Goto80 – Bravo {CANDY007}

Artist: Goto80
Title: Bravo
Label: Candy Mind Records
Catalog #: CANDY007
Release Date: 2005/06/11

Already a well-known name in the indie scene for his creative and chaotic meddling with old computers, Goto80 continues to bring us some of the most incredible 8-bit sonics of this world.

With the “Bravo E.P.” Goto80 is giving us a hearty and overdriven welcome in “Välkomstvisan”, an addictive “Semieasy” samba adventure and the dark, fuzzy madness of “Wombatman”.

To add some extra flavour to this release we’ve let Goto80 himself do a culinary rework on “Välkomstvisan” and our Liquid Stranger is let loose once again to take “Wombatman” to another dimension. We also give a warm welcome to mr. Hally from Japan who is doing a remarkable NES remix of “Semieasy”.

Cover design by Raul BB at http://www.entter.com

1. VÄLKOMSTVISAN
This release starts of with a warm welcoming message from Goto80 in “Välkomstvisan”, a mad and overdriven party tune with smurf vocals and an altogether happy vibe…and the typical Swedish out of control attitude.

2. SEMIEASY
Prepare for some 8-bit Semieasy samba action. Goto80 takes us to a sunny beach with Piña coladas, palm trees, booty shaking and more Piña coladas. A summer hit!

3. WOMBATMAN
After dark the Wombatman emerges from his dark and filthy cave, spreading his leathery wings before he sets of into the night. Welcome to Wombat land!

4. VÄLKOMSTVISAN (GOTO80 REWORK)
Where the original version of “Välkomstvisan” was all about wild, boozing, rhesus monkey-festivity and waking up in an unfamiliar stairwell with an immense hangover, this remix is welcoming you with a delicious 8-bit banquet. So go on and taste the electronic lobster.

5. SEMIEASY (HALLY REMIX)
Some additional Piña Coladas later Hally delivers his vivid version of “Semieasy”, full of fun and laughter. Krakel Spektakel and Simsalabim!

6. WOMBATMAN (LIQUID STRANGERS DUPLOMIX)
…and Wombatman continues to tour the world in Liquid Strangers cosy, purple duplo-mobile. Smiling as he races from country to country in this jet set journey full of twist and turns and blips and squeals.

Tracklist:
01 – Välkomstvisan
02 – Semiasy
03 – Wombatman
04 – Välkomstvisan (Goto80 Rework)
05 – Semiasy (Hally remix)
06 – Wombatman (Liquid Stranger duplomix)

Trey Smith – No Lemons, No Melon {4four001}

Artist: Trey Smith
Title: No Lemons, No Melon
Label: 4four
Catalog #: 4four001
Release Date: 2005/06/02

After over a year in the wilderness Trey’s awesome tech-house stormers finally see the light of day. It’s been a real crime that these tracks have been buried for so long (although Trey freely admits he didn’t really try hard enough to get them signed). We now offer them to you in the hope that Trey finally gets the credit he deserves. For me the real stand out tracks are Slickboy and Backpeddling, the former a tech-house/electro crossover with a sublimely funky steppin’ b-line, the later being a lush prog-edged groover. That’s not to downplay the quality of the other tracks, I once dropped all five of these in a single set!

Title: you will never see her again
Label: Ansiform
Catalog #: ansi017
Release Date: 2005/06/01

‘you will never see her again’ is the longest contribution to ansiform to date. halcyon pads wash upon a sonic shore and capture the ansiform aesthetic remarkably well. let it play in the background while you work, read, or sleep, and feel how it colors the room…

Mikrokiko – Temporallynonmunito {od075}

Artist: Mikrokiko
Title: Temporallynonmunito
Label: Ogredung
Catalog #: od075
Release Date: 2005/05/30

Mikrokiko’s music sounds like a lukewarm pool of half-sunk clicks, a well-thought blending of dub reconstructive cuts and unpretentious micronoises; a boiling cup of resonating waves, where rhythm and melody fluctuate and eventually meld together. Mikrokiko is a tasteful experience of relaxing minimal noise dub (which is strongly recommended to listen to as a whole), something to enjoy with a glass of something and an expansed mind.

Tracklist:
01 – koffono1
02 – nilotangci
03 – frzeaoo4b
04 – zabmehab
05 – slidimto2

Planet Boelex – Second Thoughts EP {mtk147}

Artist: Planet Boelex
Title: Second Thoughts EP
Label: Monotonik
Catalog #: mtk147
Release Date: 2005/05/29

We’re delighted to present a second EP from Finnish artist Planet Boelex, following his first release for Monotonik in the form of the ‘Sinking In The Soup EP’. Boelex is also known as long-time .MOD artist Tweeter, a noted alumni of early labels such as Voodoo, and continues to delight allcomers with his beautifully composed, wonderfully melodic idm sound – oddly retro, but somehow still relevant.

The ‘Second Thoughts EP’ starts with the slow build of ‘Shower Curtain’, all shimmering melody and regular, gorgeously staged, before ‘Windbreak’ ups the ante with even more gorgeous, smooth electronics, and ‘Seed Of Steel’ vibrates in the air, marvellously circumspect, before we get to the last track, a wonderful remix of ST’s previously Monotonik-released ‘I Met A Girl With Butterfly Wings’, only this time the girl is echo-strewn and distant and inspired and electronic and just so evocative, thanks to the marvel of the Planet that is Boelex.

unknown artist – never a dull moment {ansi016}

Artist: unknown artist
Title: never a dull moment
Label: Ansiform
Catalog #: ansi016
Release Date: 2005/05/28

‘never a dull moment’ is a subtle sine-wave drone accented with gentle fragments of melody and frosted with a soft, creamy distortion. contrary to its title, the entire track is one dull moment – one cozy, dull, entrancing moment that stretches out, then stops before it overstays its welcome.

Girl Boy Moog – Hum The Beat {CANDY006}

Artist: Girl Boy Moog
Title: Hum The Beat ep
Label: Candy Mind Records
Catalog #: CANDY006
Release Date: 2005/05/22

Here we’ve got Girl Boy Moog (a band who took its band name from the three members which is nothing but a boy, a girl and a Moog (a broken Moog that doesn’t work apparently, but nevertheless a Moog.)) and we also got their “Hum The Beat EP” which originally was released in 2001 in a limited edition.

When we asked the members of Girl Boy Moog about re-releasing their masterwork online, as an mp3-release, they said that they really wanted us to do so, cause they lost the tracks a long time ago and wanted to hear the music again themselves…

With “Hum The Beat”, Girl Boy Moog takes us on an unforgettable journey full old trains, cute girls, happy Japanese people and most of all broken Moogs.

1. MORNING EUPHORIA IN TOKYO SUBWAY
Tokyo subway is always busy and full of motion, and this morning is nothing different. But wait!
Everyone’s happy and the station is also full of Japanese people painted in green, red and bright yellow!

2. GETTING ON A TRAIN
Here our train-journey starts. Girl Boy Moog takes up their guitars and sings this song about pretty girls and happy trains. We like it!

3. SHE’S A CATFISH
This is a song about ghost houses, healthy people and communication problems over languages. Who’s a catfish? You’re a catfish? Are there any catfishes at all?? She’s a catfish!

4. ABOUT THE THINGS I HAD TO SAY
Synthesizers, funky guitars, kazoo and Girl Boy Moogs trademark basslines blends in this pretty laidback tune. And Paris is a palindrome. But is it really?

5. HUM THE BEAT
Aren’t you also sitting and humming the beat all day long? Girl Boy Moog is, be sure!

6. TOTTENHAM COURT ROAD (STRAWBERRY ICE MACHINE)
An unforgettable classic, this “Tottenham Court Road (Strawberry Ice Machine). Girl Boy Moog’s singing, “I’ve never been to London.” But we on Candy Mind have heard that the truth is that it’s not true. Apparently both the Girl and the Moog have been to London. The Boy however was forced to stay home. Someone must guard the house you know.

Tracklist:
01 – Morning Euphoria In Tokyo Subway
02 – Getting On A Train
03 – She’s A Catfish
04 – About The Things I Had To Say
05 – Hum The Beat
06 – Tottenham Court Road (Strawberry Ice Machine)
