review Good Weather for an Airstrike - A Winter


Good Weather for an Airstrike - A Winter

Tom Honey's Good Weather For An Airstrike project began at the beginning of 2009 as a means to relieve the tinnitus issues he was suffering with at the time. His main goal was to create a collection of relaxing sounds that would help induce sleep.

A Winter EP is a three lullaby tracks ambient with post-classic sound. Is easy listening and very calm. Good to fill empty sound place in your home and must be in sleepy play list. 


 Released 14/01/11 at rural colours net label.

review Turnus - valedictions ep

Turnus - valedictions ep

Turnus is Nicolas Engelhardt, born 1977 in Dortmund/Germany.


Valedictions ep is a first and last Turnus release in 2005 on aerotone net label (and like i said before - not exist any more).
Headphones and chair - thats all you need to disappear in his music.
This music is really motivation to work as well as good just for walking or relaxing. Music very melodic and feature all you can imagined: pads, beats, vocal, guitar, even a field records. All six track from ep is my favorite, but best of the best for me is "valedictions II" combination of orchestra and a soft distortion guitar with nice beats.  

Turnus also featured one track on v/a compilation "soundtrack for your wedding" and make one remix on Bobby Baby track.

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.
