Juan Trip' - Fireplace (2008)

VERY NON-CONSISTENT BUT A GOOD EFFORT
ARTIST`````JUAN TRIP'
ALBUM`````FIREPLACE
GENRE`````ROCK, PSYCHEDELIC, RETRO
YEAR````````2008

WHY:
This could have been a much better album but some amazing tracks make up for the general lack of coherence.

A RATHER NERDY ALBUM REVIEW (by someone?):
With twenty new tracks Juan proves that the mixture of futuristic music and the spirit of the Sixties and the Krautrock area mustn’t end up in a tasteless disaster. You know it’s easy, pick up an old idea and reinterpret it new and the success comes automatically… But Juan lives a different idea; with his heads in the clouds and the heart on the ground he puts different areas, styles and ideas together in his very personal style. Surely this music sounds like Velvet Underground, 13th Floor Elevators or Jefferson Airplane, but Juan doesn’t copy this music he makes music with an own identity, with own ideas. No copy and paste music, this is intelligent song writing mixed with a futuristic view on the past. If you hear a song made by Juan you won’t compare it with the past, you will recognize it as Juan’s music. And besides all this musical comparisons and ideas there is a main aspect about “Fireplace” this is music with a message, an identity and this music that takes you far away to places you never seen before. Wonderful and bewitching! Moviedreamintelligentmusic… or do you have any other idea for a name for such an outstanding music?

ALBUM REVIEW
Bad Vugum's saga continues, this time with a release by Aavikko from Siilinjärvi, Finland. The group's previous record was a self-titled EP, interesting in itself because of its distribution: Apart from the hi-fi CD version, there was also a 7" version including the same songs but recorded on a lo-fi cassette recorder. Not only that, but the music itself was innovative: Aavikko was redolent of Add N to X's punkish qualities: acoustic drums and cheap keyboards playing songs strongly influenced by Russian folk music and Finnish synth-based themes. Derek! is a natural follow-up. The main concept is pretty much the same, but the production (if there is any) is better and the guys in Aavikko have a better idea of what they're doing. And although the sound quality is quite lo-fi, it represents Aavikko's punkish attitude and fits very well with the band's music. Melodies, which naturally are very important to Aavikko's music, are somehow naïve and childish, but then again it's intentional and the band itself possesses self-irony. Derek! is far from perfect; Aavikko still has a lot to learn and yet the band sounds innovative and new. Despite some limitations, Derek! is a great example of the notion that the most interesting music can be found on small record labels.

V.A. MUSIC FOR CRASHING YOUR CAR VOL. 3 (2010)

FINALLY THE THIRD VOLUME FROM MY "CRASHING SERIES"
ARTIST`````VARIOUS
ALBUM`````MUSIC FOR CRASHING YOUR CAR VOL. 3
GENRE`````ELECTRO, TECHNO, ROCK, EXPERIMENTAL, REPULSIVE, OFFENSIVE
YEAR````````2010

WHY:
Damn it took me a looong time to complete this one. I have no idea if I will be able to compile a bunch of destructive tracks that I loved this much. It was really hard because I just couldn't find enough non-trendy tracks that have enough power and style to fit together nicely. As usual, I tried to span genres and years but remain in the electronic domain the most. This 3rd Crashing compilation is darker than the humorous 2nd one. It gets really black at some moments actually. Leave some feedback - I'd like to hear your thoughts on this compilation.

Anyways, I want to thank everybody on a beautiful support I enjoyed for quite a while (even when I'm absent for several months). Few new comps and some sequels are coming soon so stay tuned.
