Hectopascal – Alive In Veddige {CANDY005}

Artist: Hectopascal
Title: Alive In Veddige
Label: Candy Mind Records
Catalog #: CANDY005
Release Date: 2005/05/07

This is a live adventure of Hectopascal, from the picturesque realms of Veddige. It’s very much, according to them, an improvised one-take story produced with rusty electronic antiquities.

We on Candy Mind are glad to release this unpolished and spontaneous EP; totally free from any pretensions. Ranging from clay music in “Play Doo”, to the hurried count in “Greven Från Köln” and ending with a bang in psychedelic “Svälj Din Saliv”, this is true music, instant lo-fi rock’n’roll electronix!

This release also features remixes from the ruttish Liquid Stranger and chip music hero Dorothy’s Magic Bag.

1. PLAY DOO
Play Doo is nothing but Childhood music made out of clay. Now some advice: just be happy and let all the small clay monsters dance around you and everything will go fine. If not, you’ll put yourself in severe danger.

2. PÅ HAVETS BOTTEN
A crackling waltz from the bottom of the ocean, where the rockweed grows tall and algae are covering the remains of a wrecked drum machine still sending out a weak pulse… and if you listen very closely you may even hear the sound of electronic eels in a distance.

3. GREVEN FRÅN KÖLN
Dressed in cape and armed with his rapier, the count from König comes riding with horse and wagon. Sparkles from the wheels fill the air as he hurries down the cobbled streets. Prepare for some real old school music.

4. KROPPSHYDDA
Let’s leave mother earth just for a short while and experience some quality free-floating in other space. In this tranquil lullaby you might get a glimpse of all kinds of astronomical wonders such as crazy comets and shooting stars.

5. SVÄLJ DIN SALIV
As a final of this live episode, Hectopascal delivers something that is hard to describe as something other than strange. Old 80s toy synthesizers and hand played kick drums battles with strange filter sounds and improvised melodies. And then it all ends with a large explosion… bang!

6. SVÄLJ DIN SALIV (LIQUID STRANGER REMIX)
Instead of listening to the original “Svälj din saliv” Liquid Stranger has been dancing a complex waltz, filled with a lot of inspiration from his lately experience in old style German dances. Join your beloved and dance to all the jelly dolphins the stranger brought us!

7. KROPPSHYDDA (DOROTHY´S MAGIC BAG REMIX)
From our outer space experience of the original version of “Kroppshydda”, we get a return ticket from Dorothy´s Magic Bag and finally end up in a toy store. Here rubber accordions and xylophones in miniature accompany plastic trumpets. Prepare for drama when the Bag goes mental with his secret GM sound library!

01 – Play Doo
02 – På Havets Botten
03 – Greven From Köln
04 – Kroppshydda
05 – Svälj din saliv
06 – Svälj din saliv (Liquid Stranger remix)

Various Artists – Some Candy Before Christmas {CANDY002}

Artist: Various Artists
Title: Some Candy Before Christmas
Label: Candy Mind Records
Catalog #: CANDY002
Release Date: 2004/12/20

The dark winter and the bright Christmas have come to the land of Candy Mind. We are celebrating with this release, trying to capture the feelings and movements of this introspective part of the year.

With “Some Candy Before Christmas”, we are showcasing all different kinds of frosty winter music; from Liquid Strangers December meditation “Ginger bread Juice” to Goto80s Santa’s-toy-factory-journey “Alaska”.
Dance to glittering, glitchy beats with Dorothy’s Magic Bag or chill out with Hectopascal during their Christmas promenade; with some candy, this winter will be something to remember.

1. HECTOPASCAL – TIME
To let you slip into the proper christmas mood, Hectopascal delivers a glimse of true winter bliss with their track Time.
A solemn hymn with lush harmonies and subtle ambiences. A perfect warmup for every kind of x-mas activity.

2. GOTO80 – RELAX ENJOY HELP
It is time for Goto80 to tell us all what Christmas is all about: relaxation, joy and generousity.
This cosy tune comes with an addictive hook and an overall joyful vibe that will make you smile.

3. LIQUID STRANGER – GINGER BREAD JUICE
Even (or especially?) during Christmas time we are in need of some rest and peace. This track is a deep and exploring meditation about the truth of gingerbread and candy syrup.
Hold your hat and follow the mind streams of Guru Liquid Stranger while he is showing us how (and how not) to make some refreshing ginger bread juice.

4. DOROTHY’S MAGIC BAG – FROST
After his stunning releases on Kahvi collective, Dorothy’s Magic Bag joins the Candy Mind crew and delivers a full-fledged christmas stormer. This frosty track is loaded with sharp, crisp beats, epic harmonies and the north wind can also be heard in a distance.

5. GOTO80 – ALASKA
Near the North Pole, on the coldest cape of the Alaska Peninsula, Goto80 is rushing forward on his sledge, toiling and moiling to get all the Christmas presents delivered on time.
Tonight our own 8-bit santa deputy is bustling about the planet, spreading chaos and laughter in all directions.

6. DIN STALKER – RATE YOUR MATE
Din Stalker is showing us a totally different aspect of December; a story about getting lost in snowstorms and then being forced to fight giant evil snowmen.
Join this chilly electronica adventure and find out what really happened to the snowmen, Din Stalker and the last days of December.

7. PALUESTIL – TALADMAI ROAD
Snow is falling down even on the tropical Taladmai road, making its ground and vegetation all white. No one less than Paluestil is there, playing in the snow and sending us a Christmas greeting card to tell us about the tropical snow.
Unfortunately the card was posted to late and will not get there in time. Sorry…

Tracklist:
01 – Hectopascal – Time
02 – Goto80 – Relax Enjoy Help
03 – Liquid Stranger – Gingerbread Juice
04 – Dorothy’s Magic Bag – Frost
05 – Goto80 – Alaska

Hectopascal – Pixies And Pixels {CANDY001}

Artist: Hectopascal
Title: Pixies And Pixels
Label: Candy Mind Records
Catalog #: CANDY001
Release Date: 2004/11/20

As always, putting a label on the music of Hectopascal is really hard, and this release is not an exception. With the Pixies and Pixels EP, Hectopascal is going all the way from beautiful and playful nature scenarios to computer game ninja music and groovy hip hop textures.

This release should give you a clear vision of what we are about as a label; sounds that pushes the boundaries.
Dance, laugh or just chill out, this is music free from care! It will always find the way straight thru your flesh and bone, finding your soul.

1. ONE BIT WONDER
Gliding pads and thundering drum’n’bass beats fit together in this sparkling computer game psychosis.
Sentimental and furious at the same time, this track’s nothing but pure hardcore mind candy.

2. ELAKA DJUR
Stripping the music down to its barest of essentials, Hectopascal is teaming up with the mean street mob to create “Elaka Djur”, an instant groover with hip hop roots.
Sliding in with a fistful of twiddly tricks, this track is bound to get everyone’s attention with its heavy hitting beats, warm thick killer bass and epic addictive chorus.

3. BUMP SET SPIKE
Lush and epic, the bump set spike takes us to a land where pixies and trolls are marching on tiny bridges while small fairies are looking for magical berries and bits and pieces for their mushroom houses.
It’s a happy land, but don’t get lost… in the woods there is an evil witch lurking!

4. LAST COMPUTER GAME NINJA
Prepare for the computer game ninja’s last fight! A sonic war where the classical chip chords and c64-leads are desperately fighting against raging turbo-beats in a final battle for honour.
Watch out for 8-bit shurikens, resonant war cries and exploding fists…

5. KRÅNGEL O KNASTER
Infected by a low-tech virus, this track starts of in the scattered remnants of the battlefield, where both the ninja and every drop of the turbo fuel is long gone.
Broken shredded grooves and wrecked effects are accompanied by a melancholic anthem, slowly rising from the ashes.

6. BUMP SET SPIKE (PSILODUMP REMIX)
While the original bump set spike takes us to the land of the happy trolls, Psilodump is taking us to a far future (with traktor beams and laser hot dogs).
In this sci-fi saga you’ll find epic melodies, dance beats and true heroes with special powers.

Tracklist:
01 – One Bit Wonder
02 – Elaka Djur
03 – Bump Set Spike
04 – Last Computer Game Ninja
05 – Krångel o Knaster
06 – Bump Set Spike (Psilodump Remix)
