apan appears to be a hotbed of emerging, young talent in abstract
electronic music these days. Saag Records just released its first
album/compilation, "Anchor", which contains artists from around the
globe. Several of the artists are affiliated with some well know
labels as M3rck, U-Cover and Schematic Records to name a few. The
compilation ranges from melodic and dark idm to beautiful sound
collage and textural ambient pieces. Some of the artists on Anchor
that have made an impact in the industry are Proswell, Ilkae and
Sense. Ooi's "energy in woods" is one of the standout tracks on
"Anchor". "energy in woods" is a well constructed folk/electronic
track reminiscent of the crispness of Gel, the playfulness of
Takagi Masakatsu and the folkness of Gel's newest project,
dorine_muraillee on Fatcat Records. "energy in woods" contains
filtered piano and bells, which float around pleasant clicks and
pin pricks that tickle the ears. Kiyoshi Ono's "rcta" contains
tight and gritty beats that help mold his dark melodies. Anchor's
monster track is Sense's "simple jam", which is anything but
simple. The track is filled with clusters of tones weaving through
thick, muddy dubscapes, piled on top of rigid beats. SaagRecords
should be placed in the record bin near labels like Active
Supspension, Progressive Form, Carpark and of course M3rck. Pure
ear candy! --http://www.staalplaat.com
