X.Y.R. - Mental Journey To B.C.






















Xyr constructs ambient tones that makes you think that you were trapped on some hot and humid island in the middle of the nowhere ocean. but when reality bites you and you realize XYR is actually hailing from mother russia you’ll soon realize that this hot and humid island actually could be freezing cold arctic tundra. music can be as much deceiving as life itself. great find. great copy. great label. LINK TO MUSIC EXPERIENCE

On a side note:

I love Not not fun. and i think it's hard to describe what that label has meant to todays contemporary* alternative music scene. there so many acts that has been coming out from that L.A. nest. Bands that has influenced other acts without telling others that it was actually NNF who formed their music. Don’t know if this is true. But at least I believe so. I also believe that there are so many crap labels out there today releasing music, not because the music they are publishing are any good but rather because they want to run their label and release something. How fucked up is that. Really?

And people without a proper music map will find this crap labels cool, without even listening or analyzing or realizing that they are experiencing shit.

Not Not Fun has never been shit. They’ve always kept it together. And they have at many times led the way for todays alternative music scene. Unfortunately I think NNF has been experiencing the inflation that has occurred because of all these shit labels. I hope they will come out of this shit label ashes. Soon.

*sorry but i cant find a better word

Chihei Hatakeyama - You're still in it



Chihei Hatakeyama is an electronic music artist from Tokyo, Japan. He released his first full-length album, Minima Moralia on Kranky Records in 2006. Hatakeyama's music is characteristically very slow, composed by repeatedly processing guitars, pianos, and vibraphones on a laptop. The result is a mix of droning chords and sparse single instruments rising above the mix. His music may be classified as either post-ambient experimental music or new-age music.

WELL HOW ABOUT THAT. UNFORTUNATLY EVERYONE WHO'S DOING ANYTHING TODAY JUST SEEMS TO COPY AND PASTE THEIR VISION OF THEIR [INSERT ARTFORM HERE] FROM SOMEONE ELSE. WHAT IS GENUINE TODAY? WELL FRANKLY I DO NOT KNOW. EVREYONE WANTS TO HAVE THEIR [ARTFORM] OUT AND HAVE THEIR FOLLOWERS (FAN BASE) BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ISNT ANY FUCKING SHORT CUTS IN LIFE.

However. Chihei is something ordinary. and it was recently out on constellation tatsu. very well made indeed. AND EXTRA CREDITS TO NICE COLOR SCHEME IN THE ARTWORK. EVEN THOUGH IT MIGHT LOOK A BIT TOO PHOTOSHOPPED.

and YES you can obtain it. just by clicking on THIS text.
