Words about electronic & experimental music

SINCE 2010

Matthew Mercer: “Stain” (2015)Another video clip from my forthcoming solo album, Supernatant. The album will likely be available in the next few months and is focused more on atmosphere...

Marcel Dettmann: “Shena (T++ Remix)” (MDR 01, 2008) Great collaboration between Dettmann and T++ on the debut record for Dettmann’s own MDR imprint. Especially savory with...

Ministry: “Dream Song” (The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste, 1989 Sire) “When you’re dreaming, you feel alive…”

Moby: “When It’s Cold I’d Like to Die” (Everything is Wrong, Elektra 1995)(Source: https://www.youtube.com/)

Ear Influxion’s Best Albums of 2014 It’s a bit late compared to most year-end music lists, but I like to take my time to listen to year-end releases and see what grabs me....

Marcus Schmickler & Julian Rohrhuber: Politiken der Frequenz (Editions Mego/Tochnit Aleph) While Marcus Schmickler may have most notably made a name for himself around the turn of the...

Mr. Oizo: The Church (Brainfeeder) It’s hard to believe that Quentin Dupieux’s first album as Mr. Oizo came out over 15 years ago, and eventually got a release through Mute. Much of that...

Autechre: LP5 (1998, Warp) At a time when I’ve been scrambling to get as much quality 2014 release listening in as possible lately (working on my year-end round-up, due to run here soon!),...

Vessel: Punish, Honey (Tri Angle) Seb Gainsborough’s second outing as Vessel on Tri Angle is a far cry from his debut from 2012. While his debut flirted with the post-dubstep landscapes...

Clap! Clap!: Tayi Bebba (Black Acre) Digi G’Alessio (né Cristiano Crisci) is the Italian producer behind Clap! Clap!, his nom de musique here being an ironic spin on Italian pop singer...

Fischerspooner: “We Are Electric” (Entertainment, 2009) Fischerspooner’s third album seemed to go by unnoticed in 2009, but it has some of their best tracks on it. I think their...
