Again a proof Likantropika is able to perform on stage music that is often called studiowork. This is a great achievement, and again, they should start travelling around the big cities to please us with gigs. The use of real instruments, here som great guitarwork, gives a superb live feel. Also again it shows that Jamplayer sucks, as it makes you terrified with each break, so: download this first and play in a row, as Pichu stated, or give us this wonderful piece undivided. Real musiclovers can wait half an hour to experience one of the greatest finales on Jamendo. What a superb end is track 4, giving sensations of total commitment to what great music can achieve. Only problem is you wanna start the half hour again immediately to get that sensual feeling again that carries you away to electronic rocky spheres that bands like pink floyd were able to reach in their good days. Thanks for this trip.

Great welcome to this artist in the cc-community. Great atmospheric tracks, very deep, and superb rhythms. This is a nice collector to get familiar with his roachy sounds, but adding a clear freshness too. I also like his drony style in som tracks, a chance to fill in your own rhyth. Superb stuff....

Thanks for the recoms, indeed a very very fine album. Clear sounds, superb rhythms, a very positive vibe and feel. Generally i don't like dancemusic, but on this album i can't stop moving some parts of my body.Great variations, very well mixed, produced and mastered. Enjoyed it a lot.

Morgaine's complaints about a lack of parodists on Jamendo here meets a prove they exist. Very humorous and well crafted tracks. The condensation in track 1 is great,superb voice treatments, and phon even manages to make track 2 swing. I had a great laugh, and only have to complain again about the length of the album. Sheer fun. More more more....

I started listening due to great respected critics.

Indeed great, superb track 3

Untill......

I met som covers who didn't belong here on Jamendo. Now its corrected i can easily say i very much like the free whirling stuff, and add a star... Nice work

Wow, this was better than the normal cup on office, the stupid administration was done in a minute. Next driving home in my car with the same music it was even more fun, only had to watch the speedlimits. This is great remixing, full of energy , very versatile, you don't get bored a second. i even can imagine it works great on dancefloors, though i'm hanging round in loungecorners more. It swings like hell, makes you smile every switch you hear. This has become such a bright palet of great music, i even get tempted to take a listen to the orignals. You made this my cup of tea, mental cafeine. I'm convinced

Just take the test and be sure you hear them all, this is one big hour of marvelous soundengeneering. If you reach the end you're in a perfect smiling shape, and indeed reawakened. Meanwhile you discover beautiful territories, great layered landscapes and you get sensitized by this work full of emotion. It seems so easy and its so greatly done. Thank you, I enjoyed myself very much

Glad to discover some very interesting electronic sounds, and they are just around my corner. Very nice mixing style, the word psychedelic made me very curious, but indeed there are enough elements in it that make you flow towards more abstract directions. Its always very difficult to integrate voices in electronic styles, and i'm glad it doesn't disturb here very much. The use of rhythm could've been a bit more nondirective, multitonic and versatile, but overall a very nice album .
PS to the chilling spirit: just give those damn stars, cause you're unwanting blowing his ratings ;)

Personal data

 

KraftiM. A soundarchitect from Holland. Works with found sounds, fieldrecordings, voices, instruments, wavs & midi's and mixes & blends them in his own crossrhythmic style.

Some of my favs are Tim Hecker, Philip Jeck, Murcof, old Namlook and Tetsu Inoue, Mathias Grassow, Carl Stone , Francisco Lopèz, and a lot of Musique Concrète....

First appearances on Musictrade netlabel MT003 (Norberg Field Recordings)   MT005 (Reqiems for a Submerged City), a tribute to New Orleans and MT010 (Ice Mustard). Next  influenced by classic masterpieces from Schubert, Stravinsky, Messiaen. Lately developing both in ambient directions to catch the complexity of silence and more experimental rhythmic work rather to shift yer soul than move yer feet. The BackvieW album is a collection of these works, awaiting a next release at Musictrade.

Lately collaborating with electronic drummer/composer Justbase, also from the Netherlands. Featuring Justbase is released. After that the ep Solyuga is released, 2 dark tracks, and 2 collaborations with Japanese friends and english singer Geechi. And finally an extended cooperation with Krita Yuga, a sitarplayer from Japan, which resulted in the etSitara album, released in may 2007.

Next came the release of Ancient Species here on Jamendo,  followed by the JamatriX Project, a virtual collaboration with 5 Jamendo artists.

News and extra releases you can find at www.myspace.com/KraftiM , where his first official solorelease came in november 2007 with a very expanded version of the etSitara release here on Jamendo.

You're very welcome there too.

Anxious to hear from you....

PS. when even considered please donate only to Amnesty International on my behalf, and not to me, cause in my opinion Free Music- Free Culture is the great goal for everybody and therefore a Free World is needed.
