​​🎵💿 Aphex Twin - On (EP)
Released: Nov 15, 1993
Label: Warp
Genres: electronic, IDM, techno

Denoscription on Amazon:
"Aphex Twin's On EP is clearly one of Richard James's most successful works, both artistically and chartwise (hitting the low 30s on the British charts--not bad for a rabid experimentalist). His first major release in the U.S., the weirdly club-friendly yet organic noscript track is composed of (in order of appearance) four pleasant, reverberating piano notes played in succession; a cascade of ascending and descending keyboard notes that quickly approximate a waterfall; the sound of actual water itself in form of a rainstorm; synth washes for ambient coloring; skittering sequencer rhythm notes; an antique Suicide-style beat box that sounds as if powered by steam; and a deliciously distorted, bass-heavy, repeated squeal noise that serves as the focal point of the entire piece. It's pretty neat, enough so that it's one of James's essential recordings."

​​🎵💿 Flёur - Флёрография II
Released: Nov 23, 2023
Label: - (self-released)
Genres: rock, dream pop, baroque pop, folk music, ethereal wave ...

Denoscription on Bandcamp:
"Флёрография II: ещё один реверанс в сторону нашего прошлого. Раз была 16 лет назад «Флёрография» из первых четырёх альбомов, то почему бы не быть продолжению? Тем более музыка так важна во времена, когда тьма не спешит отступать.
Несмотря на распад группы, случившийся аж 6 лет назад, преемственность никуда не пропала: в обложке релиза узнаётся авторский почерк Владислава Мицовского, а поистине монументальную работу по ремастерингу треков провёл Сергей Ломановский. Сергей сыграл в истории Flёur немалую роль: он записывал первые песни группы для программы «Атмосфера» на студии «Просто Радио» в Одессе, выступил звукорежиссёром некоторых альбомов, выпущенных на лейбле Cardiowave, а теперь переосмыслил любимые песни, исправил погрешности, вывел вокал Ольги и Елены на новый уровень – и тем самым как будто вдохнул в музыку новую жизнь."

​​🎵💿 Autechre – Incunabula
Released: Nov 29, 1993
Label: Warp
Genres: electronic, ambient techno, IDM

Denoscription on AllMusic:
"Although Autechre's debut release doesn't totally display the full experimentation which would dominate their future albums and singles, it is still striking nonetheless, as proof that the early comparisons to fellow Sheffield denizens Cabaret Voltaire weren't just misguided hype. Lumped in with the "intelligent dance music" semi-genre popular at the time, Autechre doesn't hit the same levels as Orbital or labelmate Aphex Twin, but Incunabula still stands out as being both good dancefloor material and equally pleasant listening, and not simply new-age hash with a backbeat. "Kalpol Introl" sets the overall mood for the rest of the record, with a sharp blend of minimal but effective beats and bass combined with a variety of keyboard textures and understated melodies. "Bike" ratchets the pace even more, reliant on crisp drum-machine patterns and careful arrangements to create something equally at home either in Detroit or on the autobahn. From there Incunabula follows the same general tone; tracks often experiment with ghostly keyboard backing and mostly clinical beats combined with odd, individual touches. Notable examples of this are the quirky organ sounds and vocal fragments on "Autriche" and the warning siren keyboards matched with notably more slamming percussion on "Doctrine." "Basscadet" is the album's undisputed winner at combining avant-garde touches with club underpinnings, armed with a sparkling, clanging, mid-song break and a relentless, mechanistic rhythm not a million miles away from the contemporaneous work of Seefeel, who remixed the track for a single release shortly thereafter. Despite the relative sameness in the basic arrangements of tracks covering the better portion of the album -- a few song subtractions wouldn't have hurt the 75-minute length any -- Incunabula still stands out as a better effort than many other U.K. techno albums of the early '90s."
