One of my Facebook
friends recommended this album. I was curious, never heard of Monroeville
Music Center before. I got it from www.bandcamp.com . I`m listening to this going
to work. I have to admit, I`m pretty impressed. This was recorded with old
analogue synthesizers, namely the Optigan and the Orchestron. It
sounds like a music mixture of Kraftwerk (with less sequencing),
Plone and maybe a little dose of Monsieur Blumenberg here and
there. The music is a potent blend of minimal electronics / synth with some
elements of funk, lo-fi pop, psychedelics and minimalism. And yes, it does sound
vintage, and I mean that with total respect here. This was an enjoyable
listening experience. I like everything in there. Standout tracks
are:
04- song#4 (2.45
minutes) = weird, mellow, syrupy minimal electronics, miam,
miam.
05- song#5 (1.44
minutes) = nerdy, melancholic electronica, great stuff.
07- song#7 (1.49
minutes) = old school (it sounds like those dirty seventies) analogue electronic
music. This album is
short, nine tracks with a total running time of 15.50 minutes. Sort and sweet indeed. More info
