Mon, 08 Feb 2010 23:59 GMT http://www.connexionbizarre.net/podcast_a.htm Danny Prusseit and Toni Polkowski prove themselves as masters in the field of IDM carving a niche with this latest release from Impulsive Art, "Trigger Event", a release which sets the mood for waltzes through dark flickering hallways in a neon metropolis. This is the soundtrack for the modern cyberpunk fan. Mon, 08 Feb 2010 23:58:00 GMT http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews.htm Although it's frustrating I admire the way in which the producer presents this as a formal exercise in listening and attempts to claim the listener's attention for the duration (if not always successfully). There's extensive use of found sound here and a sense of some obscure narrative unfolding in a way more typical of musique concrete than of industrial. Mon, 08 Feb 2010 23:58:00 GMT http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews.htm Over four tracks Scum From The Sun do tend to dabble more with the psychedelic than anything else; slick bass lines and hypnotic, but unchallenging drum structures for the most part give way to trippy drugged out sounding synth structures that whir and spiral on their way to some other plane of existence; and to be honest you don't want anything over the top from the rhythm sections when dealing with this genre of music. Mon, 08 Feb 2010 23:58:00 GMT http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews.htm Elektrotribe shows potential to continue releasing good and diverse techno, ready-made for the nonstop Berlin party scene, though whether it ever rivals established and innovative label peers like Kompakt and BPitch Control remains to be seen. Mon, 08 Feb 2010 23:58:00 GMT http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews.htm Maybe I have missed the point with too totally opposite forces working with each other (or against) on such a release, but neither then do I really have the gumption to get bothered about that either.
