Minez – Reusable sticker {od046}

Artist: Minez
Title: Reusable sticker
Label: Ogredung
Catalog #: od046
Release Date: 2002/05/30

Fancying this natural grace and nodding while smiling is something we can’t really help doing.
Repetitive, but celestial notes wear a tough hi-freq base interlacing with trembles and reverse hits and sweet caressable -yet hidden- movements, which we can only guess the existence of.
Very animesque and enjoyable this one, will be difficult to listen to this less than 5 times a day my friends.
For those of you who are a bit fed up of evil and dark moods.. superb. 🙂

Ilkae – Jump Math Cupboard EP {mtk079}

Artist: Ilkae
Title: Jump Math Cupboard EP
Label: Monotonik
Catalog #: mtk079
Release Date: 2002/05/17

A Canadian/Polish duo who’ve been floating around the Monotonik nexus for a good while, and finally got sucked in, this deliciously playful EP mirrors the v-idm-eogame aesthetic of their recent, and very well received “Pistachio Island” album on Merck Records, and their two smart tracks for Neo-Ouija‘s “Cottage Industries 2”, in a deft touch and wonderful attention to detail.

The mini-journey starts with “Lagomorph Jump”, replete with layered chord jams, clever stops and starts, and intriguingly offbeat melodies, before “Let Irmine Do The Math” slides into view, pushing a quiet storm with initially proud ambience, then oddly proto-jazz groove. And to end it all, “New Cupboard From Ikea” is absolutely classic idm, with noble squeaks and proud stutters to the fore.

Makunouchi Bento – Kunitoki [edit] {od045}

Artist: Makunouchi Bento
Title: Kunitoki [edit]
Label: Ogredung
Catalog #: od045
Release Date: 2002/05/12

More electroxperimentalism from our fav dynamic duo; Wakax and Qewza take and wear their gusoku for some truly evil occasion.
Nipponic voices straight from inferno and totally crazy beats attack our mind and go directly into the brain; a continuous assault to our senses, which definitely explodes after 3mins of cyber intro.
A demon is being driven out from one of the numerous, countless hells underground, and with his beautiful smile makes us participants of his sumptuous feast; but, we can never leave.
A bakuhatsu of killa energy erupts, and we’re completely lost between quakes and blue flames. An undead samurai thrills and paws and calls the name.

Aleksi Eeben – Music Box {mtk078}

Artist: Aleksi Eeben
Title: Music Box
Label: Monotonik
Catalog #: mtk078
Release Date: 2002/05/05

After releasing a pseudonymous EP from Finland’s Aleksi Eeben a few months ago, we kept an eye on his work further, only to discover the _amazing_ Commodore 64 work he’s been doing with his self-coded John Player, which brings a ‘tracker’-style interface to bear on the C64. And if you’re wondering who this Aleksi fellow is and where he came from – well, as Heatbeat of the infamous CNCD, he was regularly voted one of the best ever Amiga .MOD composers back in the early ’90s.

So, given a few years, and a platform move _backwards_ this time round, heh, Aleksi’s work just keeps getting better. This collection of .SIDs, 18 in all, plus a ‘best-of’ selection of 7 .MP3 conversions, were specially ripped for Monotonik from the Commodore 64 “Music Box” music-disc series which have been released over the past 3 or 4 months, and which would otherwise be far too obscure for anyone’s good.

In any case, grab the .SIDs for the full picture, but if you want to delve into the .MP3s as a start point, try the insane catchiness of “75% Sale”, the messed-up c64 d+b of “Flight Of The Bumblebee”, or the superclever- ness of “The All-Family Stomp”. But, believe us, it’s all good.
