only the briefest of journal entries, as this is well overdue. this album has become the soundtrack to my life, and i'm too busy to listen to it to have time to even write about it, hahaha! ;)

suddenly drum'n'bass has got a grip on me as never before, though i must mention that i also own Stars Lights The End which is another great album. however, this is so much more exciting!!! for a start, it is a double cd, containing an astounding 40 tracks, so no wonder you can easily play this nonstop and not get bored with it, lol!

naturally, there are lots of tracks here on last.fm: Submerged.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/purplevelvet/journal/2009/02/07/2gset0_marching_dynamics_-_the_workers_party_of_haiti Sat, 7 Feb 2009 16:52:45 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/purplevelvet/journal/2009/02/07/2gset0_marching_dynamics_-_the_workers_party_of_haiti Marching Dynamics

Highly recommended new release from Marching Dynamics, I have been looking forward to this!

MARCHING DYNAMICS - The Workers Party Of Haiti



tracklist:

going under
detuning purpose
bizango datura
ability to distance
the apparition speaks
Confederate (Elementals' Soul Fire) Remix Edit
power freak
wrong volt
29° (marching dynamics vs. tonikom)
situations vacant
doorbells in amsterdam
the spoor of the wolf in the wet earth
eschelons (the ninth life)

This is what the press release has to say about it:

"what about darkness..?"

it was worth waiting more than a year for the second aural manifestation of s.talada's darker self. m.d.'s unique mix of intelligent dance music, dark experimental sound layers and technoid beat'n'bass patterns enthused a large audience worldwide on the previous nailsleeper release. now it's the time for the workers party of haiti to take over...

music as diverse as moody atmospheric dark ambient tunes, slow hop-beat-driven sub-bass monsters and fast dance tracks built upon hard hitting breaks. this album displays talada's ability to merge all these
styles into one instead of simply stringing them together. crisp percussion blasts meet soundtrackish synth lines while aggravating your somatic responses - distortion from detroit meets with los(t) angeles
industrial gloom - dark complexity amalgamates with rhythmic intensity...

"the workers party of haiti was my own exorcism from the demon that surrounded me and that was haunting me." (s.talada) - join the exorcism!

i'm really looking forward to the upcoming new album by Totakeke, due out 23 sept 08.



This is what the label website has to say about it:

Coming in September 2008 on Tympanik Audio is the companion CD to Totakeke’s critically-acclaimed album ‘eLekatota - The Other Side Of The Tracks‘ appropriately titled ‘Forgotten On The Other Side Of The Tracks‘.

13 new and forgotten Totakeke masterpieces from the ‘At The Train Station On A Saturday Evening‘ and ‘eLekatota‘ album sessions, seamlessly mixed and mastered to flow like a new collection of work. Futuristic Industrial rhythms meets uncompromising complexity with all the innovation and quality you have come to expect from this master of abrasive and melodic electronic music.

Side-Line magazine calls Totakeke “…impressive” with the “potential to become a reference in the current Industrial scene” and Igloomag says “…original… a widely varied and ever-changing sonic soundscape of moods, textures, rhythms and atmospheres.”

Includes hard-hitting remixes by Lucidstatic, Pandora’s Black Book, and Terrorfakt.

As an added bonus, we will be offering a free 12-track download compilation of Totakeke’s work titled ‘Past:Present:Future‘ featuring selections from the entire Totakeke discography including 4 new tracks from the upcoming DCD full-length album ‘The Things That Disappear When I Close My Eyes‘, slated for release in early 2009 on Tympanik Audio.

Intelligent Rhythmic Industrial at its finest…
