VARIOUS "Switches" cd - 2004 - Audiobulb: Exploratory Electronic Music (AB-004) A fine new label from the UK (Sheffield), with a fifteen-track v/a compilation of adventurous new electronic listening music which is most often a-rhythmic, often even ambient (rather than clicks 'n' cuts styled). The eerie, FFWD-like "Breath holding on to a window" by Autistici, one of the highlights, is a good example of how the album sounds. A few tracks may have a hard time avoiding clichés, e.g. Bllix, Room and Diagram of Suburban Chaos have done little more than emulate Ae, EU and Plaid, but most of the tracks evolve from oysters to lilies as they open up after a few listening rounds, e.g. "Large open spaces" (Oti), "Singalong Tammy" (Marion), "Content" (Rodolphe Küffer) or "Half asleep" (Prhizzm). The hidden, fifteenth track is by Autistici and its title is "Invisible switches on a hidden wall". For those of you who were hoping ambient still had something in store, or for those into IDM electronica without too much of that 'D' ingredient. |
