MINIMAL SOUND FRAGMENTS
• tube'|236 - Naoto Taguchi - Untitled 8 fragments ordinaries sound materials
«Japanese musician Naoto Taguchi comes back to test tube for another release in his 'Untitled fragments' series. Not surprisingly, 'Untitled 8 fragments ordinaries sound materials' is the logical followup of the 'tube150' release we published more than two years ago.
Once again, expect more subtle field recordings mixed with gentle and apparently scattered electronic micro-sounds, in what is becoming Naoto's trademark aesthetics. Somehow, it's becoming clear to me that there's a distinctive 'Japanese electronica' feel about his music, some kind of minimalist music-box-like electronica.
Naoto's friend and artist Shigehiro is also once again responsible for the excellent artwork for the release. Enjoy!»

OTHERWORDLY GENETICS
• tube'|235 - Starschreck - Raised in a spaceship
«Dan Schreck returns with a new solo work after the collaboration album 'Lost soundtracks from the wizard of oz'. This time Dan goes farther away from experimental electronics into electro/synth territory.
'Raised in a spaceship'
is a short EP that embraces danceable rhytmhs as well as vocoder lyrics and 8bit videogame soundtrack influences. Track 08 'Mario Sisters' is an obvious tribute to the worldwide famous Nintendo videogame.
We hope that you enjoy this as much as we did.»
