by producing timeless electronic music inspired more by kraftwerk, yello, stockhausen, tomita, prince, sakamoto, brian eno and the white noise than by what’s playing this summer at dc10. ralph lawson used >beaten< as the last track on his recent 2020vision compilation. this jerky sporadic groove gives a nod to the forefathers while holding down a beat anyone would be proud of. the single comes complete with remixes from art of tones, fresh after last year’s huge >praise<. this mystery outfit has now signed to 2020vision and this is the first of many bombs from them. art of tones take the track directly to the dancefloor and produce two versions that would slay berlin’s panorama bar at 9 on a sunday morning.

first single to be lifted from the forthcoming lp is a flawless representation of some of the freakishly danceable tracks contained therein. a wholly original mashup of electronics, my heart rate rapid is sheer falsetto laden, drum battering brilliance. although metronomys elliptical, insidious, multi coloured art pop sounds nothing like colognes legendary purveyors of prog disco, can do offer clues to the lineage the band belong to. add early brian eno, sparks, devo, talking heads, soft cell, and then scratch your head for more recent examples of abstract music, full of experiment, risk, and individuality that somehow resolves itself into pop that makes you sing and dance and feel like a big kid and you realise that you cant think of any, because metronomy are, in the current pop milieu, an utterly unique proposition.

iken returns with his second release - another atmospheric house-influenced journey..this new ep features 3 tracks… the distorted dirty disco workout of the title track aspects, the shimmering filtered funk of in touch, and the mysterious pulsing drone and eno-like moog shapes of december spring.. the first pressing of aspects also includes the bonus 7 single minds eye / close range (real soon, rs-008)!!

archived environmental views- vereint unveršffentlichtes material aus den future sound of london release-serien from the archives und environments, sowie aus ihrer piano-serie views, die hauptsŠchlich mit dem pianisten und mehrfachen grammy-nominierten filmkomponisten daniel pemperton (gold, steve jobs, king arthur) eingespielt wurde und 2 cover von brian eno (a place in the wilderness) und roger eno (late october) enthŠlt.

auf ulrich schnauss 5tem studio-album -no further ahead than today- regieren einmal mehr die elektronisch eingespielten ambient-pop-hymnen, die lŠngst zu seinem markenzeichen geworden sind. diese sollten fans von kźnstlern wie jon hopkins und brian eno interessieren. schnauss selbst ist umtriebig - seit 2014 ist er keyboarder bei tangerine dream, produziert unter eigenem namen remixes fźr pop-kźnstler wie depeche mode, pet shop boys, todd terje und bryan ferry und hat gerade fźr die decca-compilation re:works bachs -prelude in c- neu in szene gesetzt. -no further ahead than today- ist klar mehr pop als ambient. starke melodien stehen im vordergrund, die stźcke sind mit rhythmen unterlegt, zuweilen gar mit gesang begleitet, eine hymnische note ist immer prŠsent. spŠtestens seit seinen beiden solo-alben, die bei dem deutschen label city center offices erschienen, gilt schnauss als ein elektroniker, der manche tugenden des britischen indie-shoegaze-sounds auf seine klangvorstellungen źbertrŠgt.

being pioneers with a new album created in no more than 6 months, the orb are bound to be exposed to fan expectations running high, while quizzical questions about little fluffy clouds and the good old times take over. it s especially jarring as the duo of accomplished soundsmiths alex paterson and thomas fehlmann has become known for its genre-bending curiosity and surprising sonic detours, exploring experimental soundscapes as well as club-friendly beats. the funny thing is, though, that whatever the context, you know a track from the orb when you hear it. case in point: cow / chill out, world!, their latest full-length offering - a masterful ambient album that branches out in many directions, but unmistakably sounds like the orb in either ear (and probably to your third ear, too).

the explosion ist ein neues projekt des versatile labelmachers gilbert cohen aka dj gilb r, eine hŠlfte von chateau flight, zusammen mit fabrizio rat (piano, synthesizer) und giani caserotto (gitarre) von cabaret contemporain. de einflźsse auf dem experimentell gehaltenen album reichen von duke ellington źber brian eno, terry riley zu godspeed you! black emperor, enio morricone oder francois de roubaix.

nach dem 6-track-minialbum math ilium ion anfang 2015 veršffentlicht der osloer produzent andrŽ bratten, der neben todd terje, prins thomas und lindstrom, zur cosmic-disco-speerspitze des landes gehšrt, nun sein zweites full-length-album. gode ist ein eher dunkles werk, auf dem er einflźsse von arvo pŠrt, brian eno oder seinem landsmann biosphere verarbeitet, aufgenommen mit bandgerŠten und unterlegt mit field recordings, modifiziertem piano, stringarrangements und sogar vocals (von susanne sundfor).

das zweite album des franzšsischen elektronikers arandel klingt wie ein tribut an den godfather des minimalismus, terry riley, und bewegt sich zwischen benebelter electronica, emotionalem techno und krautrock, wo unterschiedliche tempi, stimmungen und themen miteinander verflochten sind. siehe auch brian eno, siehe oneothrix point never, progressive 70er synth-epen, 8-bit-soundtracks und john cage.

what is this? we actually dont know but it is new and wonderful! as one of the most successful artists in contemporary techno music hendrik weber aka pantha du prince presents his new studio project together with workshops stephan abry: ursprung. after several studio sessions in the cold and charming winter of the swiss alps, abry and weber were driven deeper and deeper into some microcosm of sound to almost cut the edge to the myth. influenced by krautrock, the ambient music of harold budd and early brian eno, avantgarde, and the minimalistic guitar sound of durutti collumn the ursprung project cant resist to make the guitar a main source. coming together with highly futuristic sounds as we know from the researches of pantha du prince. a truly unconventional structure of slowly growing beats hold this universe which came from the cold mountains together. it is not the first time the protagonists behind ursprung worked together. they met some ten years ago in hamburg as the photographer and musician stephan abry worked on his workshop project together with the artist kai althoff. hendrik weber was involved in the band stella and both released on hamburgs legendary ladomat 2000 label. a frequent conversation, exchange of music and some sessions made them work on pantha du prince works. mostly recorded in that white out background of the alps it was clear from the beginning- a unique project will come one day. now ursprung is here and lets us forget time and memory. stephan abry and hendrik weber wonder what is this? we actually dont know at all but it is new and wonderful!

is the world strange or am i strange? is the sophomore album from 22 year old brian eno-approved musician cosmo jarvis. the devon-based singer-songwriter follows his debut humasyouhitch / sonofabitch with another album full of his unique musical stylings, including the singe and viral video hit -gay pirates-.

the sound of the late great fitzcarraldos is like sand between your toes. bittersweet love songs paying homage to otis redding, brian eno, john cale and luther vandross. this is sophisticated melodic luxury music for a generation that has the history of music up their sleeve, but really just want to meditate.

bei -celestial vibration- handelt es sich um das 1978 erstmals veroeffentlichte debuetalbum von edward larry gordon, der vor allem unter seinem pseudonym laraaji bekannt wurde. entdeckt wurde laraaji von niemand geringerem als brian eno, der ihn in einem new yorker park hat spielen hoeren und 1980 auf seinem album -ambient 3: day of radiance- weltweit bekannt wurde. gordons hauptinstrument ist die zither, die er bisweilen elektrisch verstaerkt und wie ein klavier spielt. 1943 in philadelphia geboren, studierte gordon musiktheorie, bevor er nach new york zog. -celestial vibration- erschien 1978 in einer auflage von 500 exemplaren und war quasi seitdem nicht mehr erhaeltlich. die zwei je 24 minuten langen stuecke des albums haben trotz ihres jazzhintergrunds beide einen sehr meditativen charakter, wobei das zweite rhythmisch und kompositorisch ein wenig anspruchsvoller ist. gordon, der in monroe, new york, ein aschram gruendete und mittlerweile einen lach-meditations-workshop betreibt, hat seit seinem debuet mehr als 50 alben mit meditationsmusik veroeffentlicht.

final song goes to the very heart of musics spiritual dimension by asking a number of musicians to select their ideal last song, either to serenade their final moments or to memorialize them after the fact. the participating artists deserve to be commended for their openness: theyre responding to one of the most personal questions one could ask. (several of those approached declined to take part- taboos are taboos, after all.)
