Phasmid – The Sun Pictures {mtk074}

Artist: Phasmid
Title: The Sun Pictures
Label: Monotonik
Catalog #: mtk074
Release Date: 2002/03/06

The second Monotonik release from the dreamily different Phasmid, straight outta Birmingham, Alabama, travelling circuitously via Analog-town and Kraftwerk-ville, straight into our ever eager ears.

Phasmid should be congratulated on both the birth of his third kid (yay!) and his two forthcoming releases on the Skylaboperations label, which include remixes by Bochum Welt and the similarly saintly Isan.

More analytically, “The Sun Pictures” was a particular fave of the Monotonik crew from the moment we heard it. From the starting cicada chirps to the truly serene lead line, it hooks you in to the sunny day mood, and won’t let you go til you’re enthused with burble energy. Fly high into your sky with your hifi, sunny picturesque style?

Phasmid – Petting Zoo EP {mtk064}

Artist: Phasmid
Title: Petting Zoo EP
Label: Monotonik
Catalog #: mtk064
Release Date: 2001/10/29

For some reason, we sat on the demos Phasmid sent us for a few months. Then we listened again and smacked ourselves upside the head for not putting out the US idm-er’s material, like, _immediately_. Why? It’s the missing link Monotonik may have been needing, a bridge between laid-back traditional melodics and something a little more unconventional and new.

So, welcome to Phasmid’s skewed world-view courtesy of “Heroine Of Goat Bells”, all Plone-ish weird instruments and out-there multi-tracked melodies, moving on to “The Smallest Ghosts”, which encompasses subtle klangs, crashes, and childlike leads, whilst “Cheeky50” finishes off in crazily mechanical style, all whistles, rattles, and wheezes. Gotta love the Phasmid style.
