cctrax

some of my favorites from the cctrax collection. cctrax.com is featuring Netlabels, so all is lincensed under creative commons rules. Albums come in decent 320kbps or VBR.

I can specially recommend the dub section there.

I NEVER SAID HELLO, so..

..don't expect a good bye.

I'm about to quit Instant Passion these days.
Providing just links to selected music is a too poor concept. I almost totally lost interest in visitors being directed to here by google search results. Instead I make a move towards a more challenging development and focus on my new web design job from now on.

I'll come up with something different soon. Different content, far more personal.
Perhaps I'll let you know the new URL here. Perhaps rather not.

However, thanks for dropping by,

Tzolk'in - Haab'

Tzolk'in - Haab'

Like an epiphytic outgrowth from formalistic cues, Tzolk’in achieves musical, technical and spiritual success without sacrificing its critical artistic engagement with apocalyptic motifs. Expect music both thrumming and viscid, bathed in swathes of chimeric color and decorated with refined and subtle gestures; prepare to be immersed and transported.

The Normal

The Normal

Mute 001

1.    T.V.O.D.        
2.    Warm Leatherette

The only single by Miller's musical project The Normal. It was the very first release on his Mute Records label, and an early example of the then-burgeoning industrial music genre.
The lyrics of the song reference J.G. Ballard's controversial 1973 novel Crash.


It was recorded using 2 ReVox B-77 tape machines in Miller's apartment. With 'Mute 1' written on it, it sold 30 000 copies.

Laurie Anderson - Bright Red

Can't remember why I didn't like when it came out. Perhaps because the songs fade out after story been told. Yep, bad attitude. Actually all the well crafted and appealing music is just here to make her little poetry more shine. The cover says it all.

Bel Canto - White-Out Conditions

Bel Canto - White-Out Conditions

The debut album by Norwegian band Bel Canto, with Geir Jenssen (who left the band later to release music as Biosphere), White-Out Conditions is utterly beautiful and harks back at early Cocteau Twins stuff, albeit with an obvious electronic touch.

Brian Eno - Long Now

Brian Eno - Long Now

Aa rare promotional CD once offered to wine sellers (!). It features five unreleased tracks, in the same mood as his 2003 album, "Bell Studies for the Clock of the Long Now": compositions that experiment possible melodies and atmospheres for bell towers. Relying on  digital bell sounds, processed through various reverbs and delays, these compositions create strange and hypnotic soundscapes with cycles of repetition ruled by mathematical laws.

Brian Eno says, "The experiments sometimes try to simulate existing bells, and imagine different sorts of bells, bells which may indeed be physically unmakeable."

Cluster - Grosses Wasser

Cluster - Grosses Wasser

The diversity of styles on the various Cluster albums, with significant changes in musical direction from one release to the next, makes it difficult to categorize Cluster's music. The factors which are present on all 13 albums include the use of electronic instrumentation, loops, and the use of unexpected sounds to create a sense of experimentation.

Grosses Wasser is the seventh album by the electronic music outfit Cluster. It was co-produced by former Tangerine Dream member Peter Baumann. Grosses Wasser marked the return to Cluster working as a duo of Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius after two albums collaborating with Brian Eno.

This Kind of Punishment

Interesting 80's New Zealand band. Sound, voice and atmosphere sometimes reminds on Camberwell Now, except here aren't any drums really. Mostly keyboards, piano, and guitar recorded on a borrowed 4-track recorder, first released in an edition of 1000 in 1983. A much sought after collector's item until its CD re-release.
