Three trapped Tigers - Road One or Die

Those who are familiar with their three EPs to date have already come to expect great things of three trapped Tigers. Sometimes the first versions were too dispersed for their own good, but what is their first album, a route or Die, is a coherent and convincing the off collection and the other with relentless and unwavering focus.

The type of electronica put forward by the trio defies classification, but it is perhaps not necessary all look more far that runway two, trade of noise, for a description Specifies what is this band excels at. The only way of title be more appropriate would be if "Intensive" has been tagged on departure. Runway shows also the extensive ground covered dead - it five minutes later, as it moves beats spacey via developed muted palm on full metal riffs and out the other side with a final of increased euphoria. Rogue disciple reveals a darker with sinister spikes staccato high range matched by low rumbles. It is approximately on the point that you begin to wonder where they can go from here. Answer: from and to the top of the most spectacular way.

It would be difficult to single out a musical element which is most impressive, but it is difficult to ignore the work of Adam Betts stick, something that rarely falls below wonder jaw slack in terms of satisfaction. But no single constituent Assembly would be complete without the context of the other. As a chaotic opening passages, less excessive moments show a surprising flexibility, with contemplative leads to the piano immobility of the Zil acting as quiet to the eye of the storm.

Three trapped Tigers are a group who have been unrushed in their career to date, gradually increasing in intrigue and quality with each version, leaving fans wanting - how - and more. With a route or die, they managed to destroy not only their previous versions, but perhaps something else out in 2011. Not only is it one listen to awaken, with lots of fun to be had hearing assessment peak and subtle sections and fade, but it is even more exciting to speculate on what awaits us in the future of this extraordinary group of musicians.

Electronic

ElectronicThis two-man Manchester supergroup--New Order's Bernard Sumner and the Smith's Johnny Marr--made one of the best debuts of the '90s with Electronic. More New Order than Smiths, the album was a blend of plangent fretwork and frenetic sequencing, with bleak lyrics intoned in Sumner's clean, boyish tenor. "Get the Message" was orthodox '80s pop, but the heartbreaking "Gangster" was an electro-rock masterpiece. The album featured engaging cameos from the Pet Shop Boys on "Getting Away with It" and "The Patience of a Saint". --Barney Hoskyns

The Prodigy did not kill rave, they reanimated Rock 'n' roll

Prodigy-Keith-FlintKeith Flint of prodigy celebrates another fire, Radio 1 big weekend in Swindon, from 2010. Photography: Andy Sheppard/Redferns

It seems unbelievable now, with the prodigyof 20 years of history as figureheads of out of control, hedonistic, hardcore with dedication, dance music, but there was a time where Liam Howlett was accused of murder rave. With their public information films cat-sampling hit techno Charly, "Liam tried sincerely to capture the essence of rave," ran an editorial in the issue August 1992 Mixmag. "The tragedy was, he did. Charly had left the large non-washed in on the exclusive secrets of clubland. "Will we ever remember said Charly as previous generations have known Heartbreak Hotel of Elvis, the Beatles' Penny Lane or even shock London Calling," predicted the editorial. the prodigy answered by the combustion of a pile of Mixmags in their next video.

Buy the CDprodigyliving worlds on fire (CD & DVD)take Me to the Hospital2011

It is a Sunday sunny in 2011 and I played just Charly for umpteenth time. Prodigy and my former employer Mixmag have made long and I remember all the good times that went with this record. Prodigy began as strangers from Braintree decidedly unhip and they remained so, a position which is not kill rave, but he suffered as music requiring external validation to survive. They have helped with its multiple variants becoming folk music true, indestructible of Britain in the 21st century.

There is never any clear of Prodigy, anything designed to please NME, just a constant desire to move stronger, stronger, more offensive. The Central thesis of their Music For The Jilted Generation album, released in the course of the Justice criminal Bill furore in 1994, was concise: "Fuck em and their right!"

Firestarter, since 1996, introduced Keith Flint as the standard of new pop folk-devils. The Fat Of The Land album made massive Prodigy in the USA, a goal which strips the time Britpop had worked towards with little success. Prodigy was out of the bubble dance to supremacy in a field of their own: electronic Rock 'n' roll.

Kraftwerk, electronic music had already his Beatles. Now, he had his Sex Pistols: outrage and excitement, always the same and always different. The Prodigy are still in love with their original obsessions: noise, heat, energy, the abandonment of cancel all glorious in mind which reminds you that you are of flesh and blood. As their centre of gravity moved folders never live shows, clubbers discovered that a concert could be as a rave, with a focal point. And rock kids raised on Oasis or traits has discovered that there was a more relentless form of live entertainment. Next week sees the release of On Fire of the world, a live album from Prodigy and DVD, filmed in the Milton Keynes Bowl, their more wholesale never show, last summer. It shows how they was still, in the best possible way, as the world kept returning to their way of thinking.

Listen to beyond a cat yowling sample and it is not all that great a difference between 1991 and dance of the Warrior of 2008 Charly. Then, or now, the message is the same, and it is the only ever mattered: "come with me to the dance floor / you and me ' cos that's what it is for".

Anthology of Noise 1/Various

Anthology of Noise 1/VariousIn 1950, the Columbia University Music Department requisitioned a tape recorder to use in teaching and for recording concerts. In 1951, the first tape recorder arrived, an Ampex 400, and Vladimir Ussachevsky, then a junior faculty member, was assigned a job that no one else wanted: the care of the tape recorder. This job was to have important consequences for Ussachevsky and the medium he developed. Electronic music was born. Over the next ten years, Ussachevsky and his collaborators established the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center, which Ussachevsky directed for twenty years. It was the first large electronic music center in the United States, thanks to the path-breaking support of the Rockefeller Foundation and encouragement from two of the country’s leading universities. The Center became one of the best-known and most prolific sources of electronic music in the world. All of the music on this historic reissue (originally released on CRI CD 611) is the result of the pioneering work of the Center and its composers. The guest composers and Columbia-associated composers who have produced pieces at the Center include Bulent Arel, Luciano Berio, Mario Davidovsky, Jacob Druckman, Arthur Kreiger, Daria Semegen, Pril Smiley, and Edgard Varese. Ussachevsky’s own students at the Center included Jon Appleton, Wendy Carlos, Charles Dodge, Robert Moog, Alice Shields, Harvey Sollberger, and Charles Wuorinen. Of the seven composers most closely associated with the Center from its early years, six are present on this disc.

An Anthology of Noise & Electronic Music: Third A-Chronology, Vol. 3, 1952-2004

An Anthology of Noise & Electronic Music: Third A-Chronology, Vol. 3, 1952-2004The Sub Rosa label presents the work of Alireza Mashayekhi and Ata Ebtekar/Sote, two essential, key luminaries in the so far very unknown electronic music scene as composed in Iran from the '60s until today. These Iranian music masters work on ancestral structures to create something radically new, travelling around the world as vivid creators, working through the hazards of history. Alireza Mashayekhi (b. 1940) is a pioneer Iranian avant-garde composer whose ideas and works have been performed in his home country and abroad for more than 35 years. Ata Ebtekar aka Sote (b.1972) is an electronic composer, sound artist and recording engineer who is interested in recasting the tuning of Persian classical scales (radif) and melodies from old Persian folk songs within a new electronic framework. Since he has a firm conviction that rules and formulas have to be deconstructed and rethought, he alters some of these modal systems from their original tonality and rhythm. He has released several CDs and vinyls on Dielectric/RLR, Spundae and Warp. Sub Rosa offers you a Persian history lesson that finally exposes this region's rich and significant contribution to the realm of electronic music.

AEROPSIA - Visual snow with auditory heat wave

Aeropsia

Aeropsia is a State where people see "visual snow" or "static television" in part or all of their Visual fields, especially against dark backgrounds.

It will then be 20 years old week (Happy Birthday Dane) and this musician has a flair set to produce its own progressive, the dream style "headphone music", he wants to look intently at the Sun to!? Do not know what will contribute to the aeropsia, but music will certainly turn a blind eye and provide relief of constant "static fuzz" or lifes stressors compatible.

Aeropsia is not the only musical project under his belt, however, it is important to Dane that none of these projects are related to the Aeropsia, as it means that this project should be respected regardless.

Aeropsia explained the inspiration behind his track "dreamstep" first original and infectious "Don't You".

' Don 't You' is the first song that I've done as Aeropsia - it has been fuelled by an event with a silly girl happened this day here. Since I made this song, this style has stuck with me - just explore opportunities with progressive synths on the dub beats and new ways to create the drum and bass. I am very pleased with the sound have developed and to feel more happy to make music for Aeropsia that any of my other projects.

' Don 't You' has a tasty bassline and rhythmic that evokes a State of harmony when I heard on the profile of Soundcloud of Aeropsia. It is no doubt the music to assist in assessing the Sunrise, sunset, and sunshine, wherever you are, and everything you do.

Eric Crusher captures the beauty of the "Unicorn".

The very talented Eric Crusher

Eric crusher aka Marcel wink was born on a sunny November 10, 1981, Berlin.? As all the musicians, he has a love instinctive and following some initial experiments with Hip Hop music as DJ and member of the band, Eric Crusher quickly found the attraction in avant-garde music. With the love of synthesizers and his passion collection record, it became obvious to him that he needed to produce his own experimental music.
With friends SLAP aka moritz Schulz and Erazem the border aka Jonas ullmer, 2006 became the successful year for their music projects. Quickly enough, the three friends were filmed through the Stockholm Europe Bern, where they have thrilled audiences indie. This frisson "triggered the beast" to Eric Crusher, who composed music since 2004 and created the Foundation for his current work.

When writing on the work of musicians, I always take great care and musical, lien on their leaders to work as art is a very delicate and sensitive topic. Any work of art is an authentic expression of the artist and the world they interpret, which in turn, can be interpreted in any way that the listener or observer wants it to mean!? I only write about music that I love as 'a beat le mans is an another mans poison' and I am more than happy to declare that in my world, is not toxic to the music of Eric crushers; It is a natural delight.

First of all, I listened to Eric crushers "Unicorn" on his Soundcloud profile and was immediately drawn in the magic of music and history according to the lyricist, so beautifully expressed by the singer Chloe.? Of the intro, I've been completely hypnotized by the emotional sensitivity of sounds and words.? The Electro Pop track gently expresses the beauty and the vulnerability of the fairy tale romance, which can be compared to that of the legendary 'Unicorn'. "

TheUnicorn w/Chloe - unmastered by Eric crusher

I consider myself as a very lucky lady heard "Unicorn" and further more this superb and stylish Downtempo track 'Sifun' featuring the incredible voices of Ira Atari.

sifun w/Ira atari (Germany) by Eric crusher
The composer and producer Eric Crusher works with singers and musicians who invent the same dedication and love of music as it, again and again. Quality, not quantity is motto of Eric Crusher, and he sees the music for the "art of livin." Eric is currently a member of the band. If I was a musician in or around Berlin, I would certainly give him a call!

Planningtorock-In

Those who arrive in door - the way of the opening of the W, second album of Planningtorock - with no prior of his architect knowledge may be rather surprised to discover that early, baroque display on malice in fact comes courtesy of a woman who has spent his youth to grow up in Bolton. Janine Rostron seems to revel in this confusion, playing with roles of the identity of provocatively, challenging the notions of conventional sexuality to the point as a song entitled I am Your Man even the video for door it is with a mask that manages to make him look like Mr Spock's glamorous sister.

But, although it is often confusing, W is also thoroughly captivating, creating an alternative musical universe in the same way as the knife, the Swedish Act with which she has collaborated on opera Unattractive tomorrow in a year. Obviously at home in the studio, Rostron imagines a world melodramatic darkly of shadows and elegant metal edges, its industrial electronic adjustment and semi-gothic manner similar to the current happy critical EMA and Zola Jesus. Unlike them, however, Rostron refused ham, using technology to stretch his voice unrecognizable forms that hold a hearing at a distance and make her almost robotic, as well a part of the artificial environment than the machines it uses.

Therefore when its idle-The Breaks down song offers lines such as "don't be surprised," I am ripping on my eyes… "Break us too easily", the replicants of Blade Runner that come to mind. This is emphasized by arrangements reminiscent of the orchestration of lush of Vangelis' soundtrack of the film Legend of Ridley Scott, with strings pizzicato and saxophone nestled in the brooding soundscapes Going Wrong and Milky Blue and Black Thumber magic images of the epic of observations.

There are many other trickery disturbing going on: Jam is an experience in changing key synth, metallic percussion and nightmare song, Janine a minimalist cover of an old piece of Arthur Russell made with nothing more than a synth bass rumbles and another fell voice. But living It Out is a playful pop song by giorgio moroderdebt, while that apparent could be the 21st century take on bow wow wow. James Murphy ( LCD soundsystem) decision to sign this creature changing to DFA Records form is perfectly logical given its mixture of art, electronic and mischievous humour, and while it is undeniably a world foreign Rostron lives, it is a quite compelling one.

Dinner at the Thompson - off-line

A quiet leftfield success, reflected, for the fans of the genus formerly trip - hop. Daryl easlea 2011-05-20

Dinner at the Thompson - FabLive of French DJ/producer and singer Lucille Tee - begin to work together in 2005. Feted by people such as Gilles Peterson, intelligent mixture of the duo of jazz-influenced hip hop, funk and electronica has been one of the best underground successes of recent years.

Off of the grid is more of the same suite Lifetime on planet Earth, 2007, with its impeccably selected samples and claustrophobic arrangements. This is an album that reveals its wealth in a mode quietly. Only How Can I have all the rebound of The brand new Heavies , in their first siren-heavy while all begins manages to balance the unconformity and melody perfectly. Western Spaghetti, with its French interludes of spoken word, tribute to ennio morriconeand Serge gainsbourg moody magnificence.

The alvum is most successful when the duo are joined by special guests. Stones Throw rapper Guilty Simpson appears on rice ' n beans, best song of the album - on background interruptions, funk loaded, gritty rap Simpson adds gravitas vocal of the Tee. Veteran singer Lee fields anime even different beings, who, apart, arrangement doesn't sound not unlike a classic unreleased soul of 1972. A similar sense of deja vu occurs with the old school slow jam are you Love. A pace almost burial, it evokes the two Of Isley Brothers'Lovin' sensuality' and Minnie ripertons you.

Less successful is tee to rap about what it takes, which highlights the main fault of the album - sometimes, although elements are in place, it is simply enough original step. I am sure that the sample "ah, yeah" is in the mix, ironically, but it seems that you have discovered just a group of rock white trying to get "fonky" back in 1988.

With its lazy beats and vocals sensual nightclub, Off the Grid may have been released at any point in the past 20 years. While it does not break the ground calculate, it is well written songs designed to be played live. Not really revolutionary, is a quiet, thoughtful, leftfield success for fans of the genus formerly trip - hop. as the dive store vinyl downtown trendy at the turn of the century.

SebastiAn - Total

A superb beginning of French producer, setting the bar very high for 2011 dance albums. Mike diver 2011-05-23.

With a second album on the horizon and daft Punk Justice studio phenomenal soundtrack for Tron: legacy trim graphics dance on both sides of the Atlantic towards the end of last year (surprisingly, the score has been neglected at the Oscars)It seems appetites for beats Francais hearty rest - even 14 years after the rush of dizzying head of working from home.

Although active since 2005, born in Boulogne electro-head Sebastian Akchote did not follow his compatriots of the same style in long-player territories - until now. Total, his first album (with package featuring artist Kiss itself), has been long in coming, the reputation of Sebastian a remixes perhaps before its quality to act solo. No: Total is a brilliant breathlessly set that whips the listener in this way and that, jumping between styles with confidence. There is house and techno, funk and soul silken futuristic and even shake the skull Drum'n ' bass Recalling the heavy output of the Dutch trio Noisia.

Love in motion, one of the only two titles of functionality, a singer invited (in this case, mayer hawthorne), is an early nail immediately grabbing, coming as the pair technological intrusion on purple onecomplex Paisley Park. This is superb, song Hawthorne treated to the extent that it could be anyone singing-, but their presence ensures that the track feels organic to a large part of the sci-fi-disco fare as follows. Fried is cut very similar to Noisia, specifically their brutal single machine-gun. Doggg combines digital Crackle with electric guitar crunch (imagine the prodigy , in collaboration with Mr oizo), and the engine triggers flashbacks to 16 bits of the classic road rash - paste of your competitors, optional strings.

M.I.A.’presence of s does not provide much to procedures, but that its contribution to the C.T.F.O. sounds more vital that the vast majority of his latest album, confused, Maya, is revealing. It is the most obvious entry point to this LP for the newcomer, but it is nowhere near his best time; and that it exceeds a large part of the content of Maya will show what producer is an excellent Sebastian. Funk has yet implemented once highlight Embody and training cut - paste Arabest - both are without engaging effort and ensure obtain any person swinging.

There are moments where Total nearly comes a pastiche of Daft Punk. But these are rare, and there is enough character of Sebastian Show until this one of the most enjoyable dance albums of 2011. Justice, your pitch

Electronic Saviors: Industrial Music to Cure Cancer

Electronic Saviors: Industrial Music to Cure CancerOpening with Clara Rockmore's reworking of Tchaikovsky with the theremin, and finishing with one of Brian Eno's ambient soundscapes, OHM artfully succeeds in its goal of giving a representative (as opposed to the impossible, comprehensive) overview of the first several decades of electronic music. Over 3 discs, 42 compositions, and 96 pages of notes and photos, OHM clearly illustrates the producers' and contributing writers' point that early electronic music is much of the foundation of contemporary music. Herein lies the connective tissue bridging musique concrete, 20th-century classical, electronic experimentation, and the theoretical avant-garde to psychedelia, ambient, dub, techno, electro, and synthpop and the globalization of sound. The groundbreaking uses of loops, sampling, drones, remixes, and cut-and-paste technology are put fully into context. The diversity of music included makes any sort of summation impossible, but that is also the point: electronic music is not really a genre, but an open field of endless possibility. From John Cage's famous "William's Mix" of tape snippets to Karkheinz Stockhausen's electronic orchestral compositions, from David Tudor and Holger Czukay's experiments in unrelated blendings of audio elements to David Behrman's supremely peaceful duet between computers and musicians, the aural renegades on OHM tread where none (save a few of their contemporaries) had gone before. The liner notes convey the incredible amount of hard work and experimentation it took to stitch together many of these pieces in the predigital era. Putting aside the inevitable quibbles about what's missing (much of it due to legal and/or logistical issues), a more complete collection of musical eggheads, eccentrics, and visionaries is hard to imagine. --Carl Hanni

New Music For Electronic And Recorded Media: Women In Electronic Music-1977

New Music For Electronic And Recorded Media: Women In Electronic Music-1977The music on this album exhibits an exciting, wide-open, freewheeling approach to the medium of electronic music which has come to be typical of this genre in the late 1970s. No longer are composers obsessively concerned with the agonizing, expressionistic, and purely "electronic" (synthesized) sound formulas which marked much of this music composed between the mid Fifties and the late Sixties. Instead, today we have composers willing to mix media and sonic materials in thoroughly inventive ways to achieve ends which are new-sounding, and often more engaging, than that of the "academic" avant-garde. This is the outgrowth of a fundamental change in concerns which has been evolving not only among members are some of themost fecund and inspired. These new wources of inspiratin cerainly werer not as widely shared fifteen years agao. Several composers represented here are deeply concerned with Eastern musics and their subsequent metamorphoses into such popular forms as rock and roll. Still others bring to bear a sense of wit and satire, rarely a prominent feature of avant-garde music in the early 1960s. This first anthology of women's electronic music demonstrates great refinement and skill at work in a variety of different styles, several of which are unfamiliar or new even to those who follow contemporary music. The fact that these pieces are more listenable than that of the Sixties avant-garde does not point to a musical regression as some critics have overeagerly assumed when discussing modern works using, say, consonant harmonic structures. -Charles Amirkhanian, August 1977 (This recording was orginally issued as CRI CD 728)
