unplugged vol. 1 is the first in a cd series by ssaliva. the first one contains 11 synthetic vignettes, a very stripped back affair, much more then we are used of this ever so elegant master of layering and kingpin of the lighter kind of electronic lasagna, digesting the latest flavors long before they get stale. not on this one though. these are more skeletons of pop songs, bare and glassy, played on a fake nylon-stringed koto for an imaginary court of internet angels. digipack in silver pantone with black 500 pcs

mental groove records is thrilled to announce bigenerics new double album entitled spielmanda in collaboration with the artist own inzec imprint. swiss artist marco repetto is the chromatic brain behind bigeneric musical project and has a strong background in the burgeoning scenes of minimal synth (grauzone with stephan eicher), early techno (synectics on aphex twins rephlex imprint) and ambient / trance (planet love on superstition). spielmanda album reflects the artist deep love for nature, psychedelia, health and futurism. the title is borrowed from a book by berner writer and myths researcher sergius golowin and is a fictional legendary and mystic place in the swiss pre-alps, a place that marco repetto explores through the 16 tracks of this album that he has constructed and tested at numerous performances. a truly justified and bright +2 hours long daydreaming walk across the deep forests and infinitively colorful meadows of imaginary spielmandas landscapes and beyond, with marco repettos heart rebel signature, a unique and modern mixture of technology driven hippie & punk culture. 117th release from versatile swiss imprint mental groove records (donato dozzy, bruno spoerri, eduardo de la calle, kenji kawaii, orlando voorn, nate krafft, sinner dc, orbe, lugano fell, keiichi tanaka, tommasso cappelatoÉ)

cd in 6-panel digipak printed in three pantone colours. featuring all-new material and recorded in the bands isolated studio on the edge of the essex marshes, the album ebbs and flows in mood like the nearby blackwater estuary. working with a palette of vintage drum machines, analogue synths, textural samples, acoustic recordings, electric bass & heavily treated guitar, the songs were born out of captured live studio performances.

jeff mills once again indulges his passion for classic sci-fi with this 2cd re-imagining of the score to harry kleiner s titular 66 flick. it follows his -cyborg 2087- recreation and imaginary soundtracks for -the power- and -the occurence- with a deep voyage of discovery. but unlike the aforementioned, the original film plot - about a team of scientists who re miniaturized and dispatched inside a human body to fix a blood clot - thematic scales are inversed and we re drawn to mills inner, as opposed to outer, space-scapes. the action unfolds across 22 tracks and 2 cds, from bleepin, womb-like viscera and hazardous noise bursts through archetypal rhythm arrangements and fluid programming reflecting the man/machine, organic/synthesized themes of the film and his own alien/human aesthetic. it s wonderful to witness mills maturing as a composer and refining his art to something beyond a soundtrack for dancefloor rituals, but without ever losing his original blueprint, and showing that the line between cinematic imagination and dancefloor functions can be a very fine one.

pixelÕs third album the drive is meant to be the soundtrack to his imaginary journey by car across the u.s.a., a road movie encoded in the track list. with warm and deep guitar amplifier hiss and feedback in connection with floating rhythms he creates very organic sound patterns. the music might evoke images of deserts, chemical warfare plants, rugged landscapes, rocket takeoffs and hectic suburban night life
