Music News - Underground Electronic Compilation
31 May 2005 - 0 Comments
Electrode Records is proud to present it's first collection of kiwi electronic music, 'Robots Dream Of Electric Sheep'.
From the impossibly happy pop of Disasteradio and the Casiotone kitsch of Golden Axe, the slick upbeat electronica of Module and the lush orchestration of Refrag, to the perfect glittering pop music of Emerald Green and the surreal mutant lounge music of the Tom Bosley Experience, this compilation has something for everyone!
Despite our unshakeable association with sheep, New Zealanders have never been content to simply follow the flock. Ever since technology made it possible to create rich and multi-instrumented music at home, kiwis have been tinkering in their sheds, innovating and refining.
This compilation collects some of the best and most individual electronic music made in New Zealand in recent years. Subtitled "Scenes From New Zealand's Electronic Underground", it aims to stimulate and encourage the electronic scene as much as it does to represent it. One side-effect of music created in bedrooms and home studios tends to be isolation - no one knows what anyone else is doing unless they make the effort to find out.
This leads to some exciting innovations and techniques, but with the huge scope for collaboration and mutual remixing that electronic music offers, it's a shame to let opportunities slip by.
Also featured are Dekline, Hieronymus Bosch, Grusome, Wendyhouse, Gastro, AmbientSpace, Flying Dreamz and Sharkweek.
'Robots Dream Of Electric Sheep' is available at Real Groovy stores nationwide, Galaxy Records in Christchurch, Marbecks in Auckland, and Slowboat Records in Wellington.
It can also be purchased for $20 plus postage directly from Electrode Records.
