Field Rotation – Licht Und Schatten (2009)

Licht Und Schatten

Field Rotation is Christoph Berg of Kiel, Germany.  Licht und Schatten is his first label release, and is the second release on Fluid Audio after the Hope compilation.  This EP spans seven tracks and is a trip to the softer, slower, melodic side of electronic music.  It’s really a beautiful piece of music that incorporates not only electronic sound manipulation and programming but also utilizes a few instruments.  It all adds up to a well-crafted and well-made album that just might be the perfect music to play as you find your day coming to a close.  I’m also writing this deep into the night, as a major snowstorm buries the city in two feet of snow.  It’s rather fitting.

Waveform Transmissions Volume Two – Waveform Records (2009)

Waveform Transmissions Volume Two

Waveform Records is out with their second psychedelic-dub-infused compilation, Waveform Transmissions Volume Two.  It features some of the biggest names in psychedelic dub music as well as some brand new artists that I’ve never heard of before.  The many different styles of dub are represented fairly here, I think, and the listener is bound to find a personal gem among the 10 tracks.

So dim the couch-side lamp, take a hit or seven and let’s begin…

Capsula – Sense of a Drop – Waveform Records (2009)

Capsula - Sense of a Drop

If you’re into psychedelic ambient/chill/downtempo then you’ve probably heard the name Capsula.  If not, now’s the time.  Capsula is Yosef Shamay of Israel and is one of a handful of artists that truly define what “psychedelic electronic music” is all about.  I also believe he’s been completely influenced by the video game music programmers of 20 years ago, especially the music from Road Rash 3 on Sega Genesis.  But that’s just me.

His first full-length album, Synthesis of Reality, was released on Ajana Records in 2005. He’s had tracks on compilations from Ajana, Peak Records, Moonstone Records, and Liquid Records. After four long years, he’s out with his second album, Sense of a Drop, on Waveform Records.
