Flavor of the week #47

Vince Watson

( ;D --> The way Vince Watson manipulates the keyboards, bringing complex multi-chords, dense & fully melodic patches to the contemporary dance music is simply amazing. It makes you feel like a small grain in a deep, huge atmosphere, condensed among the melodies, emotion and rhythms, which by the way seem to fit perfectly in the ears of the intense listeners.)

Deafcenter
www.myspace.com/deafcenter
( ;D --> Inspired by old silent 8mm film reels, the historical architecture around them and the call of the alluring Norwegian landscape, the duo set out armed with microphones to record whatever they could to capture these feelings. Sounds from battered old records, cash registers, broken machines and a half-dead piano were all blended into the mix to add a warm, homely depth to the recordings. These sounds are most evident in the track Loft, where knocks and wooden creaks give an almost claustrophobic feel to the music. Again on The Clearing a subtle field recording gives the track a rich and involving background and helps build up the mysterious aura before launching a skewed 1930s circus-waltz.)
Dakota Suite - Deaf Center Remix
DS_DC_Boomcat
( ;D --> Not so much a remix album as a remake of Dakota Suite's The End Of Trying long-player, reconstructed according to the original record's tracklisting with the help of a list of artists who might be said to represent a kind of Boomkat in-house favourites list: Peter Broderick, Machinefabriek, Arve Henriksen, Deaf Center & The Boats.)
Pale Ravine
DC_amazon
( ;D --> After the critical acclaim of their Neon City EP, Pale Ravine is the long awaited full-length realization of Erik Skodvin and Otto Totlands musical ideals. Taking up where Neon City left off with its epic sound collages and textural soundscapes, Pale Ravine manages to provide a sound altogether more Lynchian and grimly cinematic. Using influences from further back in their lives, the two Norwegian musicians have looked deep into their own family histories to piece together a dusty and nostalgic epic.)

Dakota Suite

( ;D --> The loosely configured lineup of Leeds-based Dakota Suite is centered around the group's talented frontman, singer/guitarist Chris Hooson; the only other firm member of the group is producer Richard Formby -- formerly a collaborator with Spaceman 3, the Telescopes, and Jazz Butcher -- who handles occasional guitar chores and various other instrumentation, including harmonium, Fender Rhodes, lap steel, bowed double bass, and tape effects. Various other members have included David Buxton on bass guitar and pedal steel; John Sheppard on drums; Peter Haslam on piano; and Colin Dunkley, who also plays the piano, provides the strings, and co-writes much of the group's instrumentals. Hooson -- whose vocal style is often compared to Red House Painters' Mark Kozelek, Spain's Josh Haden, and Mark Eitzel -- often bases his songs on haunting personal experiences; he attempted suicide in late 1995.)

Quantec

www.svenschienhammer.de
( ;D --> Sven Schienhammer's Quantec project comes with the very highest pedigree and a stamp of quality that followers of Sven Weisemann, Deepchord, Murmur and the like will find impossible to ignore. "Realm Of Possibilities" opens the twelve with a 10 minute reverb-drenched epic, singular synths and an edgy bassline evoking classic Chain Reaction material, with a widescreen quality lending proceedings a more contemporary sheen.)
