Volgens mij is het niet zozeer het probleem dat er te weinig electronic fans dit topic volgen. Volgens mij zitten ze gewoon niet meer op MM. Deze hoek is al een tijdje morsdood, wat best jammer is.

Het enige echte leven dat er nog inzit komt van hypejes en politiek correct geneuzel.

Tja, zo dood is de electronische muziek voor mij niet alleen ontbreekt er veel. De klassiekers bijvoorbeeld, neem nu eens een album als Hidden van Coma Virus, wie kent dat?

Beta Two Agonist - Autumn Perdue
RATED: 8 / 10 reviewed by Sietse van Erve
26-7-2008

Autumn Perdue is the second full-length by Beta Two Agonist for Databloem Records. It brings us a subtle glitchy ambient album with slight influences from classical music. A pleasant listen during the rainy afternoons this summer will bring us again.

RELEASE
[ Autumn Perdue ] [ CD ]

The summer just started here in The Netherlands, although one would not say so with all the rain and storm again (as usual), and what do I find in my mailbox? A cd called Autumn Perdue (Lost Autumn) by the Catalan/Dutch musician Ian Lizandra probably better known as Beta Two Agonist. From the Dutch label Databloem we learn that this is his second release.

Beta Two Agonist gained his first interest in computer (music) when he attended Art College where he started experimenting with sounds. Inspired by error and chance he creates ambient music with huge influences from glitch. Armed with field recordings, percussion, circuit bended toys and much more electronics he creates sleepy soundscapes with a keen eye for rhythmical and other subtle details.
In the music there is a major part for classical influences which can also be heard in with artists such as Murcof or Jacaszek but it is, specially compared with the first, it is wrapped up in a more organic and less clinical sounds. Everything sounds less forced, which is a big plus in my book. Another artist that pops-up in my head is labelmate Off The Sky who creates up glitch ambient in a similar way. At some points I would even say it’s exactly the same musician who is at work here. Though, there are small details that show the differences between these two.

Autumn Perdue is a very pleasant album which shows a talent. An album that could easily fit in with your Sunday afternoons when it’s stormy weather, while reading a book or just hanging around. Even while it is summer here right now it a good one to play. One album you could buy blind when into glitch ambient music.

Hij bedoelde dat de liefhebbers van elektronische muziek niet echt MuMe zitten, zoveel zijn er hier inderdaad niet. (Ik zal Hidden nog eens luisteren en erop stemmen, speciaal voor u.)
