Now available from EXP022 - BRTLMN - QUININE EP Muzak from hell... 60's spy themes... The club scene from Fire Walk With Me... These are all things that could MAYBE come close to describing "Onublauxe", the opening track from BRTLMN's 'Quinine' EP. With this work, BRTLMN has broken even his own threshold for the strange and awkward, yet the heart of the recording is surprisingly lucid and stripped down. This is not throwing feces at a canvas to see if it will stick. This is, on many levels, the art of re-constructing deconstruction. At times, the music subtracts itself into just a lonely slow oscillating rhodes. at times, it builds itself into a chaotic mashup of what seems like different takes on a theme. BRTLMN even dares to venture into the land of hip-hop... with stunningly tasteful and head-nodding results. This is simultaneously BRTLMN's most accessible AND abstract work to date, and only makes the listener more intrigued in what lies ahead. EXP023 - GRASSHOPPA - LOST IN GRAY MATTER EP From the second you hit play, you know it's on. This EP is a 37 minute no-holds-barred attack on your eardrums. The beats are relentless in their insistence, and the melodies and pads are about as overflowing and volcanic as you could imagine. Simply put, this is expressionist drill 'n' bass. the songs are extremely glitchy and fast-paced, yet hang in the air like a haze around your sphere of perception. Thin, bell-like chiming and strumming floats on a thick rockbase of orgy-like percussion. "Drown In Lena River" takes you on a ride through a funhouse of contrasting organic plant-life, while "owiiFF" seems to struggle just to maintain its own static form. The pieces come off, ultimately, as having a natural child-like wonder, and an awe and a playfulness that other artist struggle to pretentiously invent in their music. |

EXP024 - HYDROPLANE - HYDROPLANE LP Words like abstract, absurd and weird are used everyday to describe the unknown or unusual. Hydroplane's debut LP for Experimedia is all of those things and more. Shuffling, gurgling beats spiral around skeletal arpeggios and awkwardly sliced samples, creating a demented taffy-like effect over the albums 11 tracks. Pieces like "Argag" create such an air through the lunatic repetition of voices and playful mallet sounds, that the listener often feels as though some powerful psychadelic drug has been slipped to them unknowingly approximately 20-40 minutes ago. By the time "Morguray" drops, you've had sufficient time to pour yourself a cold beverage and rub ice on your confused brain, as you watch the sunset from a deckchair on a white beach. Finally, the LP's closer, "Outro", ultimately leaves the listener feeling drained and yet oddly fulfilled... ready for whatever comes next. |

There's a Kris Kristofferson song I like, Sunday morning coming down, it goes a little something like this... Well I woke up Sunday morning with no way to hold my head, that didn't hurt and the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad so I had one more for dessert Then I fumble through my closet for my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt and I shaved my face and combed my hair and stumbled down the stairs to meet the day I'd smoked my brain the night before and cigarettes and songs that I've been pickin' but I lit my first and watched a small kid cussin' at a can that he was kicking Then I crossed the empty street and caught the sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken and it took me back to somethin' that I'd lost somehow somewhere along away Chorus: On a sunday mornin' sidewalks wishing Lord that I was stoned 'cause there is something in a sunday that makes a body feel alone And there's nothin' short of dyin' half as lonesome as the sound on the sleepin' city sidewalks Sunday mornin' comin' down |

I dont believe you. You used a period at the end of your sentence and that implyed a lack of enthusiasm. You should have used an exclamation point.... would have worked better. Ah well! |

"The pieces come off, ultimately, as having a natural child-like wonder, and an awe and a playfulness that other artist struggle to pretentiously invent in their music." Whatever this refers to makes me want to go deaf. |
