Comment: if your days are packed then your task is just to unzip them. It does mean that if you are finishing off your any day you can say that you have added (much) more good in comparison to the previous one. For instance, clean up your room, listen to music, make some comments about it and thereof promote other people's music, read the books and think of it, do not pollute the environment, take care of other people, make good job in overall. And of course, take care of yourself. By listening to Fuellsand it can be said the members of it did unzip some new perspectives in indie music. Lo-fi progressions with a guitar and improvisations on a rusty keyboard are accompanied by field recordings, sonic effects, off-kilter orchestrations, hip-hop chants and scratches. At My Algorithmic Arkestra one can hear something that makes difference even in the band's own terms by sounding as if a swarm of digitized bees. The following piece The Approaching Siren (Reprise) reveals their compelling inclination towards krautrock and Miles-esque jazz. The self-titled track pays tribute to Kraftwerk which is backed up by some hip-hop glimpses. The bond between the aforementioned group, and the style is symbolic while it is a well-known fact that early US hip-hop musicians of African descent would find one of their anchors from the music of the legendary Düsseldorf group. This nice playful issue is a part of the discography of 12 rec., and Swift Music

Comment: these 33 minutes are fairly gorgeous ones because Sven Swift provides a flawless set of concrete sounds, balmy noisy impulses based either on vague post-rock templates or sublime drone hovers. At times these elements will be bent through some experiments on pitched effects or will be channelized into ecstatic signal-alike buzzes and psychedelic outputs. On the other side, such sort of music can be considered a modern form of nowadays New Age music. This 5-set album was issued in 2005 and obviously forecasted the coming of such band as Oneohtrix Point Never, for instance. In a nutshell, you have a chance to enjoy this excellent experimental album which unfortunately would not have got enough feedback from contemporary indie peers.
