A colleague gave me a bunch of CD`s
he wanted to throw away. I`m always up for freebies. It might be interesting,
or not. Isolée is the solo minimal house music project of Rajko
Muller (born in Frankfurt, Germany). We are monsters,
which came out in 2005 on Playhouse is his second album. This is my first
listening experience and to be perfectly honest I`m impressed here. The music
is electronically oriented with elements of micro house, old techno, retro
electro, deep house, eight-bit music, acid, lounge, downtempo and pop / pop
rock. I wanted to check out his gear because most of the tracks have that warm
old school analog sound. Are those VST`s or the real thing. Fortunately it`s
the real thing Isolée uses a Yamaha VSS-30 and a Roland
JX-3P. I like this album it has a retro futuristic sound i.e. mixing the
old and the new. Standout tracks of the moment are
8 – Jelly baby / fish (4.52
minutes) = song oriented retro electro / techno with a nice lounge feel.
9 – Today (4.33 minutes) =
downtempo + micro house + pop / pop rock is that an electric guitar in the
background or you`re just happy to see me?
