Danimal Cannon and Zef – parallel processing (CD)
I bought this one out
of sheer curiosity at Renaissance Montréal (again, I just love this
place) for 2.00 $. It looked and felt like electronic music. All the songs were
created using LSDJ on Nintendo Gameboys, therefore it`s
electronically oriented, that`s for sure. Danimal Cannon (real name Daniel
Behrens) is an American video game composer and chiptune music performer.
Chiptune or 8-bit music is electronic music made with vintage computers, consoles
and arcade machines. The music on this album (8 tracks = 46.06 minutes) mixes
chiptune with glitch and electronics. Imagine music created with the Amiga, the
Commodore 64, the Sega Master System or the old NES. Interesting, but not my
cup of tea. I prefer hearing the original NES videogames soundtrack, for
instance: Super Mario Bros 2 & 3, Kid Icarus, Robowarrior,
Felix the cat, Adventure Island and Superpitfall. Here`s

Alice and the serial numbers – obit (CD)
Alice and the serial numbers is a one-woman electronic music band. Alice Bernier
uses samplers, synthesizers, sequencers, guitars and computers. She works with
a laptop computer and midi controllers when she performs live. Obit
which came out in 2003 is her second album (10 tracks = 39.44 minutes). I think
I have a copy of her first album titled Mission_01 lying somewhere at my
place. Upon hearing this CD, I would love to see her live. The music is a mix
of electronic an electro which sometimes feels / goes into old 8-bit videogame
music territory (anybody out there remembers the NES?). Like any artist, some
influences come to mind here: Oeuf Korreckt, Visage, Human
League, Robot Boulanger, I am robot and proud and Kraftwerk.
A good album with lots of groovy, dance floor grooves. Groovy robotic electro
with some nice hooks and a human touch. Standout tracks are:
2 – La musique artistique
(4.05 minutes) = amazing retro techno à la Kraftwerk.
10 – Serial numbers rocks
(3.47 minutes) = rock and roll electro style baby! Good stuff. Some info here: http://www.alicemusik.com/
