Every so often an artist comes along who pushes a medium right to the edges of its possibilities. Alan Currall is one such artist. His process driven modular synth is constructed in moments of true improvisation, so that once made, it cannot be repeated. This is synth that tells the story of its own creation. Every Alan Currall release on TONN Recordings is beautiful, surprising, and risk taking. Hambourg’s electro duo Fallbeil composed by Wosto and Kluentah, is still pretty unknown despite they’ve been releasing a bunch of EP and a couple of LP on label like Mannequin, Killekill sub-label Boidae or New York Haunted and more recently on their own label Teerpappe to name a few. Wosto, long time Macadam Mambo’s collaborater (Danzas Electricas vol. 2 & 3), sent us demos of what sounds very like « what Drexciya would realease on Bunker Records », a compilation of irresistible dark atmospheres slow electro tunes with very raw textures, complemented by few little skits to generate a brilliant album around the story of the Mockturtle. It’s rought as it should be! |
