Amon Tobin – Dark Jovian

I added this one to my playlist a few days ago and since then I haven’t listened to anything else just keep hitting replay. A captivating experience of deep space ambient, groaning noises and ethereal voices.

Amon Tobin himself has some things to add:

“I made these tracks a year or two ago after binge-watching space exploration films. People have, from time to time, described things I’ve done as “scores for imaginary movies,” which has always irritated me, but on this occasion it’s sort of true.

Even so, what I was really trying to do was to interpret a sense of scale, like moving towards impossibly giant objects until they occupy your whole field of vision, planets turning, or even how it can feel just looking up at night.”

Ex Machina (2015)

Beautiful piece of art of a movie of science fiction. On the trail of the AI-lead chamber drama atmosphere of the Moon and as stunning as the well-crafted shorts that usually don’t come through any publishing house but are driven by the motivation of one exceptionally talented vfx artist. I have a true hard time believing that this could make it as a normal budget featured film.

So much not said but played out in this film and it is such a relief and reassurance that you just don’t have to say everything out loud to get. Also a lot room for interpretations or I could rather say thoughts transferred for progressing.

Some more poster versions come below.

Martin L. Gore – MG

It’s hard to say wether this album is something or not, either concerning genre or quality. There is a hint of DM meets Twin Peaks ambient mood, tense beat with synth, soundtrack atmosphere, deep pumping, and all else. This is rather like a personal collection of stuff laying around and being collected for some time I guess.

Apostille – Powerless

Somewhere around industrial, avant-garde and synth-something. But really this is rather an album of compositions around free associations. The free spirit of it is most definitely the best aspect here that kept me listening from beginning to end.
