RARITIES

Artist: Uwe Reckzeh
P: 1997/ 2006
Uwe Reckzeh’s first solo-album had been produced in 1997 uniquely. Very dreamy and strong melodies, soft harmonies, sequencer sounds a là TD and Uwe’s typical own style invite to a timeless journey. Loans from Kraftwerk like vocoders or 3D-effects, which could also belong to Jarre, create more diversification. Despite many involved genres, “Behind the Northern Wasteland” can be easily understood as concept-album. Uwe Reckzeh appoints themes and sounds skilfully which are repeated during the runtime of the album and which leave enough space for new options.
The album has been rematered professionally and the sound has been adjusted to the new albums.

With his fourth artwork „Point North“ Uwe Reckzeh invents again wonderful new melodies and enriches the EM by another gorgeous album. He shows, that it is not necessary to leave known paths and that his own style offers unlimited possibilities. “Point North” is a classical EM-album which uses many known and new sounds and perfectly unites all parts to one complete piece of art.

The belgium label Art For Ears produced 3 samplers during the 90s, which showed the current stand of belgium ambient music. The well known artists gave new tracks for the collections and it is still a very good review of the belgium Ambient scene at that time.

This impressive compilation showcases some of the most cutting edge examples of electronic listening music in the early 1990s. All contributions are of a high standard and the music still sounds fresh and innovative in 2010. Polygon Window by The Dice Man opens the first disc on an undulating, mid-tempo beat, followed by a series of sonic gems like Musicology's Telephone 529 with its spacey voice samples, the rhythmically complex Crystel by Autechre and The Clan, a semi-symphonic soundscape by I.A.O.
Some of these artists were no doubt influenced by the German pioneers like Tangerine Dream but they've evolved beyond those structures to create something quite unique. Multiple layers endow certain pieces with a profoundly cinematic quality, e. g. Spiritual High by UP! which has a trance-like texture in which different types of vocals alternate. Musicology's Preminition, on the other hand, has R&B type female vocals throughout.
On the second disc my favorites include Link's percussive Arcadian, B12's solemn Scriptures, Autechre's quirky Chatter, Beaumont Hannant's bubbling & percolating Utuba, former Cabaret Voltaire member Richard H Kirk's plinking, plonking & lilting Reality Net and Seefeel's chiming & echoing Spangle which reminds me somewhat of Popol Vuh's majestic Nosferatu.
