This compilation is featuring a mix of minimal, darkwave, new wave, synthpop and synthwave from 12 Swedish artists.
Solo project from Fukuoka, Japan. Making “Mutant Wave” music, combining minimal synth, coldwave with ’50s/‘60s primitive and obscure R’n’R sounds using vintage KORG synths and drum machine. The two titles are quite similar in sound, but complementary in style. “Prinzipielle Sicherheit” is very punchy, four-to-the-floor and danceable. The dominant bassline is joined by a punctuated sub-bass, which dynamizes the track. The vocals are heavily processed, seem metallic, machine-like and also give “Prinzipielle Sicherheit” a threatening note. “Der letzte Gang” is certainly not a dance track. Hans Uran and a second voice sing/discuss death, and this is also transported musically as a walk “up to the scaffold”. The title seems at first somewhat arhythmic, but reveals itself on closer listening as a deliberate staccato that seems to musically implement the trembling, the duty to the end. [Damals on Discogs] |
