Auto Delta Time – Inception [AD002]
New release on Acoustic Division the label under the direction of Joseph Clark. Three tracks from Auto Delta Time.
Christopher Rau – How Are You [PAMPA007]
New release from Christopher Rau on Pampa Records. “Pervading Animal” is built upon a solid foundation of familiar rhythm box elements, but like vines and moss, the sedating sounds of strings and keys envelop the empty spaces, showing Christopher Rau’s ability to combine the artificial and the organic into something transcendent. On the flip side, “C F R” sounds like by-the-numbers Muppet New Age, but graduates with distinction as the meowing synth squiggles saunter over the basketball beat. The EP denouements with “How Are You Today”, marked by a toasty chord progression that’s playfully trying to compose itself as the track moves forward, turning science fiction into science fact.
Vakula – Steve Reich – 2×5 (Movement 3 Fast) [REICH2X5001]
Extremely heavy off-label reworking of Steve Reich’s 2X5 (Movement 3, fast) by Ukraine’s Vakula. Comes with a bonus track on the flip. Raw, analogue and organic.
VA – Mo-2-Meaux Volume 2 [SRT149]
A collection of artists from Motown, USA to Meaux, France. United by a common musical vision, the uncompromising direction goes without question. Soulful melodies, atop thick, raw rhythm tracks, classic Detroit house tracks.
