If Kick I was a multidimensional self-portrait that held all of Arca's many mutations, Kick II sees her deconstruct reggaeton rhythms she grew up listening to in Caracas, balancing structure and chaos to create her most accessible work yet.
With Kick IIIII, Arca focusesentirely on quieter ambient pieces, mainly on piano, plucked strings and swirling pads. Famed Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto makes a guest vocal appearance on "Sanctuary".
Fourth studio album by English electronic musician, Richard D. James (ska Aphex Twin). Originally released in 1996, the album is regarded as his 'drill 'n' bass' showpiece.
Classics definitely captures the wild, chaotic energy that he is known for — glitchy beats, distorted sounds, & unpredictable structures are all there. It’s raw, intense, and full of “mad scientist” spirit that makes his music so unique.
First released by Drexciya's James Stinson and Gerald Donald in 1999 after establishing a cult reputation via EPs and 12"s for UR, Rephlex and Warp, 'Neptune's Lair' was issued by Berlin's Tresor to the acclaim of those in the know.
This gatefold LP leans toward late-night, tender rock with occasional cello and measured percussion. Try the opener 'Goodbye' and the title track 'Taste of Cherry' to hear the record’s tone.
