Flavor of the week #23

Tropic of Cancer
http://tropicofcancer.bandcamp.com
( ;D --> Tropic of Cancer is Camella Lobo & J Mendez, who's probably better known as Sandwell District's Silent Servant. With a Sound of Arcane folk drones and smacked out vocals, driven by Suicide style drum machine minimalism and shuddering within some of the bleakest soundscapes this side of Sun, inspired by a wealth of classic darkside influences to end up with a dank basement sound bearing traces of everything from The Velvets to MBV, with distant drum loops and miserablist guitars trawling the surface. Despite not being remotely techno, the sound perfectly suits the sinisterly irony-free Black country aesthetic.)
The Sorrow of Two Blooms
ToC_amazon
( ;D --> Blackest Ever Black made an indelible mark on 2010 with a couplet of stunning releases from Raime. This year they open their leathery wings to shelter Tropic Of Cancer aka Camella Lobo and Juan Mendez (Silent Servant) for a midnight mission away from their spiritual home, Regis' Downwards sect. No doubt, this is their strongest material to date: three passionately gothic odes to the romance of misery. There are clear, strong references to the gothic digital minimalism of Martin Hannet's work on Joy Division, and maybe more apt allusions to the skinny Post Punk of Savage Republic, and Faith/Pornography/Seventeen Seconds era The Cure, but unlike many contemporary guardians of this sound, TOC's misanthropy is articulated with exquisite production values closer to those of Grouper or Broadcast, making their introversion that much more tangible and heart-breakingly glorious.)

( ;D --> spaced out dub techno in the spirit of northern contrast between urban and nature. After nearly two decades in years of musical experiences, Teemu T has become a lazy but hard working dub techno ear. From the first tracker sequencer tests to full-scale projects he has developed a style of deep dub techno,with minimal techno grooves and analoque sounds.)

Astral Projection

( ;D --> The psychedelic trance outfit Astral Projection have gained respect and sales as one of the best in their field despite their base in Israel, far afield from the European dance mainstream. The group evolved from a production partnership involving childhood friends Avi Nissim and Lior Perlmutter, each of whom were DJs in Israel's dance/industrial scene of the late '80s before beginning their production careers in 1989. Astral Projection produces high octane futuristic trance combined with certain Old Skool Goa elements.)
