El Clon :: Falling Rooms (El Clon) // -- // -- Original Instrument :: Original Instrument (Kracfive) www.kracfive.com Original Instrument is about reinventing language, creating a new way of speaking, of transferring ideas and emotions with voices into electronically articulated art-forms. Joe Miragliouolo, Kettel.Drums Reimer, Octopus Inc., and the Colongib collaborate to form "Original Instrument". A piece of exp.electronic music sculpted by voices & other oddities. // -- Somatic Responses :: Accidental Happiness (Component) www.componentrecords.com Somatic Responses latest full-length combines gritty industrial electronics with fierce drum'n bass mayhem to form a thoroughly enjoyable (and dark) album. Electrical spurts of percussion are driven through mud while distorted melodies bend and tweak in every direction. With remixes by Codec & Dryft this 8-track album is well worth the rotation. // -- Other Animals :: Compilation (Couchblip!) www.couchblip.com What do you get when you combine some of the most respected and under-appreciated artists from around the globe to express their passion for exp. Electronic music? Add to this the fact that all artists on "Other Animals" kindly donated their tracks w/ profits going to the Humane Society International. Take a listen, delve into the electrical beauty tucked away & within "Other Animals" & enjoy the elegance of rhythm & melody. Artists include Funkstorung, +One, Bloq, 8-Bit Orchestra, Plod, Fibla, Robokoneko, Disjunction Reunion, and many more!! // -- B9 :: Infiltrator (MusicsysteM) www.musicsystem.dk All the way from Copenhagen we see the fresh bass-infused electro/ drum'n bass of B9. While each track may have a short running time, they are also packed with upbeat electro and danceable grooves that will keep your brain cells enthused for the entire 51 minutes. Funk, soul and electronics molded just right. Invite yourself into the electro-acoustic world on B9's Infiltrator. // -- El Clon :: Falling Rooms (El Clon) xxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx El Clon's music combines indielectronic ambience to structurally intact rhythms. "Sunrise teasing, glowing across the desert, music curling out and shifting, returning, leaving tendrils hanging in the air to transform visions into textures". This is the sound of El Clon.. Spin this CD to discover something new and intriguing in electronic music. // -- Pietro. // // -- DIGITAL::NIMBUS :: exp.electronic RADIO friday night mid-3am (pst) kuci 88.9 fm // -- www.kuci.org & www.digitalnimbus.com // -- p.o. box 443, orange, california, 92856 // -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: xxx-xxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx For additional commands, e-mail: xxx-xxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx
