Music Round-Up: Wieman plays Goem / NHK YX KOYXEN / John T. Gast

Wieman plays Goem -  Trenkel (Kvitnu)... intially unimpressed with Frans de Waard & Roel Meelkop's sound I played it again whilst making some art and heard it differently...the insistent bass throb infiltrated my head whilst my guard was down, penetrating my conscious listening mind as it did, I thought 'Hold on, that's good', whilst recognising that there were no deeply embedded complexities but instead the heartbeat sync before the brain-hammering of Track 2, moth flutter fuzz and waveform low-end wooziness later...

NHK YX KOYXEN feat XIX - Hallucinogenic Doom Steppy Verbs (Diagonal)... some of Koyxen's Dance Classics cuts for PAN have remained firm faves when I want a boost, a blast of fragged beats - this is just as good, a little way different, more...gnarled...and 845's epic Acid alpha beams hitting the spot...reworked Rave squelch gone over the edge on 953...808 hyperstate!

John T. Gast – Excerpts (Planet Mu)...this may be brilliant...or just very good...or plain good...it could be old-school hyno-ambient Caretaker-ish from a golden age no-one remembers...simple but then again straight plain good sounds but not in a simplistic clueless way...jackin' Congress helped me climb the stairs at Work this morning...not that anything here is invigorating...more ghost slug that leaves a slurred trail through your head...plus a modern kind of romance in Ceremony's strings-with-bass weight...and a whack from Claim Your Limbs...
