Electronica Unplugged review

Electronica Unplugged.

I don't completely remember how i open aerotone netlabel and there releases for you self, but remember exactly what feelings they aroused in me...

I am planed to review most of  aerotone releases, and at first i tell you about two beautiful various artists compilation called Electronica Unplugged.

 The first of it was released in 2006 and contains 10 tracks, Second was released in 2007.
 Electronica Unplugged is a best name for this compilation which only can be invented, because i can not accurately describe the genre differently than  electronica unplugged.

There is a few track that very inspired me:

Track "Nunns rd." by "Winterpark" us still my favorite song ever, and i can't explain why. I am just can listen it every time.

 "Talk about you" by "The Banjo Consorsium" very unusual mix of acoustic and electronics gives the whole a very pleasant sounding.

Subgenre as like "Drop" by "Akira Kosemura" i called piano miniatures for my self, usually contain minimal piano track and noise or field records.

 I love every songs made by "Bersarin Quartett" at the same i love every songs made by "Your Hand In Mine" it's just a great artists.

 "Now it´s over" my second favorite track made by "Roll Film", true combination of electronica and unplugged ;)

... and for other tracks i just don't have a good level of my english, so i just recommend listen it and make you own verdict.

Unfortunately after aerotone reboot, those release non exist on label any more. But you can't find on  www.archive.org . Have a nice listening!

brunk – winter ep review


brunk – winter ep

brunk is the solo-project of Bert Vanden Berghe, homerecording musician, born in 1977 and now living in Ghent, Belgium. Bert started with brunk in 1998; he just wanted to record and experiment with music in a free way, without stylistic restrictions or a predefined direction. 

The “winter ep” contains 4 tracks with a complete duration of 21 minutes, recorded in February 2008 and released at Resting Bell netlabel in 26.03.2009.

"Laika's view" is a seven min track going first on ep, consists of drones waves play and faint guitar and field records. All together fill a great  picture in my mind.

"surrounding" beautiful combination of acoustic and overdrive guitar.

"zon in februari" Very interesting track, if I did not know I would have thought that this live performance at cafe  or something

When i listen "nachtwandeling" the last track on ep, imagine western movie or shots lake man goes through desert.

verdict: winter ep is a good-looking release.
