Pushy Parents - Secret Secret

Eight and a Half - And it was summer ...

Today I have to bow to me then the general weather out there in the real world and introduce you to flaky summery sounds of a band called Eight and a Half, from Toronto, comes from Justin Peroff of Broken Social Scene, Dave Hamelin of the Stills is, and has very relaxing music for warm summer evenings, at least in the current single, "Go ego". The album is released in April on Arts & Crafts - and the video clip is also very pretty to look at!

Wolfgang Riechmann

It's always amazing what you find when you are in a time-and content-but seemingly limited subject area incorporating Sun as Krautrock. You will land on pages that make you doubt that you knew something so slow. We stumble, for example, a wrongly forgotten almost Krauttroniker - a term that I think is reasonable for this type of music - such as Wolfgang Riechmann.
The Düsseldorf belonged to the orbit of the herb to core Conny Plank and Co., played in the formation Eileen and Mark Street and created after ten years as a band, finally, a supplier's own work, wonderful. It is in Progkreisen as a highlight of the so-called motor skills 4/4tel-Takt style, which is the strict, repetitive, the herb was peculiar to the Düsseldorf.
Wolfgang Riechmann - Electronic music is so wonderful at times be cold and aloof, to refute this nonsense is not difficult to Wonderful. The title track, shows that simple rhythms, backing vocals and electronic accents to find a welcoming entrance into an album, but while avoiding banality. Genre Typically one or two attacks in the face of modern listeners Intro duration 5:40 minutes fast, the concern, which is not the fault of the album or the krautischen meanders, but the listener.
With the evening light is clear that Riechmann's repertoire is broad, dark billows of rhythm, light drowns out the sine curve. By contrast, takes the album to the world of speed, the sequencer creates through its four beats per second, a comparative frantic mood, which contradicts the synthesizer by extensive, almost syncopated excursions in all registers. Blue sky shines gloriously sunny and warm with the beat that carries the song over ten minutes, and one can ignore the left-lalala deposits.
To draw the conclusion in the words of beef Jochen Frey...
Overall, "Wonderful" is a true gem of electronic music from Germany, a sleek beauty that requires no technical gimmicks and all the more offers more musical atmosphere
If you note one or the other listeners want Riechmann nevertheless very anlehne of human-machine and the solo albums by Michael Rother in terms of visual and musical style, let me tell you that the recordings of Wonderful was completed in January 1978, human machine and Sterntaler but only appeared in April 1978.
The release of his debut Riechmann not experienced the way: He was stabbed to death a few days earlier by two drunks on the street.
