“Meubles†reviewed by Bad Alchemy
Mit Meubles (Crónica 081-2013, 3 x File) bezieht sich ARTURAS BUMSTElNAS direkt auf Satles Vorstellung einer Musique d’ameublement, die Vibrationen erzeugt, ohne einen anderen Zweck zu haben. Musik, die eine ähnliche Rolle spielt wie das Licht, die Wärme und der Komfort. Satie hatte mit ‘Carrelage phonique’ (1917) und ‘Wandbehang für ein Chefbüro’ (1923) dafür erste …
“Meubles†reviewed by Onda Rock

“No End of Vinyl†reviewed by The Sound Projector
Pure I believe was this electronic extremist who did stuff for Mego and attained notoriety for sampling the run-out grooves of vinyl records to create his very austere digital music. He’s still milking the “end of vinyl†concept apparently, since on No End Of Vinyl (CRÓNICA 079-2013) he’s enlisted ten prominent electronica creators to contribute …
