Muhr is Canadian Vincent Fugère, the man behind the influential Camomille netlabel and also the record label Apegenine. Sadly, some months ago he made the decision of focusing his efforts to other areas and the labels closed down. Muhr has released albums on several notable netlabels including 12rec, Serein and Miasmah. The new album carries the title "Farewell Anthology", which might signal something that could be interpreted as being the last Muhr album. But such artistic decisions are often not final, conditions and life situations change, but the desire to create music stays in you. Naturally, Muhr is warmly welcomed back any time.
The artist's words: "This is an album about parting ways. A soundtrack to many goodbyes I've had to commit to and an ode to the tiny tragedies of life. As we all turn the page to a new chapter of our lives, some things need to stay behind."
This has been in increasingly heavy rotation since I bought it a week or so ago. I think it is already my favorite Bluetech album, and my favorite DiN release for a long time. If you like analog synthy stuff, this is a great release. A candidate for my favorite album of the year so far.
(If I remember rightly, my first ever post at emusers was about a Bluetech album.)
I bought this a few weeks ago by mistake and only just realized it was an album I didn't have.
I saw it for a low price in the Experimedia sale, and somehow assumed it was this one based on cover art similarity and foggy recollection of album titles:
I already had Temporal Enhancement digitally, and thought I was just upgrading the medium for a few dollars, so when it came I just filed it away without fanfare. I just realized it was actually Amplified Presence, which I didn't have. So now it feels like getting a new album for free
Funnily enough, I think that was in the end more fun than if I had bought the album I thought I was buying...
From the Hidden Vibes catalogue and recommended by @Germanprof, and now me:
This self-titled album is the fifth release by Danish recording artist So I'm An Islander. The island of weird, beautiful and magical atmospheres is again explored through a melting pot of genres spanning from the neoclassical to the alternative/experimental. Inspired by the Southern Jutlandic culture, this album exposes the listener to a variety of small bits of histories and momements told through instrumental tracks. Three different visual artists from three different places on the planet were asked to contribute with some artwork to this album, and they had no limits nor guidance whatsoever; just the music as inspiration. The front and back cover (plus bonus artwork #1) are the works of Danish artist Liv Kira Seitzberg. - released March 20, 2013
This one was from AmieStreet too... either I bought way too much from AS (very, very likelys) or my random paging up through my digitized music is somehow, otherwise skewered toward AS purchases. Mysteries!
Well my Emu 3 month hold ended yesterday and like a dung beetle I returned to the pile; unsurprisingly this was the first thing that came to mind. At £5.46 is does sort of feel a bit like theft, without getting self-righteous. Funny how 3 months away can change your outlook. Great music mind. Sound albeit only in 320 is fine despite my earlier comments.
Thanks for the heads up @rostasi this is fine crazy stuff I really should pay more attention to Bandcamp Daily. Warning may make you want to burn all your rock albums at a baseball double-header.
Edit: Afro-Disiak's Chant Vaudou is surely the best dumb track i've heard in quite a while and there are many other bokers pearls of musical wisdom on here. Obviously some folks mileage will vary but, yow!
Yeah, the Discophilia is fun stuff. Actually, I didn't know that it was featured somewhere on Bandcamp Daily and was actually surprised to find it there after I got it. Bandcamp really seems to be growing with these new (and old) labels joining up. Nice Steve Dahl ref. I wasn't there at the ballpark, but I saw it unfold on TV.
And other volumes. Actually I am about half way through listening to everything I have on the Hibernate label, which is quite a lot. I am trying listening by label as a refreshing alternative to listening by artist.
