great fun! This dutch hymn will be heard lot on the next european championshp, though with other lyrics. This is great, fun and german lux. Superb summerfeel, happy sound, though a slight education in whistling is advised. Warmock will be happy he survived the bbq....
very nice soundtreating album, with great deep relaxing moods. Only beware of the nightmare part that like a noisestampede heavily interrupts your explorations. Can happen in real live though, no trip is perfect.
Yes it takes a while. And its worth it! After hearing the short works first ( 100 minutes is scary...) and reading the manifesto, i must say that this album is a masterpiece. Here real cooperation occurs, no overloaded tracks like on Imbued, but perfectly balanced pieces, with surprises nearly in every track. Ambient, jazzy, sometimes even rocking...(18).
A magnificent example of improvisation, composition and instrumental skills. It must be so enjoyable playing together this way, knowing composing and improvising is often a lonely job. Here you can understand 1+1 sometimes is much more than 2, i tried the matrix-approach once on a different way myself, but this sounds very very appealing. Didn't find a bad excerpt!! If you had made 2 albums from 50" each out of it, you would have had 2 brilliant albums....Gratulations with this superb release and sorry i missed this one before. Definitively in my favorites..... highly recommended.
i'm sorry, this is an example of far too much people on a stage. ambient is not a rockband. the tracks are full of participation but lack cooperation, its as if everybody gets his turn, and often on the same moment. cause of the use of so much electronics i advise you guys to make soloalbums, or smaller cooperations, cause yer music is full of great ideas and lines, but now your pushing yer collegues from the stage.
What a music! An oasis of peace, but full of emotions. Fantastic pianoplay, together with occasional guitar and cello embedded in a great ambient feel. My dearest place is moving to tears... its so honest and real. All tracks give you a personal glimps of a rich emotional world that goes very deep. It allows you to lay back and overthink what the ... you're doing. Its unbelievable what is in these relatively short tracks, that keep expanding in your mind.A new Autumn at last gives a great finale... This is a stunning masterpiece. Thank you very much Albert for making and sharing this.... a definitive classic
A very wealthy collection we find here, other artists would have made at least 2 albums out of it. This is great collection where we have the chance to discover the great variation in drumming and songbuilding from Justbase. Great miniatures, twisted sounds, superb percussion. Overal the mood is a bit sad, very down to earth but with beautifull lights(like in Stootkussen, a great dutch word :). Guestappearences from o0o and Linda are a nice surprise. Big Fake Pig i find a bit falling apart on this album, could've been a funny x-rated single :P.
Highlights are easy findable, just guessing many listeners have to survive the first track to fully undergo what follows.Tracks like Waiting, Candle, Whoop, from the A, the Valley deserve playlisting like mad.Superb last track... Great experimentation we find here from a very talented guy i'm glad to know. An album full of treasures is to be discovered here. Highly recommendated. Welcom and thank you for this very big hour!!
Thrown in dramatic depths, hooked on a mysterious curve. starts great. Then the big surprise, on great rhythmic waves we find singing! Mixed together well, but after discussions we could agree you need more mutual freedom to cooperate, arne sounds restricted and withholding here.Next to great rhythm and structuring again. Dangerous to play while driving, you easily go too fast :). Like the mysterious twilight very much. Overdriving again on the next speedy track, swings greatly. A dark track full of embrasing dense pain is following till we reach the mastertrip of this record. Here we find everything we look for in great music! to be fully enjoyed over and over. On repeat and dig in every corner of body and mind..the track gets better and better...
Again a superbly polished jewel from mr Abogix (Just Klasse)
interesting soundtreatments. In the first track it works as if the artist is trying to find moods, as soon he finds something interesting, it switches over to the next effort. Like life? Hecker-ish . Track 2 is better balanced. Great filmic tapestry is made here, though the rhythmsection could be varied a bit more.The third track again has the search and sustain function on again, and has a lot of bells. With some more coherence and rest these could have been great tracks. Keep on experimenting, its full of promising ideas.
Great crispy clear album from Kanga again. He specialises in superb melodic computermusic, this time merely instrumental and only incidental robotic voices. This is great backgroundmusic, whether you are cleaning up yer room or just easily relax. Sounds and melodies with emotions. You start feeling very comfortable listening to this. Zeer mooi!!
Great, at last news from Ren!! A great funeraltrack. Normally i object to a single release, but i guess this isvery urgent, because with this track the blue version is buried. I'll stand aside mourning, till all features will return, and we have the choice to make our own colours alive again. Great sad atmosphere, can't help smiling...
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.
