alka
Electronica / Electro / Ambient mystic island |
Billboard
Seemingly caught in garageband limbo, alka (bryan michael) would have liked to believe that by 2007, humans would have progressed in their musical tastes. Experimenting in a genre largely criticized for it's lack of emotion, alka blends styles to create music that is both melancholic and uplifting; synthetic yet melodic. Alka's music is vast enough to go well with wide open spaces or condensed urban settings... it is the place where lucidity and obscurity meet.
Alka's long awaited "Principles Of Suffocation" full-length release is out NOW.! If any electronic ambient album in 2007 should be labeled elite, this is one of them. Blissful melodies, sharp and innovative rhythm work, and atmospheres bigger than the universe are all stuffed into these 12 songs. Very reminiscent of old Future Sound Of London, Arovane, Plaid, etc., but in a fresh new cutting edge way.

Thanks for letting Daft know you are here IF Daft could do a track like 'Digging a Hole' or 'Furtive' then he would know all those hours spent with the manual in one hand and his 20th cup of coffee in the other , would not have been wasted. This is - excuse me for my ignorance - in the IDM style ? Your glitchbeat treatments are very Murcof - Martes being one of Daft's all time favourite CDs. Its a pity there areno immediate downloads available to keep Daft's iplod happy - but, its been a great listening experience.
