Resina ~ Traces – Remixes

In the old days, a remix EP usually meant that a single track would be remixed into the most club-friendly form possible.  The artist’s original vision was often buried beneath the almighty beat.  This hit-or-miss proposition was often prompted by

Tegh ~ Unusual Path

Unusual Path is a single, all-enveloping, 20-minute track that melts across an entire side of blue vinyl.  On Side B, Siavash Amini and Zenjungle offer alternate 10-minute versions, one ambient and one drone.  Together, they create an atmosphere for active contemplation. Tegh‘s original work builds

Komodo Kollektif ~ Sundada

Franck Vigroux ~ Totem

In order to appreciate the composer, one must look past the superlative.  The press release calls Franck Vigroux “France’s most singular contemporary composer,” a title that might also go to Eliane Radigue, Pierre Boulez, or a number of other contenders.  Vigroux

The Phonometrician ~ Mnemosyne

We’ve been excited about the debut album from Mexico City’s The Phonometrician (Carlos Morales) ever since we heard “The Fall of Cormonan” last fall.  And once we saw João Ruas’ steampunk cover, our anticipation went through the roof.  As usual, Lost Tribe
