Ronny Pries – Through the Fog {T-001}

Artist: Ronny Pries
Title: Through the Fog
Label: Weltherrschaft
Division: T-
Catalog #: T-001
Release Date: 2003/07/30

A1, “Through the fog”, burns itself into the listeners memory. The offensive bassline is coming along like an earthquake.

The b-side continues seamlessly and shows with “Harvester” through striking hi-hats and a compressed beyond belief synthpad.

Although with smoother sounds, but by no means less floating the second track of the b-side “Orang Utan” represents itself and the artist Ronny Pries with his wide Spectrum of understanding his music. Sharp drums and soft spheres combined into a melodic and rhythmical sophisticated track, which is not only ambient..

Books on Tape – Man Alive EP {od058}

Artist: Books on Tape
Title: Man Alive EP
Label: Ogredung
Catalog #: od058
Release Date: 2003/07/23

Todd Drootin from California, also known as Books on Tape, has a plethora of releases on so many labels (and netlabels) and runs such cool projects (he’s b0ss of the Subverseco netlabel as well) that we actually had no few troubles in drawing a somewhat evolutionistic line of his work; one thing we are sure of: he’s certainly one of the greatest working minds under the ground of the underground electronics nowadays. His music is savagely cyber-piratesque, holding at times a particular hard-exotic touch that renders a very unique (and maybe evil) scene. Riff-loops and obscure acidity, noise-rock sampling and sometimes danceable rioting melodies make Todd’s work a new, unique and well-defined musical experience for the intelligent headnodders.

Tracklist:
01 – Pirate radio child
02 – Son of what went wrong
03 – Sediert
04 – Crackton
05 – Auction stand for personal hatred
06 – Revolver illmatik

Anders Svensson – Run Anders Run EP {mtk114}

Artist: Anders Svensson
Title: Run Anders Run EP
Label: Monotonik
Catalog #: mtk114
Release Date: 2003/07/23

A return to Monotonik duties from Swedish artist Anders Svensson, formerly a Scandinavian indie band stalwart, and following up his debut Monotonik EP with another 3 tracks of wonderfully elliptical, genuinely original takes on the whole electronic music thing.

First up, ‘Making It Personal’ does that almost-cylical gorgeously crystallic thing than so many of Anders’ tracks seem to, before ‘Facing Trouble’ drifts beautifully around the question, all coy and drifting. Finally, ‘Sooner As Well As Later’ patters the percussion and pitters your heart with pure tones and delicate drums.

Blisaed – As Time Passes EP {mtk113}

Artist: Blisaed
Title: As Time Passes EP
Label: Monotonik
Catalog #: mtk113
Release Date: 2003/07/10

We’re delighted to showcase the first Monotonik EP from American artist Matt Centonze, under his Blisaed moniker. Matt’s released on smaller netlabels and his own site as Echion and Mistrial before, but the “As Time Passes EP” drifts through some beautifully produced indie electronic moods, alternately sophisticated and restful.

First off, it’s “Megan’s Guitar”, with some serene spoken word and strummed guitar melding wonderfully, before “Far From Home” works up the percussives into more of a understated frenzy. Then, newest track “Connect” let everyone connect into Blisaed’s superdelicious blissful world, before Matt’s remix of (previous Monotonik releaser) Darkhalo’s “Analog Snow Bunny Girl” gets all orchestral and lushly analog on our collective eardrums. Good stuff indeed.
