Album Review

[idm]

A collection of skittish uncomfortable expermental idm. Some videogame sounds. Any vocals are used instrumentally. A variety of unheard-of soundscapes, sometimes repetitive. Changes are frequent and unpredictable. 4,6 RIYL Oneohtrix

1-(1:45) Anthemic album intro. Expermental electronic music. Glitchy and mysterious, a little industrial (without drums).
2-*(2:57) Instrumental, slowly building, minor, industrial track. Rhythmic, echoy. Almost progressive house. Deep. Sudden ending.
3-*(3:00) 8-bit dissonance, dubby drums. Expermental syncopated electronic music that's less accessible than the others.
4-**(3:28) inebriated electronic sounds turn happy. Don't expect a consistent beat. Has different musical sections. Feels aqua at the end.
5-*(1:21) short distorted-vocal track. Minimal intro, experimental and glitchy. Indecipherable affected monologue. Ominous.
6-**(3:43) Slow industrial/glitchy idm, almost danceable. Nice sustained synth tones. A meditation on rhythm, an ecosystem of clips.
7-*(4:55) Arpeggiated synths and looped disonant piano clips, deep drums. Punchy. Loose song structure. Repetitive, and at times emotionless.
8-*(3:31) hollow faux-melodies, bright. Retro videogame leads over curious tones and hiphop instrumentals. Voices overlay strangely.
9-(2:22) Sounds like an instrumental The Books track. Laptop-produced electronica/expermental tech. Repetitive leads force you to focus on the broken beats.
10-(3:21) like Four Tet but more experimental, minimal, dark/witch, techno. A large juxtaposition of sounds.
11-*(3:11) Glittery sweeps and tingles. Short clips/skips. Sounds almost japanese?
12-*(3:15) Horn-filled funeral march over wired drums
13-(10:11) One minute of pop-blind alien spaceship sounds, remaining time is various kinds of static. Most 'experimental' track on the album?
