Nulleins - Freeway EP [THN020]
Release date: 08.10.2002
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Nulleins aka Markus Dolic delivers another superb atmospheric
dubhouse-with-trance-elements (!) release called "Freeway EP". Full of
phased chords, delayed glimmer stabs, lights and dark blue coloured,
this release is intended to get listened to while driving cabrio car,
as the tracktitles say. "Departure" starts with subtle mellow phased
chords until the out run starts with a heavy flat kickdrum. With a
heavy taste of acid, "Sunset" works best at sunrise when the first
sunspots arise to tweak your feelings. Heavy resonance-tranced blurry
break in the middle of the track. Might also guide you through tubes
and tunnels. Strong kick and delayed dubstabs on "Cruise" which evolves
suspiciously hit-potential. A big wave to ride on. "Last Exit" is pure
mellowness on portamento touches, very cloudy: last exit to heaven - or
infinity?

Out now on Fukk God: FUKK GOD 013

J. Lindgren - Flyktig likt röken från förtvivlans fladdrande flamma.
MP3+PDF

It's not uncommon among those in the know to refer to the work of J. Lindgren as genious, even though for some reason his work is still fairly unknown, something we here at Fukk God try our damndest to change. Therefor we are happy to announce the follow-up to "The Tender Boughs of Innocense Burn First" (and part two in the Fire trilogy) that we unleashed to critical acclaim earlier this year. This new ep, entitled "Flyktig Likt Röken från Förtvivlans Fladdrande Flamma", features 20 minutes of Jonas' trademark textured drones fuled with some faint melodies and delicate field recordings, joined together into a stunning, melancoly and at times nostalgic
soundtrack of grey october skies.

Also this means that Prelude to Nothing EP by Winquist Virtanen is going offline.

Strongly enhanced in composing and harmonies the completly-hardware
based duo Neurotron from Northern Germany delivers four delightful
deephouse tracks. Encased by romantic harmonica leads and subtle
minimal detroit warmness a la Terrence Parker, "Inside Radiometer" is a
deepblue mover with strong 909 patterns and a frosty reverbed pad. The
faded harmonica leads make this track infinately floating. "Texture Of
You" fades in distance and keeps the reduced vibes through the song.
Minorly modulated sound modelling and the delayed stringdots aswell as
the closed hihats later on keep this track moody detroity. "Der
Tonimpulszyklus" is a track purely dedicated to the floor. Overwhelming
strings and a bouncing house beat keep this track pushing straightly -
monotone like Theorem but effective. "Dwell", similar to "Texture Of
You", has very detroity elements in it, but in its overall structure
reminds me more of Steve Bug or efforts by RaumMusik. In support to
Moritz von Oswald: Round Four! Big props to Benfay for the mastering of
this release in Summer 2002.

V/A - CONSTRUCTIONS FOR ANDREY KIRICHENKO
12 tracks :: 54min 5sec :: 78.05 MB
----------------------------------------------------------------------

As the title already says, this release contains 12 pieces of
constructions from Andrey Kirichenko samplematerial and is dedicated to
Andreys highly acclaimed "00.00" album. Artists from the direct
Autoplate roster, like UndaCova, EtcEtc, 833-45, Rngmnn or Stefan
Koopmanschap aswell as familiar names and new talents like Object
(Kevin Bolster), Xenoton from the Tonatom.net Netlabel, Kotra from
Nexsound, Anton Dimitrov from Urban Magazine/Acid Fake Labelowner,
Violet/Zeromoon.com and last but not least rewarded
painter/multi-musician Heath Yonaites/Triumvirate honoured Andreys
efforts and contributed with their very own interpretation of the basis
samples. Objects "Nocturne" is a fine oscillating sine-circuit and its
pleasently to get entertained by this digital mash. Stefan Koopmanschap
edited a loop and added minor fx bitcrushing. Rngmnn who is best
settled to dark industrial ambient environments transformed the theme
of AKs album to his point of view - distant bleeps and syntax errors.
UndaCovas careful use of the material and shy idm-beginnings keep the
lost-into-music feeling past midnights: a very strong developing
interpretation of "Polnoch". After his Sketch-Album on Arghprkl,
EtcEtcs returns with his original fun-idmgabbanoise and delivers a
short, mad, shy and sunny (!) cutoffmonster. Xenoton, who might still
sound unfamiliar to most listeners, is a german composer who released a
well-rated cd on his own label "TonAtom". His construction for AK
reveals Xenotons synth/ebm roots. The warmest construction comes from
Vancouver Radio-signal scientist 833-45 who surprisingly put the
attention of his work on the moody stringleads. Sounds melancholic for
me - a familiar feeling for all nerds out there who are awake during
midnight. EtcEtcs 2nd construction is a serious dark and windy
ambientnoise arrangement. Kotra, who is related to the direct
surrounding field of AK and, same as him, a protagonist of the
Ukrainian dsp-scene, composed a piece which focuses on
hertz-frequencies and a fragile sonic-spectrum, i guess influences by
Alva Noto can be heard here - a very good construction i think!
Macedonian scene activist and Thinner/Autoplate supporter since the
first minute Anton Dimitrov focused on a plicky needle plop sample of
AK and explores a thick click n'jam. Violets short construction is
economic in sample usage and evolves a heavy cloud which doesnt erupt
finally (luckily?) but seperates into new a developing surface, though
yet smaller. The multi-instrumentalist Heath Yonaites builded a song
with his unique wall-of-soundart composing.

Dont forget - Autoplate is a label dedicated to listening with
headphones, so you should do here either if you do not want to miss
very much of this album - Get into it!

DIGITALVEREIN (Live-Set)

Digitalverein ist das clickig dubige Projekt von Jörg Schuster, dessen
Debüt Album “Offene Schleifen” gerade unter dem eher Minimalhouse
orientierten Pseudonym Sensual Physics auf Source Records (Move D.)
erschienen ist. Digitalverein, das ist schuffelnder Laptop - Dub im
Walzer Takt mit Anlehnung an Basic Channel und Force Inc. Sein letztes
Release für Thinner sowie die dazugehörigen Remixe kürte die DE:BUG
schlichtweg zum Pflichtdownload.

FALTER (Live Set)

Falter ist das housig dubesque Projekt des Dortmunder Martin Juhls
(krill.minima / marsen jules), seines Zeichens Hauptinitiator des
ortsansässigen Sternschaltungs Kollektivs.
Während er sich als krill.minima dem trockenen und weichen Sound
verschrieben hat, taumelt er als Falter im Gleitflug durch eine
verschrobene Welt aus Delays, Hallräumen und Filtersequenzen. Dabei hat
er immer die gerade 4/4 Base im Hinterkopf. Nach einem Remix für
Digitalverein wird er Anfang Oktober einen knarzig abstrakten 3-Tracker
bei Thinner veröffentlichen, um dann im Spätherbst auf der „Strasse
nach Kingston Town“ über den Dancefloor zu gleiten.

BENFAY (LiveSet+Thinner-MP3-DJ-Set)

Benjamin Fay wurde 1972 in der Schweiz geboren. Er wuchs auf unter
Unmengen alter Platten und jeder Menge Freejazz. Er lernte
autodidaktisch verschiedene Instrumente und entschloss sich schließlich
an der Hochschule für Musik in Bern Kontrabass zu studieren. Während
des Studiums begann er sich mit Computermusik zu beschäftigen. Nach der
Begegnung mit Niels Jensen (Morris/Audio) im Sommer 2001 entstanden die
"kanzleramtish" Tracks der Thinner Releases Carbon und Nitron. Benfays
heutige Tracks und DJ Sets sind minimal und "thinner".

SEBASTIAN REDENZ (DJ-Set)

Sebastian Redenz ist der bescheidene Mann hinter Thinner.
In nicht mehr als 1 ½ Jahren hat er es mit sage und schreibe
außergewöhnlichen 17 Releases geschafft, Thinner zu einem der
interessantesten und meistbeachteten Internetlabel derzeit zu machen.
Die Thinner-Labelnacht im NBI wird er als DJ begleiten.

Taavi Tulev - Televiisor On Tuksis
13 tracks :: 58min 10sec :: 83.76 MB
**********************************************************************

One of todays most important composers of classical music is Toivo
Tulev, the father of Taavi. For Autoplate, Taavi cuts, smashes,
mingles, constructs and keeps defining the new school of electronica
folklore from Estonia. 13 neo-dsp songs which are mad and randomly
structured, but in the end agree on one point: beautieful.

Taavi keeps playing various instruments of undefined origin and, if
you listen carefully, unfolds multiinstrumentality i rarely took
notice of yet. "Karje" pierces your ears with an enraged spoon on the
heating and loud distorted pads which top on jamming a dramatic
melody together. "Freako" is a metallic jam of used and unusal
sounds. "Amuu" sounds like a defacement of a traditional estonian
good-night song with illogcial harmonies. "Kaega" has melancholic-
melody painting skills equal to some Lackluster songs of
the "Container" album, but with more youthful energy behind and not
too reduced. "Mleellikulal" grain manipulates hipassed guitarlick
cycles and plugs/unplugs popping wires. One of my favourite
cuts, "Kivi" jams on a heavy fx-ed piano with all the dadaistic,
impudently, sounds Taavi loves to cutnpaste. "Minuni" evolves C-64
resonanced strings and pads and lfo-s, cutoffs and delays them to a
nice potpourri of retroanalogica. On "R-Pauer" Taavi throws again
bittersweet and tender melancholica around himself like lightnings
which break your heart into thousand parts. "Berta" is hectic and
tries to escape from the unknown. In all between those songs, we have
a break with Dr. Jekyll, the liquid fountain of youth, "Televiisor On
Tuksis" which keeps sparkling like glowworms. So nice! And a really
impressive example of Taavis solid classical background of composing.
Beware of Mr. Hyde in "Trainas"! "Taschkje" is a warm bath of
electronica, before he leaves us with yet another estonian christmas
interpretation, called "Alap" here. Very recommended - see Taavi on
Germany tour in December, definately one of the most bizarre Gigs
you'll have heared so far then, yet.

"Music which permanently takes up degree migration between insanity
and pure genious. Toy command meets relativity theory, Comicfigures
on Acid and the entire staff of "One flew more over the Cuckoos nest"
on free course" (Claus Wittwer, OX Fanzine 12/02)

Already having released on the recommended netlabel 2063music, the Duo Digitalis
from Bern, Switzerland contribute a smoooth 4 tracker to Thinner. Each Track evolves huge fx landscapes with minimal beats and reduced expressions. Theres much to explore in this music, so headphones are definately
recommended. This EP is calm and a perfect electronica blend with aspects of dub and ambience, made perfect for home listening.
"Schwellen" is a heavy subbass mover with pearling Glitterstrings, makes you see swimming in a aquarium through cloudily water. A Plastikman alike subbass with cold, distant effects and reservedly percussion make this track a cold nautic sensual enjoyment. "Port.Able" unfolds decent dark and metally soundscapes until a downbeat fades in with lovely playing dubby echochords and delays. Mysterious voices appear and disappear. "Formicula" comes up with sparkling affected chords, a 4/4 bassdrum with closed hihats. The syncopic bassline and shuffling hihats grasshop around, the scapes sound like ionisated gas outer space. On "Landing" we have aliens visiting, this song builds up slowly with a Kleine alike Bassline and sparse closed hihats, later a tough basskick merges to transform this song into a mover until it ends up in a spooky spacey voice ambient melange.

A nice interview with Digitalis can be read on 2063music
