----------reviews---------Remy & Synth.nl - PrimiTiveS (gr-198)
"PrimiTiveS" is the debut-album by the established Dutch synthesists
Remy (aka Remy Stroomer) and Synth.nl (aka Michel van Osenbruggen).
Although they are both musically influenced by Jean Michael Jarre,
classically-trained Remy and autodidact Synth.nl both have developed
their own style, character and approach in their music. After they got
to know each other on E-Live 2007, the two guys started developing
compositions and ideas in their own studios respectively, sending them
back and forth in the last couple of years. In later stages, they
actually joined forces by coming out, play and finalize things
together in the studio in what has ended up as "PrimiTiveS". The
outcome of one and a half years of intensive (and of what I've heard
also exhausting) work has really paid off, and is topped by another
excellent mastering job by Wouter Bessels. The nine transparent and
spatial sounding compositions (although no straight-forward melodic
songs) form a sonic adventure, featuring some powerful lead voices,
bass lines and cracking drums. But there's also room for tranquil
interludes such as the intimate "Liquid Spheres". There actually a lot
going on in this free-style kind of e-music. Besides a most
interesting sound spectrum, a lot of attention is given to detail and
the distinct layering/merging of pads. It's accessible, spatial and
fresh, but also breaths a somewhat different air than we are used to
from each of the composers. The minimal flavours, piano playing,
Schulze-touches and choir textures are courtesy of Remy (e.g. "Frozen
Cubes"), while Michel hints for the groovy and melodic drive along
soaring leads, bubbling and quirky sound effects. The latter is nicely
displayed on tracks such as "Fractured Splines", "Crashing Toroids" or
the energetic "Burning Cylinders". Like the first Boots/Synth.nl
release, "PrimiTiveS" is a fun release in which the enthusiasm of Remy
and Michel is constantly present and shining through.
Nice going guys, hat's off for this fine album!

----------reviews---------Tronestam, Johan - Roots and Legends from the North (76346)
After Far Away, an album which had seduced by its refreshing approach
of a universe prepared by Jean Michel Jarre, Johan Tronestam makes a
strong comeback with an album inspired by the legends of the nomads
from the Scandinavians countries. "Roots and Legends from the North"
presents a pallet of 10 very melodious and lively tracks with heavy,
loud and powerful rhythmic structures. Movements of pure rhythm which
follow evolutionary tangents where the primary pulsations are flooded
by sequenced arcs which free some nice jumping keys in forms as
diversified as harmonious. Synths are poetic. Torn between their soft
solos, they blow sometimes warm and sometimes dark winds where voices
of any forms tell poems, disturbing or comforting, in the trails of
splendid solos which awake the intergalactic ambiences of Jarre and
the poetic ones of Vangelis. "Secrets from the Northern Heights"
begins this Johan Tronestam's 3rd opus with glaucous pulsations which
stroll in a state of wandering among weak explosions of which the
knocks are suffocating below a dense veil of mystery. From the start,
Johan Tronestam spreads the main lines of a musical tale illuminated
with paradoxes where rhythms and harmonies embrace each other in
ambiences which inhale the legends of the North. Airier sequencer keys
skip awkwardly in the traces of these pulsations, pushing a rhythm
which resounds of its sizzling ions into mists with filets of silvered
voices. And the rhythm takes shape. Going away from its sinister
approach, it sparkles with its crystal clear chords which skip in the
jingles of cymbals and under the caresses of a synth and its soft
solos before that another line of sequences rushes to forge a parallel
rhythm of which the fine kicks pile up to form a structure which
hiccups of its harmonious rebellion. "Mountain Poems" is a beautiful
down-tempo with a lot of ambiences. The rhythm is soft and fed by some
jingles as well as by percussions with tones of hollow wood resounding
in veils of mist which float and wave in beautiful orchestral
arrangements decorated by a synth to breaths of celestial trumpets. An
acoustic guitar adorns this very beautiful ballad by singing its
melancholic poems which get mixed into delicate serpentines from which
the crystal clear sequences fall from bluish clouds. "Nordic Legends"
widens its lugubrious vampiric waves which undulate in loops under the
harmonies of a seraphic synth. A black voice recites a poem while that
the track, still semi floating, kisses a meshing of pulsations and
sober percussions which weave a kind of cosmic groove where the
delicate skipping provokes some echoing hoops which engender scattered
stroboscopic movements that a synth calms down by its warm solos.

"Opening a Door to the Past" offers a heavy rhythm. A Scandinavian
rhythm with sequencer keys which swirl and intertwine in a powerful
and heavy technoïd waltz that the heaviness makes spin at low speed.
These keys are as well powerful as incisive. They hammer a black
rhythm which greets voices with lugubrious and intimidating
lamentations, while that the synth divides its harmonies between the
spectral winds and cosmic solos. These Scandinavians voices, eroded by
winds, cold and fights, enrich the introduction of "Closer to the
Ancient Truth" which limps of its chords to legs of deer beneath the
voices of angels and synth lines which coo in loops. Percussions slam
at the horizon, entailing the rhythm towards a more steady approach.
An approach closer of synth-pop that some beautiful solos and delicate
astral voices decorate with a poetic vision.
"The Ancient Pulse still Beats" falls heavily into our ears with a
meshing of organic pulsations and knocks of percussions which forge a
rhythm which is set by serpentines to crystal clear sequences. Hoarse
voices are regurgitating a dialogue of Babel while that solos, cutting
and dreamers, awaken memories of Jarre with constantly melodious
approaches. "Brave Souls" bursts of its sequences with hybrid tones
which strum an absent rhythm beneath the intense fog of a synth to
dreamy harmonies and floating voices. A great line of piano adopts
discreetly the movement of sequences to quietly get loose from it and
to forge the lines of a melody that we could hear in the musical box
of another land. The percussions falling are undoing a little bit the
musical staging which escapes itself such as a gallop in the plains;
there where chant a synth and its suave harmonious loops. "Traces of a
Forgotten Time" follows a little the same rhythmic pattern. A tramp's
rhythm in a desert of coolness where the synth illuminates the
atmosphere of the Vikings of ice with some superb solos. Rhythm!
Always the heavy and black rhythm! And "Dominate" sinks into our ears
with heavy sequencer chords which alternate their steps in a structure
bombarded by a linear rhythm. The synths borrow these harmonious
patterns which follow the whole evolution of "Roots and Legends from
the North" with solos, as much cosmic than vampiric, guiding the track
towards more dark territories. "Roots and Legends: End Title"
concludes brilliantly an album of which the powerful rhythms are
digging grooves in our ears. The pulsations are heavy and make vibrate
the spine, as well as the walls, with curt and hammered hits where the
lapping of percussions make the toughs in front of so much rhythmic
solidity. A superb stroboscopic serpentine is diverting the attention,
diverting also the rhythm towards an approach more gang of street
kind. A kind of androgynous hip-hop where bursts a sound fauna which
has some more marvels to be told, to be blown for the most great
pleasure of our ears constantly looking for a tone, a magic harmony
which will pop out. We know this, to have experimented it since the

very first chords of "Secrets from the Northern Heights".
Jean Michel Jarre is in a lack of inspiration since a long time? Well,
long live Johan Tronestam! Seriously, this last album of the
Scandinavian synthesist is above all expectations. Johan Tronestam
succeeds an incredible tour de force by allying the harmonies and
arrangements of Vangelis, contemporary version, to the rhythms and the
cosmic atmospheres of Jarre. "Roots and Legends from the North" is one
ton of bricks which immure our ears in a world of contrast where the
rhythms sculptured in the crackling of thousand sequences and
percussions to hard-hitting sonic jumbles run into synths with magical
solos, contagious harmonies and mystic ambiances, drawing by the fact
the sides of a superb, powerful and surprising album. To recommend
without hesitations!
