A. Until My Heart Stops...

B. Kaoz

producer: Jochem Peteri aka Newworldaquarium

note: "[...] Till my heart stops" is probably the older of the two, and has survived the humid environment of the mystical washing facilities rather well. I guess he likes to shower long, but never too long. "Kaoz" is a small part of the now infamous "My old piano" sessions at the hangout of Haarlem DJ-collective Kaoz Connection, which where heavily inspired by KLF, The Orb and J-J-J-jack fever. Named after the always-present Diana Ross evergreen "My old piano" on 33rpm these sets they were a pretty mad mix of live electronics and odd tunes, and always ended in either a neighbourhood riot or a civilized police-request. Unfortunately most of these sets are lost forever, but somehow someone managed to press record while the 154 was doing some serious knob twisting. [...] " - distributor.

Hieroglyphic Being - Machines For Lovers EP [2004, vinyl, spectral sound]

5 october 2004
lbl: Spectral Sound
#: SPC-12
electronic
techno, abstract, experimental, electro, house
320kbps
hubscale: chrysoberyl [8.5]



1. The Strenuous Life
2. Apple
3. Machines For Lovers
4. Sex And Robots



producer - Jamal R. Moss

note: "A deep and jacking look at classic house/techno sculptures, Hieroglyphic Being has tapped into the raw source material of the genre and infused it with new vitality. Inspired by Ron Hardy, and literally educated by legends, Adonis and Steve Poindexter, Hieroglyphic Being carries the torch of Chicago’s history and does so in dramatic fashion.

The EP’s opener “The Strenuous Life” recalls a Scott Joplin rag tune, transposed into the 21st century. While cuts like “Sex And Robots” grind and clank with brilliant syncopation.

An unrivaled voice for modern house music." - Ghostly.

Opto - 2nd [2004, cd, hobby industries]

august 2004
lbl: Hobby Industries
#: HI 016
electronic
abstract, experimental, minimal
256kbps


tracklist:

1.		04.34 a.m.
2.		10.45 a.m.

4.		06.18 p.m.
5.		10.11 p.m.

8.		04.24 p.m.
9.		08.07 p.m.
10.		11.45 p.m.

note: '‘2nd’ is a follow up to ‘Optofiles’, released by the raster-noton label back in 2001. Back in early 2003 Nicolai found an old battered cassette in a forest, north east of Berlin. The tape contained almost inaudible lo-fi recordings of someone playing small guitar pieces intermingled with an unusual forest ambience - noises that would become the template for ‘2nd’. Nicolai got help from assistants to restore the recordings of the found magnetic audiotape and passed the guitar files to thomas who started working on beat structures, eventually adding recordings of a nearby forest to further widen the scope of the project. these recordings were made at different hours during two days, hence the tracktitles - guiding you through 48 hours in about 40 minutes. The result is a haunting, mesmerising siesta, dense and intense static crumbling into a crisp grain of acoustic sounds, traces of piano and loose limbed guitar. If you can imagine a cross between Snd and Max Richter, or maybe Ryoji Ikeda and Sylvain Chauveau, you'll have an idea of what to expect.'

17.		Soul Computer

note: 'Swing Swing is a record as magnificent as it is difficult to place, with electro ramblings around jazz (its subjects and virtues, its spirit and memory), wanderings that are playful, light, fluid in gesture and crammed with ideas, discoveries and intuition; they are at once naïve and instinctive (Repac is an erudite amateur, the Ferdinand Cheval of the already-established world of electronic music), and extremely elaborate in their crushed samples, hallucinatory, rhythmic whirls and sensual, dreamlike atmospheres. There is nothing solemn or sluggish in this evocation of love; it is, rather, an unique way (though you wouldn't think so to see him at work, with that special manner he has of "settling" himself in his times with an unstable balance) of questioning what they call swing - and of offering it, in all humility, a whole range of possible futures.'

let's swing, yea
