| sub rosa was known to me for years as ‘that belgian label that did all of those loosely themed post-rock compilations’ & split guitar discs’ (this was before their contemporary makeover as kunst-welt darlings). there really were a lot of them back in the 90s, mostly average, some good, a couple of great ones.
here’s one... a ten track collection of music about... water & architecture i’d assume. beautiful jon wozencroft photography graces the object (could very well be a touch title, aesthetically, were it not for the music itself).
all tracks are exclusive, so seefeel completists (like me) need it. slightly more ‘table-music’ than you’d expect from the lineup (even uwe’s track is fairly subdued for him). but worthy... |

| water & architecture
atom heart - seefeel - bisk - directions (bundy k. brown & doug scharin) - aer
sr120
nature, cities, water, concrete... water eating rocks, shores. cities eating landscapes, life. those two elements are interconnected, though fighting. in between there are humans, needing both elements to survive. a shelter to protect the close to 70% of water a body is made of.what is the connection, the dialogue, the potential of construction/destruction? what is the impact of architecture on water, what is its influence on modern cities?
featuring unreleased material from:
directions
post-rock with electronica flavours,featuring bundy k. brown (tortoise,bastro,gastr del sol...) and doug sharin (june of 44, him, rex...) recorded in tortoise studio, chicago.
seefeel
too pure, warp... seefeel was some unique act in the pop-electronica scene. somewhere in between folk-dub-intelligent electro. these two tracks are mixing natural rhythms, minimal electronica...
atom heart
it was the first track released by atom tm in his new studio located in santiago. it starts assome german techno groove to end into some electro-'limbo'. amazing.
bisk
the osaka post drum'n' bass wizard "desturcturer", naohiro fujikawa, in a three piece suite of sounds, strange, odd, bisk...
aer (alpha echo romeo)
aka jon wozencroft, british designer, co-founder of the touch label composer these tracks with sounds collected worldwide. architectural experimentation.
including 29 notes on water & architecture by guy-marc hinant. photos and design by jon wozencroft. |
