Aphex Twin



Artist
: Aphex Twin
Album: Windowlicker
Year: 1999
Description:"Windowlicker" comprises three tracks, each in a different musical style. The title track consists of Richard's voice modulated on computer, mixed with his trademark breakbeat snare rushes, drum samples, and mixed choir-like singing, resulting in a smooth yet erratic song, its last minute escalating into an extremely distorted wall of bass. The rare Roland MKS 80 synthesizer is also apparent just as it was on Come To Daddy. Also included is a sample of James's French then-girlfriend speaking in her native tongue (saying J'aime faire des craquottes à mon chien, translating [literally] to "I like to make craquottes to my dog", [interpretation] "I like to have sex with my dog", where craquotte is literally a sort of small, horizontally sliced, dry cracking bread, but as a second degree can be interpreted as something cute or sweet). The song could be interpreted as a parody of over-sexualized commercial hip-hop and dance music.

Saltillo


Artist: Saltillo
Album: Ganglion
Year: 2006
Description: Another gem of contemporary music, by Menton J. Matthews III (a classical trained musician from Chicago). The albums starts with a sound that reminded me of "Requiem For A Dream" OST. A journey into the depth of your soul, a mix of electronic and lo-fi (cello, viola, violin, piano, guitar, bass), accompanied by hi-class vocals. Saltillo brings trip-hop to the highest level. Downtempo pieces like "Giving In" with Sarah Matthews (amazing vocalist by the way) along with more intense tunes like "Simple Test" and eastern dreamy kind of vocals in "Grafting" will leave you wanting more. Enjoy ;)
