Alright, I've got something a little different for you today, I know I say that everyday but this time I couldn't mean it more.
Lets start of by saying I couldn't find a flattering picture of these guys, at all, on the internet, which is insane, also I'm still not completely decided whether its one or two artists, that being said on to the music. Nero's Day At Disneyland, is/are an electric/glitch/breakcore solo/duo from Oakland California, yeah breakcore. Have a read there, or just understand that its a style of electronic music largely influenced by D n' B, Glitch and IDM, you might want to look those up too. Confusion aside I first heard their songs "No Money Down, Low Monthly Payments" and "Child Protective Services Theme Song" off the album From Rotting Fantasylands after I couldn't stand not knowing the name of Pewdiepie's intro song, since then I've been scaring my friends and family with the some of the best IDM I have in my arsenal. Before we get too far lets give you an example of how powerful this music is, as we speak I can't control my legs and yesterday I seriously thought I was the Joker and asked everyone on campus if they knew where I could find Batman. Let me put it in layman's terms, THIS MUSIC WILL FRACTURE YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS.
You guys remember the 70's right? Yeah neither do I but apparently they've infiltrated electronic music. 1200 Micrograms, is an psychedelic trance act from Ibiza, and that guy with the glasses is the frontman, Raja Ram, I'm pretty sure I read that right. Now before you start questioning my credibility lets just say that I only heard about these guys last night when my roomate decided it would be a good idea to play Black Ops and listen to trance, maybe not such a good idea. Originally obtained via a torrent compilation called the Time Machine, the tracks I have are from all over the place so I'm just going to link you to their first album and from there your life is your own. Their self titled album, 1200 Micrograms is nine tracks in length and was released in 2002, and please for the love of Talos don't look up the album art, its embarrassing. Apparently all went well when it was released because they released a further SEVEN albums, all just as crazy and drug fueled, that being said the tracks I have are top notch one of them even contains samples from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, so grab it up and don't tell your parents.
Welcome to the twentieth edition of Toxic Tuesday, I've got something a little different for you today. Magnus Birgersson, a.k.a. Solar Fields, is a swedish electronic musician. Since he was a teenager he has been playing piano, drums, percussion, and keyboard in several bands, but in 2001 he launched Solar Fields. Solar Fields to me is a musical hallucinogenic, you might as well make this stuff illegal. I mean theres trance music, then theres ambient, but when you combine the two you get something truly unique.
Last night when I was roaming around the web looking for an album by Phutureprimitive (we'll save that for later) I stumbled onto Transmission Seed, wordpress site with a tonne of unique electronic music. I pillaged as much as my computer would let me and spent most of today completely zoned. I was at the eye doctor today and they hit me with three sets of eye drops, which made my eyes burn and diluted my pupils so much everyone I tried buying sunglasses off of thought I was tripping acid. So while my eyes felt like they would fall out of my skull I found my self concentrating on music (before my headphones shitted out), lets just say I had some amazing day dreams. I encourage everyone to download this album, maybe it will help you sleep, maybe it will power you down the highway, whatever the use you won't be the same ever again.
You may remember way back when, I mean nineteen editions ago, our first Toxic Tuesday, we had an amazing track from french electronic artist Pyramid. Well this last week, celebrating 1000 likes on his Facebook page he released a ten track masterpiece for free.
Big thanks to Musigh for catching it, and many others. I thought at one point I had Pyramid figured out, his last album was to me "stereotypically french" don't ask me to explain that, it just sounded like a lot of french electronic. With the release of Lost In Space my classification has been shattered along with any concerns I had for my hard drive space, this is a must download. The entire album is a masterful mixture of synth-pop, bass, DnB beats, and a little french for colour. Grab it up and please consider giving this talented artist some money over at his Bandcamp.
Hope you enjoyed the twentieth edition, its a big occasion for me and I know todays artists did it justice. Please consider supporting the musicians and blogs I pilfer, as well as following the blog with Google, or liking our Facebook page.
