Resumo 2005 - parte 1

Este principio de ano tem sido magnifíco, grandes albums tenho ouvido. Eléctronica, sons mais virados para as guitarras, África, ambientes de sonho e de guerra, tudo tem passado por aqui. Näo tenho um album preferido mas sim, uma duzia (que até podia ser mais). Comecando no ambiente do senhor Marsen Jules, passando pelo Hip Hop experimental dos 13 & God e acabando no caos e sofoco do senhor Venetian Snares.



13 & God - 13 & God, lp.cd [Alien Transistor / Anticon] Electronic, Hip Hop, Experimental

13 + God, the band, are six music-fed bodies coming together for a first crack at making something from nothing. At the helm of their self-titled debut LP are two schools of thought: the balloon-and-burst child psychology of Adam “doseone” Drucker, Jeffery “jel” Logan, and Dax Pierson (collectively themselves), and the pinhole-in-paper astronomy of the Acher brothers Markus and Micha, and Martin “Console” Gretschmann (the core of the Notwist). All connections formal and former cast aside, this half-dozen form a transcontinental supergroup of very human proportions: American angst and honest ability, German composition and countryside chill, and the simple recurring universal urge to locate oneself within the folds of time and place.

AGF/Delay - Explode, cd [AGF/Delay] Electronic, Experimental, Minimal

AGF/Delay marks a further coming together of Finland's Abtye Greie and Vladsilav Delay, more or less shunning the respective styles and genres with which they are generally associated, AGF/Delay instead takes the day-to-day snippets of modern culture which we all unconsciously hoover up (glimpses of news stories, half-heard conversations on the bus etc.) and distils it through a musical filter which takes in dub, electronica, microscopic emissions and even chamber music.

Alva Noto + Ryuichi Sakamoto - Insen, cd [Raster-Noton] Electronic, Minimal

"With Insen, Alva Noto (aka Carsten Nicolai) and Ryuichi Sakamoto continue their collaboration which started with Vrioon their debut album released in 2003 and voted record of the year 2004 in the electronica category by The Wire. Particular interest was shown in Alva Noto’s creation towards a new synergy of acoustic piano and digital post production that had not witnessed before, in his approach and interpretation of Sakamoto’s piano clusters."
