Book Review – “Fight Your Own War: Power Electronics and Noise Culture” Edited by Jennifer Wallis — Heathen Harvest

As soon as Fight Your Own War was announced, a ripple ran through the loose confederacy of friends, contacts, label heads, and performers that make up the noise “scene.” For performers and fans of power electronics, a book focused almost exclusively on the genre can be seen as a nod towards recognition of influence for […]

Review Reblog – Svetlana Maraš and Bodies Under The Waterfall ~ Angry Ambient Artists Vol. 2

Yes, you can be an angry ambient artist and this expresses the mood at the moment.

Last time around, the artists involved (Machinefabriek and Phillippe Petit) were well-known for their softer works, as well as their forays into abrasion.  This time, the artists are new, which leads one to wonder if they were ever ambient at all.  Their stated goal:  “to make some creative sense of these dark times.”  These sounds are indeed…

This is a great overview of the rise of Chiptune music, which has never gone away for me, as I’m a Game lover….

Great to see this new project – Stag Hare – has been picked up. When I first heard this album, recommended by Sean Conrad of Inner Islands records, I was blown away by the sound, partly New Age and also what some term Now Age. It was so good to my ears , I made it my Album of the Week – 8/11//16 and was also going to be a Todays Discovery but pleased to post this YIKIS review instead.
