When My Baby Was Mine by Karlos the Jackal

Posted by on 2012-02-20 No comments

When My Baby Was Mine sounds like tragic 1950’s pop, with some extra fuzzy guitar-sounding thing that’s actually an autoharp.

Previously, I posted Karlos the Jackal’s Happy, which I said reminded me of The Magnetic Fields, and having said that of course there’s some similarity here too.

Cyanotic – Deface (Ad-ver-sary + Dirtybunny = Industrial Strength Mix) by Jairus

Posted by on 2012-02-16 No comments

Cyanotic – Deface (Ad·ver·sary + Dirtybunny = Industrial Strength Mix) is aggro, stompy, crunchy industrial. A previous song of Jairus’ was here; it’s mellower, but still dark & fun.

I don’t think I’ve said this lately, but I don’t do themes here; I’m posting songs I like in chronological order. The transitions are sometimes more interesting than others.

Clab (Vote For Chope 2008) is a sort of hypnotic, intricate, and noodly electronica song. It was made on a PalmOS device, & released under Creative Commons, for sharing & remixing – the tiny source file is still available.

It’s _aa_’s only posted song.

Fantastische Farben by hellphish

Posted by on 2012-02-08 No comments

Fantastische Farben is a chiptune song, with instruments from an emulated Commodore 64. It starts simple, but gets rolling a minute in. I like the repeated builds.

So far, this is the only song hellphish has posted.

Snow Girl by ratla

I think Snow Girl is a dance remix of a song from the Russian cartoon, Nu Pogodi. It’s cheesy & fun.

Here’s the original cartoon, with a translation.

Electro-wank by Evstar

Posted by on 2012-02-03 No comments

Electro-wank sounds a lot like early New Order – the synths, the guitars, the drums. It’s instrumental, with filtered guitars and synths. It’s sort of dreamlike.

Wasting Time by sparkletone

Wasting Time is hypnotic – it putters along like clockwork. It’s instrumental electronica.
