angelmaker records
ra-x over at angelmaker records took some time off to kick his page into extreme minimalism. nice one v.

(ohh, and it´s turned white overnight)


midisko || is your disko
not a novel concept, but a neat design - midi versions of well known songs straight outta the rock & pop hall of fame over at midisko.


futurepop
while i generally make it a point to steer clear of the dark/goth scene, i always had a soft spot in my heart for two of the so called "future pop" bands - seabound and assemblage 23.

now both of them have new records, well cds really, out and where seabound have taken the big step and delivered a high-quality electronic pop record, a23 just fall flat into their own muddy goth-trance puddle. which is a shame, as i quite like tom´s voice...

as evident on their first album, seabound really shine in their slower, introspective moments, so they and their label (dependent, also from the g-town) have to be applauded for taking the risk, exploring that direction further instead of recording a low-risk dancefloor album.

a23, sadly is a case of "same old - maybe even worse".
i really wanted to like that record...


toytronic | electronica
toytronic
very nice electronica, or as we call it "friendly electronics".


out with the old - in with the new
right now:

a redesign of this and the we rock like crazy site. it was fun while it lasted, but it´s getting ever more convoluted and confusing, so it´s gotta go.


the fabulous kakapo
when all is said and done the kakapo is still just an incredibly fat parrot. but also one of the rarest birds, facing possible extinction any day now.
save him!
