André Estermann Simstim ep Tracklisting: Simstim. Kit. Vector. Falcone. Journey. Mentha Arvenis. Note: For fans of André previous ep on Musik Aus Strom, Funkstörung, and perhaps Jega's first ep on Skam. "Simstim" Starts out with a style almost like what Michael Fakesch does rhythmically where the beats are chpped up in various places. The melody is quite chipper and exhibits a happy quality thoughtout the track. "Kit" The melodies are the driving force which sets the tone for the whole track. Much like the previous track. "Vector" This is a much more gritier track that pulls out all the stops with Sci Fi washes thats come in and out and a violen-like melody on top. "Falcone" A short track. Starts with some odd noices flowing in and out changing ever so slowly. A pause... then more of a grtty rhythm along with happy melodic strings and then powers down. "Journey" This reminds me of the Jega's first ep in terms of melody. Simple rhythm consisting of bass and snare. Its a pleasant track. If you like the" Naem" track from the "Type Zero" ep by Jega, you might like this as well... or, those ambient washes Global Communication is so good at. It really makes you sit down and listen. "Mentha Arvenis" The last outing is a darker rendition of what André can do. Stretched out melodic strings upon bell-like rings with a light hiphop-ish beat. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
