🎼Explorando la música más allá de los límites: Un viaje por los eclecticismos sonoros

Poco a poco, mi búsqueda de nuevas experiencias musicales me llevó a explorar corrientes aún más diversas. Desde la electrónica experimental hasta la fusión de culturas y estilos, cada nuevo encuentro musical ampliaba mis horizontes y enriquecía mi comprensión del arte sonoro.

Y así, de los estruendos del metal a las melodías sutiles del jazz, mi viaje musical me condujo a estos grupos que desafían las etiquetas y las fronteras. En su música, encuentro un reflejo de mi propio viaje, una amalgama de influencias y experiencias que se entrelazan para crear algo verdaderamente único y personal.

Empezaré por enumerar algunas de estás bandas: Arve Henriksen, The Herbaliser, Air, Funki Porcini, Coldcut, The Dining Rooms, DJ Krush, Peace Orchestra, DJ Vadim, Lars Danielsson, Skalpel, Quantic, Tejo Isungset, 9 Lazy 9, Clutchy Hopkins, Glen Porter, Onra, The Sound Defects, Roger Molls, Smoke city, Amon Tobin, Gasoline, Karmisky experience.

Skalpel - Origins - Polish downtempo dons back with a 16-track double LP; they make even the fast beats seem relaxing

[top-the-cat]

I've bought loads of records since I last did a vinyl update and to be honest, there has been a lot of bargain basement bullshit in there... Don't get me wrong, there have been a few diamonds in the rough and at a couple of quid a pop, they are even more precious when you find them!

But I'm not going through them today as there are loads to fuck about with and I would need to go through them all to remind myself what's worth listening to again, and what's worth just chucking...

So we will start with my two latest acquisitions from Ninja Tune:

First off, a slice of sample heavy Polish trip-hop jazz from 2003. This was right from when I had my love affair with Ninja and greedily hoovered up most of their offerings; some I paid for, some I acquired via certain file sharing facilities, and then later ended up working for them so got them all for free!

I bought this mainly as it was cheap on their website and it meant I would get free delivery on my next record. But yeah, it's cool, jazzy, quite drum heavy, but not heavy drums, if that makes sense? More easy/swing style breaks and loops, with plenty of double bass and bits of chopped up piano and vocal snips. The sort of thing you could play to the father-in-law, who likes his jazz classic and easy, but appreciates that it evolves over time... (I played him the video of Kid Koala doing his Drunk Trumpet routine the other day and he was well impressed)

Skalpel by Skalpel

Now this, I could probably play a couple of the tracks to the father-in-law, as it is very much a jazz inspired album... but some are more towards the Venetian Snares end of the jazz spectrum, than the Ramsey Lewis end!

This was one of the albums that really defined my listening habits in the early 00's and opened me up to all sorts of jazz, drum & bass, trip hop, and breakcore sounds that I still blast to this day.

Originally released in '98, I think it was most likely Sordid that I first heard on one of the Zen compilations and was hooked on this slow, dark, jazzy, breakbeat sound and needed more. So I got hold of the Album and full on ingested it at every opportunity. This then led on to a full-on obsession with Amon Tobin where I actively sucked up all his stuff for quite a while. But like all good love affairs, it can only last so long and eventually we parted ways after five albums, two EP's a live mixtape, and getting guest list passes to his album launch party.... Which was a wicked night out, but he essentially played a hard electronic drum & bass set, which wasn't where I was at, so we called it a night.

I would check in occasionally, but he was living in the wilderness with some chap called Double Click and going by the name Two Fingers by then, making atmospheric dubstep sounds. Although that partnership didn't last long, his new found atmospheric dubstep thing continued and we were moving in different circles by then.

He did pop up on the theme tune to Orphan Black a few years later with a dainty fairy tale inspired snippet of music, and I tried out a few of his newer offerings, but the Goddess Tatiana Maslany was on the scene by then, so we wasn't going to get a look in anymore!

Anyway, twenty odd years later and I get an email saying that the latest classic Ninja Tune album to be repressed with a fancy updated artwork and coloured vinyl is this; Permutation. (I picked up Out From Out Where on gold vinyl, last year) And I'm all giggly at the thought of rekindling a lost love, even more so when it's on deep purple, heavyweight vinyl and comes in a die-cut sleeve with posters and enhanced artwork by Openmind/DJ Food....

Until I found out it was only available in the US and it would cost me £80 to get it shipped over!

Maybe it was a sign? I didn't need to relive that part of my life to that extent and £80 is a lot of money to spend on a single record that I already have on CD and haven't listened to in years anyway.

And they do say that you should never go backwards to an old flame...

On the other hand, the standard black vinyl still comes with the artwork and die-cut sleeve and it wasn't eighty fucking notes! So I threw caution to the wind to see if there was still a spark between us and you know what? It's still there...

After all these years, he still makes me feel giddy when those gentle easy going jazz loops get darker and moodier and those drums come in and get chopped up and roll and the bass wobbles my balls!

I've listened to it start to finish three times in the last few days and it's like nothing has changed between us in all these years. The track list has been changed and there is a bonus tune on the end (which I knew but was never on his albums) which has made it the same, yet totally new and I'm all in love with the god damn Brazilian break charmer all over again... let's just hope he doesn't break my heart this time!

[kittie1996]

what are some bands you’d recommend that are similar to kittie?<3333

OTEP 100% my favorite album is sevas tra (steer clear of their newer stuff tbh) but her lyricism was PEAK back in the day and they have a similar sound and similar themes too. i like my ruin a lot too and it follows the theme of girl metal and tairrie b kicks ass shes AWESOME. let me think, straight line stitch is also incredible, we are pigs had a collaboration with morgan lander that’s amazing, kidneytheives arent necessarily similar but still worth a shot if you enjoy kittie, a couple of babes in toyland songs (ariel, istigkeit, 22), you might also enjoy scarling!! oh and butcher babies and jinjer ofc :3 bands fronted by men that are also worth mentioning are saliva, slaves on dope, psychea, glassjaw, coal chamber, and static x

SUPPORT THE SCENE: PATCHMAKER DANIEL SKALPEL'S CANCER FIGHT

Supporting bands by buying their music and merch is massively important if you want to help them to keep going and do what they do best! And this is something we love to highlight here at TheNwothm. But today I am highlighting something a bit different. Cancer affects many people worldwide and of course many of us in the metal scene will have had family affected by cancer. So today I wanted to…
