As some are surfing a soft quiet wave or another, others are discovering new lands and soundscapes, Kuu belongs to the very respectable second category of researchers, collecting different musical journeys and projects.
Then, after 7 years of absence, Monotonik is legitimately glad to find again Joonas Vähämäki (aka Kuu) for this new EP :: loplus. "io" which opens the release, does not leave any doubt, this resident of the far North (from the very confirmed coldish electro emerging Finland) is got excited of space, even if it plays with our nerves in search of delivery. "rosa" gives in its turn, this feeling graying speed even if the tone still remains retained. No more solid pressure "pine" offers the revelation and "bonus track" which closes the ep, has the insidious characteristic to encourage you to start again the :: loplus exercice - the loop is buckled.

Peacee F Moya :: mouth for sore sight
Is it a deafening whisper ? why does suddenly air in the room growing in density and thickness - chamanic mantras in an industrial complex of wadding, felt and lead in fusion, Peacee F Moya takes you in a ballet, whose mechanism seems to have a curious tendency to leave in a dangerous inflationary spiral - the loss of control is inevitable and do not seek especially to hang to you to some illusory accent of flattering trumpet. But here now we are in the center of a “three exodic”, second act of a a ceremony whose central topic is to be played of our “doors of perception” - it just remains to be known if we are player in this open mouth for sore sight.

Milieu :: sun white sun
Today the question is, "is Milieu overexposed ?" Is Brian Grainger, as Carl Martin (of Transient) so prodigally productive that everyone doesn't now give the same attention to this work. See, if we strictly refer to the 2006 Milieu production (and today is august 23rd) we are not very far from 10 releases (11 in 2005) … the reason is maybe in the french word "milieu" which means "middle" (of … the road ?)
Then, now the second question is why the people of EED may have choose an artist like Milieu ( and by far for a netaudio and maybe a 07 coming cd ) is Brian Grainger so newly and so highly representative of this label ?
And finally, what about with :: sun white sun, Brian Grainger lends himself to the game of the improvisation for the FREED Music serie (the impro side-project of EED), and the answer of the previous questions is somewhere in the result of this netaudio : blank. Opening with a half-encouraging "velvet morning" cumulating an interesting succession of atmospheric layers, the release is then sinking into enigmatic and trouble drone waters - It will not regrettably recover from it.
We can thank EED for this disagreeable experience, they have proved that Milieu is a seductive but a second hand artist dedicated to average electronica music tastes. Brian Grainger is certainly very emblematic for the netscene recognition, but he is also the tree which hides a forest of fabulous talented artists sometimes engaged in a music evolution approach. If you wish a demonstration, you are just invited to consult the back catalog of EED, for example …

Passive Defence :: relate
If everything is so relative, this release can give sense to an absolute doubt form.
The report is clear, Jochen Dworeck early made place us in the center of an environmental space, goes out of blank page in the absence of edge, where it is fast necessary to us to define the uncomfortable caracter of the situation at risk of returning to the previous episode. In that particular way, Dworeck offers a big originality, by giving this part of "vacancy" to his music which some people can sometimes consider "disembodied" - risks has to set - :: relate is a release made for the candidate adventurers, for the mental explorers and all those who wish to define themselves in the blank page without edge.
///
Le constat est clair, Jochen Dworeck a tôt fait de nous placer au centre d'un vide environnemental, sorte de page blanche en l'absence de bords, vide où il nous faut bien vite définir le caractère inconfortable de la situation au risque de retourner à l'épisode précédent. Dworeck offre une belle originalité en donnant cette part de "vacance" à sa musique que certains pourront parfois juger "désincarnée" - c'est un risque a prendre.

Neuf Meuf :: its cold in space
"it's cold in space" has "nonchalantes allures",
it is quite difficult to stick a description to it, that's it !
Co-produced by 12rec and Serein, we did not need less than these 2 structures to try to delimit this wandering creation -
"it's cold in space" invites you to 11 rhyzomic escapades without party taken, but whose epicentre of the phenomenon could be "goldberry dreamsteam", with its jazzy premises, its slow ambient immersion, moving textures and always this kind of indolent charm.
In its “solid” version :: it's cold in space is accompanied by a very beautiful graphic creation of Inmo Design, publishers besides of the very remarkable MultiLink magazine.
Neuf Meuf is a man of taste.

Segue :: capitalist hippies
See the silent ballet of the world through the window, feel this gradual ankylosis of your attention -
Segue tests himself with the stylistic sketch and he reaches that extremely well.
Detached from all, this ep is all made of this rhythmic draft, a paraffined dub, sometimes lost in a light fog, as a prismatic but simple reality.
A too short experience, probably the result of another stock exchange flower-powered strategy of the ... capitalist hippies.

v/a :: draumar um kalt sumar
Draumar Um Kalt Sumar - Dreams About Cold Summer … 14 dreams for 13 original dreamers (Galaktlan is guest twice) - this icelandic thema compilation rather marks the return of Sutemos, after a long absence (the label have recently announced some news until the autumn 06) - No real surprise in those icy soundscapes, but an elegant selection of elegant tracks for elegantly fresh people - Then, some dreams are sometimes getting higher than others as the "walkman" of Yagya or the "blank paper" bleeps of Static.

v/a :: summer lights
A clear blue immaculate sky, no clouds around, maybe just a very minimal wind, which gives a sweet impression of movement on leaves in the trees, no more rebel sounds than this marrowy succession of 12 pieces of concentrated talent - oh, there is sometimes a surprise, just to give a little spice in this sweet harmony, but don't count on me to tell about, just have a look on the guest list - the people of EKO are really lucky and a bit lazy, it is not too difficult to success this first compilation, it is the inexhaustible advantage of people who have good taste.

v/a :: movin on
Claudia Bonarelli, .at/on, The Suffragettes, Pero, Shalma-, Salmon, Muffrare, Masaya Sasaki, Goem|fdw, Motor, g_n44f, Lod, Jos Smolders and Andrey Kiritchenko have a common center of interest these days, they are all movin' on this second compilation of Minusn. A pretty and good idea of the label, which gives us to listen to some impatiently waiting artists ( Lod, Kiritchenko, Sasaki…) and discovering some others new collaborations , as "avant-première" (the mysterious Claudia Bonarelli who have a nice trumpet, or the coming "The Suffragettes" with So Inagawa who recently had made us get up with his :: nagoya gun shop ep.
