Review

A brand new album released on a brand new label, of producer and label owner Anthony Rother.

One of the producers that has proved himself as being capable of doing different styles, proves himself once again by releasing a new album on a brand new label (another label? yes again another label) called Stahl Industries.

With this new label Anthony Rother is going to show a different side of himself. A side none other than we have heared before. The first release on this new label which will also be the labels debut is called "Art Is A Technology".

The album consists of tracks that mainly contain synths. Expect to hear a lot of beautiful soundscapes. Soundscapes that contain the typical and recognizable synths from Anthony Rother. But after listening to the album a bit longer I found out that these is are not only the typical synths that I am used to hearing from mister Rother, but they are also different
than the usual stuff. This is the part that I cannot put in to words very well, perhaps it is because of a feeling I get while listening to this album. A feeling which is pretty nice and yet surprisingly confusing.

The use of synths in combination with other synths and strings creates a nice warm and yet beautiful dark atmosphere. This minimal use of synths is what really makes the album so interesting, because the tracks donnot exist of many (if not to many) layers, and yet you get the feeling that it is all complete. This is the kind of composition of sounds that I love to hear from Anthony Rother, the way he puts different sounds together and makes them rely on each other, the kind of composition that I somehow have not heared since earlier releases.

Although Anthony Rother has released other ambient albums in the past, I must admit that this one really beats them all. It is really hard to explain why. Is it the composition of sounds ? Or is it the feeling this album creates ? All I can say is to listen to it yourself and decide for yourself.

While listening to this release I look forward to what this new label has to bring in the future. All I hope for is that it does not become as dissapointing as Datapunk.

Floorfiller is een beetje een raar verdict voor een ambient release, maar goed. Ik ben erg tevreden over deze release, heerlijk met een wijntje erbij op de bank.

ja ach....aangezien d'r niet meer opties zijn om uit te kiezen, en waarbij floorfiller de beste was, heb ik gewoon daarvoor gekozen. maar ach, gaat toch meer om de review dan de verdict.

Ik vind hem erg sterk. Zitten echt van die stukken in die me zo'n ongemakkelijk maar toch prettig gevoel geven. Ik waardeer dat altijd wel.
