Appian Sounds Ireland レコード& CD

Review: Having broken their run of multi-artist EPs earlier this year via a fine debut album from Lost Epcot, Appian Sounds reverts to type with another compilation style 12" featuring four formidable cuts. Outlier sets the tone via the off-kilter audio haziness of "Adrift", an atmospheric ambient cut full of gentle melodies, distant jazz drums and field recordings, while Bas Dobblelaer delivers the melancholic, emotion-rich shuffle of "Coincidence", which sits somewhere between hypnotic minimal techno and early 90s IDM. On the flip Tarik Hensen ups the tempo and intensity on the locked-in deep space techno hypnotism of "Dimma Lyset", before Kloor offers up a slightly bouncier and even more intergalactic interpretation of rolling techno bliss.
