Graffitti
Here is a gallery of graffitti. I took these photos over the course of about one year, from 2005-2006, in downtown Wilmington, NC.
Schilli-San – Smooth Situations
From the German net label Sofasound comes Schilli San. Smooth Situations is indeed what this release is all about; it doesn’t get much smoother. I once heard that if the mirror inside the hubble space telescope was scaled up to the size of the Atlantic ocean, the imperfections would only be a couple thousandths of an inch high. Thats how smooth these seven tracks are. Jazz influences combine with slightly glitchy drum tracks and acoustic instruments are mixed with synthesized instruments and samples that drive the whole thing home. Smooth Situations is a don’t miss release.
Equivallentium – Unexplainable
From the Stretching Spaces netlabel comes Equivallentium with fifty five minutes of fast paced drums and classic synth sounds. I’m not sure if this is breakbeat or hip hop or techno or what, but it is definitely worth a listen. BTW, to find it you need to scroll about two thirds of the way down the page; it’s listed as ‘STRETCH017’.
Kliment – Time Revision A
Kliment is standard trance, but this release stood out. Subtle changes and classic synth sounds coupled with odd sound fx and vocal samples set the mood for two hours of grooving electro.
