The Protagonist is not the most productive artist on Cold Meat Industry, but when he delivers a new piece of work you are in for a feast.
Louisa John-Krol – Apple Pentacle
For people who follow the Prikosnovénie label Louisa John Krol is not a stranger. This musician combines ethereal pop in the tradition of Loreena Mc Kennit and Kate Bush with folk influences.
Decadence - Where do broken hearts go?
This neo-classical / neo-folk band has already built a name for themselves. Where do broken hearts go? is their debut on Cold Meat Industry.
Schatten Unter Eis – 1984
For the real connaisseurs of 80’s minimal electronics this record is a feast. It contains five tracks of authentic minimal and playful electronic music.
Guyer’s Connection – S/T
This is one of the best Kernkrach records yet! Guyer’s Connection is a Swiss 80’s elektro act with a sound that still has a modern feeling.
Beta Evers / Kommando 6
Funprox had a chat with Brigitte Enzler from Augsburg, Bavaria. She has a musical career spanning over 20 years. Nowadays she is active with her solo project Beta Evers, various collaborations and her own succesful electro label Kommando 6. Brigitte talks about her past, her current activitities and plans for the future.
First piece of Elitist Pop Culture to see the light soon
Out soon will be the first release on the new label Elitepop. It will be a 7″EP with library music tracks reinterpreted by Ich Wollte, Ich Könnte (side project of Wermut and known from the last Invasion Planète release). This thematic piece of work will be entitled Musique au mètre: A tribute to the electronic […]
New Orplid album out soon
Orplid’s new album Sterbender Satyr will be out at 24 March on Auerbach Tonträger. This new release sees Frank Machau and Uwe Nolte increasingly aiming for more ethereal soundscapes.
Closedunruh - Treffer
Hertz is the 90’s and now side of the Kernkrach label. Closedunruh has a history that goes back into the 1980’s. The material on this record is all from the 1990’s, except for one track from 2005.
Genetic Selection - Darwin’s Voyage
A little more then a year ago Genetic Selection released it debut record on Ant-Zen. That record was a hard hitting four-to-the-floor industrial techno release with a space age theme. Darwin’s Voyage is the sequel and not much has changed.
Pinknruby – Garden
On their new album Pinknruby sound more mature then before. Their ethereal acoustic folkpop style is still present but the compositions sound more diverse and the instrumentation is richer.
Bene Gesserit - Music For The Fun Of It
Bene Gesserit hopefully doesn’t need much introduction. It is one of the more famous minimal
electronics/experimental pop bands from Belgium from the 1980’s.
Corde Oblique - Respiri
Corde Oblique is the new project by the guitar player of Lupercalia. He is assisted by other musicians, like from the bands Argine and Ashram. In a fresh way this record combines a sort of gypsy folk sound with ethereal elements.
Valravn – Krunk
The sound of Valravn is in the first song very traditional, unpolished and raw. Thus very different from the tight produced electronic dance and ambient folk of related band Sorten Muld.
Tenhi - Maaäet
Is it folk? That is one thing you might ask yourself after listening to this record. Tenhi plays progressive rock with folk influences.
Kemialliset Ystävät - Lumottu Karkkipurkki
Lumottu Karkkipurkki means ‘The Enchanted Candy Jar’, which is a very psychedelic title for a very psychedelic record. The songs and sound collages on this album are built around vague electronic sounds, loops and melodies and dissonant plucked strings.
Hecq – Bad Karma
The third record for Hecq, the second for Hymen. On this new record there are still hints of other idm / electronic music artists in his music, but more and more his own style is being displayed.
Atrium Carceri - Kapnobatai
Atrium Carceri already impressed me with some intense and very dark ambient music. Therefore this new album was a release I was looking forward to.
Wermut – Anna
You never know what to expect from Wermut. The duo Laszlo and Sofia do what they want, and when they want. Thus Anna is very different from their Hoffnung 10”.
