Phrizzm, WOW! amazing EP!!

I just got Phizzms new EP and its flawless! Havent been
this excited by a release since I dont know when, maybe
Ultravisitor. Im really looking forward to a full album and
I hope he release one soon.

The only thing that im a bit disspointed with is that the
"small comfort" track is so short!?!? its one of the best
tracks I ever heard in my life (just like Roygbiv from BOC,
they said something like "it was our intention to make it
short, because beautiful is short, we knew everybody woul
want it longer")

2 min is waaay to short for a beautiful track like that. It
could have atleast been 6 min :) Anyway the EP is AMAZING!
not one weak track! Every track is melodic and sweet for the
ears.

thanks Phrizzm for a wonderful EP! :)

It is hard to bracket such original and musical electronic
music, as Prhizzm's direct influences (Mouse on Mars, Orb,
Pink Floyd) only hint at the overall musicality. What is
unique, and executed in an expert manner, is the writer's
ability to build on a basic idea to the point where there
could be 3 or 4 tracks within the one. Start / Middle /
End: something that is sadly rare in today's library of
electronica "stars". Prhizzm redefines the attitude and
approach to making electronic music and is careful to
introduce as much of the human touch as possible (regular
use of live instruments). These are SONGS, and it is
perhaps telling that the audio adventures of Floyd in his
childhood still echo in his music today via style and
attention to detail.

Prhizzm releases what has to be the most powerful debut
electronica ep to date.

this is actually pretty nice! A shame Benbecula records are
always nowhere-to-find in my neigbourhood.

there's a secret track on it too, if you 'rewind' from the
start of track one.

yes that track is lovely ;)

minutiae is the weakest track on it imo, but that track is
still DOPE!

I prefer the simplicity of the first half of the track but
still very nice! Very elegant melody.

I totally agree with the opening comments
about this EP, i've had it in the CD-player
for several weeks and it simply does not
want to escape. Here's a little more info..

-- --
Prhizzm :: The Prhizzm EP (Benbecula, CD)

((( Read full review )))

"...Built from granulated layers of synthetic
sounds and micro-movements of particles, The
Prhizzm EP is a joyous explosion of electronic
ephemera that is both sagacious in its construction
and innocent in its expression..."

I'm actually not a huge fan of this album..... I like it,
and is, by far the second best album in 2005, but it just is
all starting to sound the same to me....
