Now I’m no screamo fan, and having a band like Enter Shikari appear on this blog may come as a bit of a surprise. Known mainly for their combination of electronic music and post-hardcore rock, Enter Shikari have a real treat with the first track of their album ‘Take to the Skies’.
Although it serves an an introduction into the album, mixing straight into the angsty screamo song after it; Stand Your Ground is thoughtfully crafted and has a feel of it’s own. Perhaps that’s why it got granted a title unlike the other similar-yet-not-as-great ‘Interlude’ tracks on the album. Disappointingly short (although you can’t complain as it does serve it’s duty as an introduction to the album), Stand Your Ground is worth a listen to ears beyond the land of screamo.

Today we have something special from headline name Deadmau5.
Known predominately for his banging tech-house, Deadmau5 has been releasing more diverse material under the alias ‘fuckmylife’ on Soundcloud for quite some time.
This progressive gem grabbed about 58,275 plays in about 8 hours and counting.

Aphex Twin works under his other alias AFX to bring you this mix of Seefeel/Peacock’s Time to Find Me.
Actually his 2nd remix of the track, (the other can be found here) it is a great listen. The drums hold that gritty acid sound while the rest of the tune carries an ambient relaxing feel about it. Soaring female vocals can almost be made out to be saying ‘time to find me’.
Something foreign, yet familiar, a perfect way to ease yourself into Aphex Twin‘s sound.

Continuing our ease into Aphex Twin from yesterday’s post, we have the seemingly impossible to pronounce track- ‘Jynweythek‘
Still not quite acid, still very mellow, Jynweythek introduces your ears into a new concept of sound. Your brain has been so finely adjusted by the radio and the like to hear things in-tune and Jynweythek subtley challenges that.
By no means is it unbearably out of tune, yet Aphex Twin’s use of a subtle yet distinctly odd ‘twang’ to the sound makes for this humble tune to be an interesting listen.

Aphex Twin is one crazy mofo, and his music can be a little difficult to get into, unless you ease yourself in slowly- like a hot spa.
So over the next few days I’m going to post a just a few tracks, progressively more and more acidic until you’re raving on LSD with no pants on to crazy jungle-like drums and 303 basslines.
But let’s start easy. It’s hard to believe Avril 14th is by the same twisted being that created Come to Daddy. This peaceful piano piece will NOT put you to sleep, but have you relax deeply in your chair, eyes closed without a worry in the world.
Tomorrow: Let’s get your ears prepared for something a little more acidy.

Putting on Violent Dreams is a good way of reminding you that the world is a terribly sad place…
I just don’t know how else to describe it. An unconventional and emotional track.

Like a fusion of old-experimental electronica, with the new polished stuff. Reminds me of Jarre or TRS-80

Chilled, hypnotic, clever electronica. Like stepping into wonderland, genius arrangement of Alice samples. A track anyone can appreciate.

Chilled, Brilliant. Lemon Jelly’s ‘Page One’ off the fantastic album ‘Lemonjelly.ky’ sinks smoothly into your inviting brain.
Stream bellow is a low-quality snippet of the full track. I highly recommend the download.

Chilled dubstep. Deep bass, almost ambient. Wait for that bass to come in at the 40 second mark.
Like entering a room where everything is in slow motion.
