Another net label that is currently making a mark is
Sheffield-based Audiobulb Records. Having already released a CD,
Switches, in 2004, the Audiobulb team returns with Intricate
Maximals, which collects the work of eighteen artists scattered
around the world. Yet, the only concept behind this project is to
let artists free of experimenting in whichever way they see fit, a
principle that has served the label well until now.
Intricate Maximals collects works from the labels regular roster
(Disastrato, Autistici, Claudia or new comer Calika) as well as
guests, including the likes of Ochre, Prhizzm or Another Electronic
Musician. The eighteen tracks presented here have all in common, as
the title of this compilation suggests, to be extremely diverse
intricate electronic constructions, ranging from warm analogue
electronic (Ochre, Taavi Tulev) to glitch-ridden compositions
(Calika, Marion) or complex organic formations (Diagram Of Suburban
Chaos), each defining a particular sonic space for the artist to
evolve in. From entirely electronic soundscapes to field recordings
and acoustic instrumentations, there is a great diversity of
sources to be found here. Despite the apparent mechanical aspect of
some of the music presented here, the listener is reminded of the
human implication behind these compositions by the use of vocal
samples, as on Diagram Of Suburban ChaosÆs So Gone or DisastratoÆs
Requiem Pour Une Feuille Morte.
Surprisingly, Intricate Maximals sounds far more consistent than
could be first expected, as if a running theme had been
specifically devised to accommodate the vision of Audiobulb, yet,
it is this very vision that shapes this collection, crafting every
particular angle of each track. Intricate Maximals is no short of
impressive and continue to show Audiobulb as an imprint to rely on.
