new release by @ : MONSTROUS (REMIX EP)

n January 08 irish musician @ (AT SIGN) offered us his debut album "Monotonous" (STRX024) full of luminiscent soundscapes. Now this splendid work sees some of its most captivating moments revisited by several inspired artists. "Monstrous" features the SCHNURSTRAX artists FRACTURE, whose rework of "dpa" includes the latter's typical shoegaze soundscapes full of distorted guitars, THE CHERRY BLUES PROJECT that construct & deconstruct "mtone" to create a lush and challenging aural poetry and finally KOMPARCE who add their typical warm and mellow analog-sounding beats and synths to the same track. This album introduces us some other artists as well, like Joxfield Projex or Nada Zipp from Sweden. Check it out now !

new release by @ : MONOTONOUS

Our first full album effort in 2008 crafted by @ aka At Sign is everything but monotonous. @ still focusses on the development of looped and layered ambient themes reminding of his JC+GK outfit but manages to create a very personal and unique soundworld where the instrumentation remains mostly low-key and atmospheric : quiet drum machines and plinked instruments awash in a psychedelic cloud. The finest moment of this record has to be "G V4" where gorgeous harmonies soaked in echo bump up against each other until they reach a rhythmic, fascinating crescendo.
