Alog has posted the tracklist, cover art and sound samples for their new album "Amateur": http://www.alog.net/
Definitely one of my most anticipated releases for the year - Alog is my #1 favorite electronic act. Look in the right-hand column of their site for updated tourdates as well.
Rune Grammofon has posted some details for Alog's new album "Amatuer", due out April 23: http://www.runegrammofon.com/artists/alog/rcd_2063_-_alog_amateur
Rune Grammofon has announced that they'll be releasing the new album "Commuter anthems" from Opsvik & Jennings on March 26 and a new record from my favorite electronic act Alog somewhere near the end of April.
Alog's remix of one the famed FM3 Buddha Machine loops is available for streaming: http://alog.net/mp3player.swf?file=soundclips/FM3remixD
The comp from which is comes: http://www.dotshop.se/ds/release.php?code=STAUBGOLD72CD
Norwegian electronic act Alog will perform live on WFMU tonight at Midnight Eastern time. If you can't catch it live, look for a recording in the archives tomorrow.
Tsukimono's new album "Née" is the perfect release for Kalligrammofon to follow up Viktor Sjöberg's "On a winter's day". Both artists utilize guitars and found-sound as the main source for their art, but what they do with it is totally different. Viktor tends towards the quiet and complative and yes, even romantic (as Kevin points out in his review) while Tsukimono (aka Johan Gustavsson) is often far more frenetic and noisy. This particular piece that I've posted today reminds me a bit of Alog with its steady melodic rhythm. Processed guitar tones chime, twist and turn until the rains come in and their true nature is revealed. It's a beautiful transition that perfect captures the summer day that inspired it.
Tsukimono - Gathering heavy breathing

It was really difficult to pick a song from Galento to post. Their new album "From the sea" is even more obtuse than their previous work "Golfstarblue". I suppose you could call them post-rock as they are definitely in the business of creating epic soundscapes, but there's way more artistry here than usually demonstrated in that genre and they lack the usual quiet/loud dynamics. No, this truly qualifies as "experimental music". They take organic musical sounds, chop them up and put them back together and then throw in elements of electronics and found-sound. At times I'm reminded of Negativland, other times it's Alog or maybe Majessic Dreams. It's mysterious and evocative, like the soundtrack to an abstract movie. The problem, as said above, is that it's extremely difficult to pick out one section of the record to represent the whole. No, scratch that: it's impossible. Hopefully this one piece stirs up your interest enough to check out the rest. It's worth it.
