SUBNATURAL
SOUNDSCAPES VOL II
Twelve releases later... For the last couple of years subnatura has been
a small but shining icon of rare electronic music, a non-commercial alternative
for both input and output of freeform electronic music in various forms.
Since our first release Subnatural Soundscapes vol I we have dug through
the mental crates of some of the most inspired and creative people of
the contemporary, electronic musicscene.
So to wrap this baktun up and cross over from chrysalis to butterfly we
return to our own point of origin. Natur012 Subnatural Soundscapes vol
II sums this cycle up and approach you through the same method as it's
predecessor vol I. A total of nine outstanding tracks from people like
Moqawamah, Petrovski, Loot, Listenear and slem that reflects on time passed
and things to come.
Through pure inspirational force and sheer love for music we have continued
to be a whole greater than the sum of its parts. And while you download
and listen to our latest release we look forward to provide you with more
inspired releases from all the artist on this compilation in the months
to come.
Extraboy
- Firrar
Through Extraboy we recieve an indroductioncourse in aquatic-audio. Bubbling
and dripping through the sequencer, sinewaves and noises makes their way
to the surface of our ears. Syncronised ripples sets a sweeping, rhythmic
background for this marine melody.

P.N.A.C. - Trial and horror
The multi-national
crypto-production outfit P.N.A.C. will release and re-release some of
their material on subnatura. With this track composed for Feed, P.N.A.C.
invests a large ammount of time and effort to ensure you of the value
of trying, no matter what the result might be. A musical all-you-can-eat-buffet
with layer after layer of electronic dishes. "Something like a five
course dinner minced up and fed intravenously..."

Moqawamah
- WTF!
Moqawamah
asks the simplest of questions but in a new way. Harnessing the raw power
of electromagnetism and particleradiation the empress of electronics herself
comes down on us in a thundering cloudstorm of grinding distortion, howling
acidlines and dense pressurized pads. With all her usual intricate textures
and quirks plus the added furiosity of the excellent overlapping beats
Moqawamah reassure her position as the alpha-female of swedish electronica.

- WTF!.mp3
Petrovski - Bottomless emptiness
Petrovski
steps up to confess with stacks of drummachines from the past-present-phuture,
cabling, wires and some kind of controlsurface. Petrovski manage and syncronize
the whole ensemble in to a smooth-operating machine-entity of rhythm.
Serene melodies find their way through the body of the machine and spread
itself through the nerves of it's system. You can hear the machine jolt
as it comes alive.

Extraboy
- 1770
July 1st,
1770. An object referd to as D/1770 L1 came in proximty of our own very
planet, Earth. This "comet" passed only 0.0146 AU from Earth,
the closest a comet had passed our planet in recorded history. People
that were around back in the days stated that "The nucleus appeared
as large as the planet Jupiter, surrounded with a coma of silver light..."
and further that "It seemed to me to be increased in size, the shape
rather more oval than circular, the nucleus no longer in the center, but
advanced towards the northern part of the whole appearance." While
this is all very intriguing information somehow they all failed to see
the obvious facts. Extraboy kindly points theese out in his recollection
of the events.

Listenear
- Schnee von gestern
Listenear
is back on subnatura. With their usual devotion to details and fluent
dynamics Listenear continues to provoke thoughts through their music.
The dominant basic structure of the track opens up to let the different
rhythmic accentuations introduce the various melodic arrangements that
fall in and out of the track. The snow from yesterday doesn't leave any
tracks or traces as it flows in and out of existence, or does it?

Petrovski
- For the homeless
It is
a symptom really, a symptom of a society that is in a very bad state,
really sick... Through Petrovskis wonderous track 'For the homless' we
get some grip of the feeling that this state of reality or mind puts you
in. Classic donkamatic-drumbeats, bouncing basslines and squeeking saws
end up in a marvellous place alongside warm pads Petrovski style, beautiful!

Loot
- Nippon 2007 [B]
Live electronic
music is not what it used to be. But sometimes it is exactly what it used
to be. When we put Loot together for a recording session for the follow
up to their previous 'Nippon Soundtrack', sparks, hailblizzards and boltlightning
didn't waist no time before they appeared! We are more than proud to be
able to give you this track as a teaser for the upcoming releases of Nippon
Soundtrack 1 + 2 from Loot. Meanwhile enjoy this dark masterpiece simply
entitled 'Nippon 2007 [B]'
