We will be returning better than ever in the new year. I'm porting the blog to a domain so that will mean no more broken links. Also there will be more regular content. You can also expect a new mix from me in the next week and a top albums of 2007 chart. So sit tight boys and girls.Shawn Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09733317527706579533noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662229489890580408.post-49958546649682338182007-12-12T17:40:00.000-05:002008-12-11T15:05:52.045-05:00Jichael Mackson's Wicked Game<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjogodpCd5u-ETB9bWzgMM5Xnos1E9ByodeVH_O9ZfwQh4U39P-ndP0lpxGPRr-2SGdmwFIQSyqUJky9Xfg9y_G50t0zVH9DjNO_5rr0QCFLShcjxwVlECZk5s-9xmBdP9qOrhxXJ0tV2o0/s1600-h/wicked+game.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjogodpCd5u-ETB9bWzgMM5Xnos1E9ByodeVH_O9ZfwQh4U39P-ndP0lpxGPRr-2SGdmwFIQSyqUJky9Xfg9y_G50t0zVH9DjNO_5rr0QCFLShcjxwVlECZk5s-9xmBdP9qOrhxXJ0tV2o0/s320/wicked+game.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143230430170336402" border="0" /></a><br />I've gone through so many micro-phases in 2007 that its impossible to keep track of all of the Techno subgenres that have pleased my ears this year. But, I've passed by enough little insular electronic music cliques to know that the very best tracks manage to transcend their subgenre to define their own niche in the broader community of music. <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=68561677">Jichael Mackson</a>'s The Grass is Always Greener from his Wasn't Me EP on [Musique Risquée] is a track that does just that. <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=68561677">Jichael Mackson</a> combines Bob Ross and Chris Isaak in a perfect example of the weird beauty that can come from the recontextualization of American pop culture that occurs when different cultures cross-pollinate. The sensual chords of Wicked Game mingles surprisingly well with the soothingly bland artistic advice of Bob Ross--a lone peculiar success in what I imagine to be the long line of disappointed television painting show hosts.<br /><br />Let <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=68561677">Jichael Mackson</a> resurrect those innocent feelings of childhood lust and confusion that were prodded awake by a supermodel rolling around in the sand on VH1 in 1994:<br /><br /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://obscuresound.com/wp-content/plugins/audio-player/player.swf" id="audioplayer1" height="24" width="290"><param name="movie" value="http://obscuresound.com/wp-content/plugins/audio-player/player.swf"><param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=1&bg=0xFFFFFF&leftbg=0xeeeeee&lefticon=0x534741&rightbg=0xcccccc&rightbghover=0x999999&righticon=0x534741&righticonhover=0xffffff&text=0x534741&slider=0x534741&track=0xFFFFFF&border=0x534741&loader=0xED1C24&soundFile=http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/11/28/1612335/01%20The%20Grass%20Is%20Always%20Greener%20%28Co-P.mp3"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="menu" value="false"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></object><br /><a href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/11/28/1612335/01%20The%20Grass%20Is%20Always%20Greener%20%28Co-P.mp3">Jichael Mackson - The Grass is Always Greener</a> [risque014]<br /><br />Oh, and if you doubt the haunting qualities of Chris Isaak's sun-bleached guitar strumming, consider this, Chris Isaak has only a two degree seperation from David Lynch:<br /><br />Chris Isaak -> Angelo Badalamenti -> David Lynch<br /><br />David Lynch seems to be some sort of specter that hovers near everything good.Karlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00689760306656834199noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662229489890580408.post-84638477540308735732007-12-11T14:54:00.000-05:002008-12-11T15:05:52.316-05:00Sennh is With You<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpe1pgVpVLDsGwrvCTU6VyMXinsQuxefXN1Bpcs-LBiR7xd7JwVGWhHCyNAcFpgKcw2zX1pS4ilvXFko5hHGLR4afT-SsBTblkNyxCXRezxuRZ6PAY00uvUlsgp7QX-0_FRmkoVJ6dxBzF/s1600-h/sennh.jpeg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpe1pgVpVLDsGwrvCTU6VyMXinsQuxefXN1Bpcs-LBiR7xd7JwVGWhHCyNAcFpgKcw2zX1pS4ilvXFko5hHGLR4afT-SsBTblkNyxCXRezxuRZ6PAY00uvUlsgp7QX-0_FRmkoVJ6dxBzF/s320/sennh.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142816318013590658" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.traumschallplatten.de/">Traum</a> is a fantastic label known for their highly melodic releases--Dominik Eulberg, Gabriel Ananda, Nathan Fake, Dinky, Fairmont, come to mind--and Sennh follows in that tradition more than competently. His recent 12" I Am With You wraps warm heart-swelling chords around a tech house thump that becomes more intense at the right times, then he drops in a pretty percussive plinking melody that runs up and down your spine.

I hate to join the, erm, hype machine, but he has made some really great tracks, and there's no denying that. The best of his new album tempers the hyper-dramatic swooning vocals with murky dubbed-out effects, while keeping the beat straightforward enough to keep my interest. I think his more atmospheric, beatless stuff works better in a certain altered state, if you know what I mean.<br /><br />Here are my favorites from the new LP, Untrue <a href="http://www.myspace.com/hyperdub">[hyperdub</a>]:<br /><br /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://obscuresound.com/wp-content/plugins/audio-player/player.swf" id="audioplayer1" height="24" width="290"><param name="movie" value="http://obscuresound.com/wp-content/plugins/audio-player/player.swf"><param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=1&bg=0xFFFFFF&leftbg=0xeeeeee&lefticon=0x534741&rightbg=0xcccccc&rightbghover=0x999999&righticon=0x534741&righticonhover=0xffffff&text=0x534741&slider=0x534741&track=0xFFFFFF&border=0x534741&loader=0xED1C24&soundFile=http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/11/28/1612335/02%20-%20Burial%20-%20Archangel.mp3"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="menu" value="false"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></object><br /><a href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/11/28/1612335/02%20-%20Burial%20-%20Archangel.mp3">Burial - Archangel</a><br /><br /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://obscuresound.com/wp-content/plugins/audio-player/player.swf" id="audioplayer1" height="24" width="290"><param name="movie" value="http://obscuresound.com/wp-content/plugins/audio-player/player.swf"><param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=1&bg=0xFFFFFF&leftbg=0xeeeeee&lefticon=0x534741&rightbg=0xcccccc&rightbghover=0x999999&righticon=0x534741&righticonhover=0xffffff&text=0x534741&slider=0x534741&track=0xFFFFFF&border=0x534741&loader=0xED1C24&soundFile=http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/11/28/1612335/08%20-%20Burial%20-%20Untrue.mp3"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="menu" value="false"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></object><br /><a href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/11/28/1612335/08%20-%20Burial%20-%20Untrue.mp3">Burial - Untrue</a><br /><br />check out his myspace <a href="http://www.myspace.com/burialuk">here</a>Karlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00689760306656834199noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662229489890580408.post-51961187721003905242007-12-02T01:17:00.000-05:002008-12-11T15:05:53.294-05:00Cadenza es como la influenza<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaauZ1XsTtlkEdtH17oudhWj1QRz981XvGHMEJQPiEI2YRxasM9WSM0MZD2qK4UGSpONM3Oj3Q0343dUA295dfr6waLdRzsY7ShOKNX_UgbTWsI0fXrDs6Ie8AmnBqDcEaoX5FCOsyIzY9/s1600-r/cadenza.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQBQp0fFpS0wrYGY0-jmxzbCcWJ_rKLMni6l9TuwXNJzWmjun6vMtA4t9XajcdRwvS-EtD8QCDwSfeIa7Rn8k6l1YJ13WTjkL6iWeL2sP3-GxoetZWzump5wbFZGTfsi-WHvzdCcppeh1d/s320/cadenza.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5139261615175075394" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/cadenzarecords">Cadenza</a> released the luscious <em>Contemporary 0.1</em> and <em>Classics</em> last month as a 2 disc cd. <em>Contemporary 0.1</em> has been mixed so beautifully by Luciano.

So simple, so beautiful, it's kinda like what Steve Reich would sound like making dance music. All his tracks capture that bittersweet melancholic ecstasy that Aphex Twin's "Xtal" does so well. Colorseries is an album created out of a collection of tracks selected by Costello from his previously released series of 12"s, along with a few tracks of unreleased material from the Colorseries sessions. I can't get enough of this album, I'd love to hear all the colors he's released.<br /><br /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://obscuresound.com/wp-content/plugins/audio-player/player.swf" width="290" height="24" id="audioplayer1"><param name="movie" value="http://obscuresound.com/wp-content/plugins/audio-player/player.swf" /><param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=1&bg=0xFFFFFF&leftbg=0xeeeeee&lefticon=0x534741&rightbg=0xcccccc&rightbghover=0x999999&righticon=0x534741&righticonhover=0xffffff&text=0x534741&slider=0x534741&track=0xFFFFFF&border=0x534741&loader=0x66B5FF&soundFile=http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/11/28/1612335/01-donnacha_costello--orange_a-cmc.mp3" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /></object><br /><a href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/11/28/1612335/01-donnacha_costello--orange_a-cmc.mp3"><br />Donnacha Costello - Orange A</a><br /><br /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://obscuresound.com/wp-content/plugins/audio-player/player.swf" width="290" height="24" id="audioplayer1"><param name="movie" value="http://obscuresound.com/wp-content/plugins/audio-player/player.swf" /><param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=1&bg=0xFFFFFF&leftbg=0xeeeeee&lefticon=0x534741&rightbg=0xcccccc&rightbghover=0x999999&righticon=0x534741&righticonhover=0xffffff&text=0x534741&slider=0x534741&track=0xFFFFFF&border=0x534741&loader=0x66B5FF&soundFile=http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/11/28/1612335/10-donnacha_costello--mustard_b-cmc.mp3" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /></object><br /><a href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/11/28/1612335/10-donnacha_costello--mustard_b-cmc.mp3">Donnacha Costello - Mustard B</a><br /><br />(<a href="http://www.minimise.com/">Minimise</a>)Karlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00689760306656834199noreply@blogger.com32tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662229489890580408.post-35695195887199068512007-11-25T15:25:00.000-05:002008-12-11T15:05:54.165-05:00Radio Slave - Bell Clap Dance<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSF1a7gdww1s2c0xeqrrifdNzM54YUHiqeLVTgPYqf3n6Idd6psoA5sCY1zrYjF2TEt8-Th05yS_KSsHN4aJzIYaY73NjX6Wypen2hC9uUiIvhMQ1QFhvDYncBaZLoX5oHRXjMTJeU-9zO/s1600-h/radio+slave.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSF1a7gdww1s2c0xeqrrifdNzM54YUHiqeLVTgPYqf3n6Idd6psoA5sCY1zrYjF2TEt8-Th05yS_KSsHN4aJzIYaY73NjX6Wypen2hC9uUiIvhMQ1QFhvDYncBaZLoX5oHRXjMTJeU-9zO/s320/radio+slave.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5136877043826318706" /></a><br />OK enough brooding from me. It's time to start dancing again. I need a cowbell and some clapping to get started. Wait, Matt Edwards has the remedy.

I just saw this video yesterday and I believe it is the official one. Digitalism keep putting out great videos all so beautiful and well-shot with interesting and clever concepts. This video is totally representative of how I am feeling right now. All the happy times and memories of the past 5 years have been erased and it feels like I meant nothing to her. I don't know what was real or if it was all a lie.

No he did not die by the hands of Amz and Natalie, but by the actions and words [words are so easy to say] of two others who each do not fit the classification of a human being. Shawn Khan is BACK as a zombie - not as a zombie looking for revenge - but as a zombie that is haunted by his death. He will go on a search for the music that will ameliorate his overwhelming pain and return the function of his brain. Thank you to all those who have been kind and supported the zombie.<br /><br />At least he died before the genocide of DJs:<br /><br /><center><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PlTRVXMCbnM&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PlTRVXMCbnM&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object></center>Shawn Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09733317527706579533noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662229489890580408.post-23589224491828951662007-11-16T11:49:00.000-05:002008-12-11T15:05:57.124-05:00Dinky Goes Big<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV-Ymg2aUQ-F14ZTcme9sBvFqmTavr1fyykUz5ZciZzFvQzfwrCS1HCps8kZerTB5Sn28NaYJRO6rB1_fl1n7ecSoE0TZQVKusMzhnf8No591vPFolhbUFts0duWct2CzMHk-kgRhR4su1/s1600-h/A-r_9940-001.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV-Ymg2aUQ-F14ZTcme9sBvFqmTavr1fyykUz5ZciZzFvQzfwrCS1HCps8kZerTB5Sn28NaYJRO6rB1_fl1n7ecSoE0TZQVKusMzhnf8No591vPFolhbUFts0duWct2CzMHk-kgRhR4su1/s320/A-r_9940-001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5133488616972254258" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=82858559">Dinky</a>'s name belies her expansive banging sound. The drum sounds hint at her South American roots in Chile, and the vocal samples alternately shout, murmur, gasp, and whoop like half-heard come-ons on the dance floor; these awesome ingredients are then looped to infinity in a swinging minimal-style, very funky. It's all held together with a kind of elegance thats hard to find elsewhere. One of my favorite minimal releases this year.<br /><br /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://obscuresound.com/wp-content/plugins/audio-player/player.swf" width="290" height="24" id="audioplayer1"><param name="movie" value="http://obscuresound.com/wp-content/plugins/audio-player/player.swf" /><param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=1&bg=0xFFFFFF&leftbg=0xeeeeee&lefticon=0x534741&rightbg=0xcccccc&rightbghover=0x999999&righticon=0x534741&righticonhover=0xffffff&text=0x534741&slider=0x534741&track=0xFFFFFF&border=0x534741&loader=0x66B5FF&soundFile=http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/10/23/1533257/a1_horizontal.mp3" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /></object><br /><a href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/10/23/1533257/a1_horizontal.mp3">Dinky - Horizontal</a> [Ringing EP]<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxwYsT0R9ujHvTcp0NxxtbaA6P3l2baYTgausnxiT0eCffw5jc3ZtUrAISl5iq0oJbxx-6pZC1qo3jvaKO6eji8_XopasT_Py-KZW6I0xyfWj-I7O1dj8MIfTFs47QVt6vvC-qBFFPu8Ia/s1600-h/Ringing+cover+front.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxwYsT0R9ujHvTcp0NxxtbaA6P3l2baYTgausnxiT0eCffw5jc3ZtUrAISl5iq0oJbxx-6pZC1qo3jvaKO6eji8_XopasT_Py-KZW6I0xyfWj-I7O1dj8MIfTFs47QVt6vvC-qBFFPu8Ia/s320/Ringing+cover+front.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5133488956274670658" border="0" /></a><br />Dinky releases her stuff on her own imprint, <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=88751025">Horizontal</a>.Karlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00689760306656834199noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662229489890580408.post-16144437272562410492007-11-12T20:51:00.000-05:002008-12-11T15:05:57.415-05:00Lies in Disguise<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c0HUgqEbnO8/RzkJdQqR1JI/AAAAAAAAABE/zxxN1TVuwBw/s1600-h/lies-in-disguise.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132143648658543762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c0HUgqEbnO8/RzkJdQqR1JI/AAAAAAAAABE/zxxN1TVuwBw/s320/lies-in-disguise.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />New project from <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.myspace.com/castlevaniadisco">Le Castle Vania</a> and Blake Miller (from the <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.myspace.com/movingunits">Moving Units</a> and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/weirdscienceproduction">Weird Science</a>!!!) called Lies in Disguise released their first remix on <a href="http://www.sosweetrecords.com/">So Sweet Records</a> from UK's <a href="http://www.myspace.com/partyshank">Partyshank</a> called Penis vs Vagina.

It is called <em>Different Places</em>, but it seems that we are in fact in the same place - heartbreak. Mathiew Gendreau and Pieter Van Dessel seem to hold women in high regard as they look to them for self-worth, security, and happiness only living to please them. Plastic Operator and I differ in that they tried to make her happy while I barely tried when it was already too late. Nice guys always seem to get left in the dust. However, Plastic Operator are not left for dead; closing track 'The Long Run' has them realizing that they will be "alright" without them. I wish I were at that point. Plastic Operator's most popular song is probably 'Folder', which is about a guy, like me, who has difficulty communicating in the way he should. The video is rather interesting - it was directed by Pete Circuitt:<br /><br /><div><object height="333" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/4qPujmTAIfME6nNI"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/4qPujmTAIfME6nNI" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="333" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object></div><br /><br />My favorite song on <em>Different Places</em> is 'Parasol', because it is a reminder of happy times no bullshit no problems. It is the most refreshing song on the album and Sarah Ferri's vocals are a nice addition. I'd like to hear more of her on the next record. Plastic Operator are electronic and poppy akin to Hot Chip, but Jesse Rose and Oliver $ come in and make 'Why Don't You?' ripe for the dance floor. What is so good about the remix is the use of the strings and piano from the original as compliments to their techno rework. Don't worry Mat and Pieter, us nice guys will be appreciated one day:<br /><br /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://obscuresound.com/wp-content/plugins/audio-player/player.swf" width="290" height="24" id="audioplayer1"><param name="movie" value="http://obscuresound.com/wp-content/plugins/audio-player/player.swf" /><param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=1&bg=0xFFFFFF&leftbg=0xeeeeee&lefticon=0x534741&rightbg=0xcccccc&rightbghover=0x999999&righticon=0x534741&righticonhover=0xffffff&text=0x534741&slider=0x534741&track=0xFFFFFF&border=0x534741&loader=0x66B5FF&soundFile=http://plaza.ufl.edu/shawn17/06%20Parasols.mp3" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /></object><br /><a href="http://plaza.ufl.edu/shawn17/06%20Parasols.mp3">Plastic Operator - Parasols </a><br /><br /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://obscuresound.com/wp-content/plugins/audio-player/player.swf" width="290" height="24" id="audioplayer1"><param name="movie" value="http://obscuresound.com/wp-content/plugins/audio-player/player.swf" /><param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=1&bg=0xFFFFFF&leftbg=0xeeeeee&lefticon=0x534741&rightbg=0xcccccc&rightbghover=0x999999&righticon=0x534741&righticonhover=0xffffff&text=0x534741&slider=0x534741&track=0xFFFFFF&border=0x534741&loader=0x66B5FF&soundFile=http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/8/2/1315789/My%20Documents/Shawns%20Files/plastic_operator_why_dont_you_jesse_rose_and_oliver_remix.mp3" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /></object><br /><a href="http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/8/2/1315789/My%20Documents/Shawns%20Files/plastic_operator_why_dont_you_jesse_rose_and_oliver_remix.mp3">Plastic Operator - Why Don't You?

Quick story: my parents had me about 4 years before their wedding - bastard; asteroid - the only game they had at the sub shop where they met in Chicago. More importantly, Basteroid is Sebastian Riedl who brings the bass so hard that it literally upsets populations of ducks. So fittingly his long player is titled <em>Upsets Ducks</em> out on Cologne label Areal. 'Un Dos Windows' clocks in at 9:36, but if you have the patience it is so rewarding. It starts off calm but then Riedl kills you, innervating all your bouncing parts until he drops it back down at around the 6:30 mark only to hit you with a barrage of bass that will once again smooth out. Downright splendid and bleepy. 'I Want To 3 4' begins in a similar fashion but doesn't let up - minimalist? I say maximalist.
