Analog adventures into lo-fi territories. “Roulathèque” was composed and produced between July 2019 and September 2020 in Montreal, Canada. It was one hell of a ride!

With its infectious bass and poignant synth lines, interwoven with themes around the complexity of modern day living in an often impersonal world, Crystalline Stricture’s pure analogue sound is beautifully constructed and played from the heart. “My Precious…” is a compilation presented by the WAVES radio show, and released by Red Maze Records, both based in Brussels, Belgium. The curators, Fernando Wax and Phil Blackmarquis, selected new, exclusive and unreleased gems from favourite bands and artists in the wave / post-punk / synth / electro / ambient styles. Here’s the latest Hertz-Schrittmacher compilation featuring Nao Katafuchi, The Ottoplast, Echo West, Kinder Aus Asbest, Aska, Luminance, Novosti Kulturi, Pleasure System, Staatseinde, Björn Peng, Tilly Electronics, Mojo Beatnik and Angleter. Through its songs, the album concentrates on the fundamental issue of whether rituals are a necessary part of all societies. Rituals in a classic sense, do not really exist in modern Western society, but some of these present-day routines repeated by individuals and groups have now become “Toxic Behaviours” in unexpected areas of our modern life. In its exploration of these modern rituals, the album examines the symbolism behind technological conquests, dead generations, urban violence, superficiality, and vanity. |
