REVIEW REBLOG -Christine Ott ~ Only Silence Remains — a closer listen

This is one beguiling record. It starts with opera and ends with poetry, and in the end, only silence remains. The opening soprano segment makes an immediate statement: this is not conventional music. By the middle of the set, one may forget this fact, but on “Tempête” it returns with a vengeance. The storied career of Christine […]

Todays Discovery -Nhung Nguyen & Cinchel – Movement of an Old Soul

Thanks to Stationary Travels I got a Mental Exfoliation and my Discovery Today is the sublime Nhung Nguyen & Cinchel – Movement of an Old Soul.

“…the perfect mix of the old timey and tinkly ambiance of electronically treated piano and music box, and perfectly blended, guitar fed, spatially mellifluous drone.”

Update May 2016

Dear Reader,

Unaccustomed as I am to public writing I thought I’d better let you know that things have been a little slow here due to the call of the studio but some of the older usual’s will be back soon such as adding to the Artists pages that are becoming huge, Soundcloud Spotlight, Todays Discovery and Web focus.

Just as a reminder there are loads of things going on and I can’t keep up with it all so I suggest you have a look at some of the links sites – Feminatronic is just a tiny cog in the aim to raise awareness of artists who just happen to be women.

Also please visit the Twitter (@Feminatronic) feed and Facebook pages as there’s loads there too and connect if you like : )

REVIEW REBLOG – Various Artists ~ VA1+2 (Tavern Eightieth)

“…this double-disc set is a benefit album to raise money for Alzheimer Research U.K. Second – and this is for potential consumers – these tracks are exclusive to the compilation,”
Including AGF, Midori Hirano, Iris Garrelfs and Poulomi Desai.

postrockcafe's avatara closer listen

VA1+2Mixed-artist compilations were all the rage at the turn of the 21st century, but have lost some of their appeal in the digital age.  Finnish label Tavern Eightieth has done two things to correct any misconceptions.  First and foremost, this double-disc set is a benefit album to raise money for Alzheimer Research U.K.  Second – and this is for potential consumers – these tracks are exclusive to the compilation, which is especially noteworthy as some of these artists (including Bibio, Glacis and Matthew Collings) have albums being released the same month and could just as easily have contributed older work.

As might be expected when 22 artists are involved, the timbres and overall quality are all over the map, and some of the tracks include vocals, so we’re going to zero in on a select few.  On Disc One, we’re able to catch up with Makunouchi Bento, a group…
