Let’s lean back and think of all the interesting varieties in electronic music. Over the last decades a lot of interesting styles came and faded away. While some styles remained anonymous and some lost their sparkle in mainstream music, most of the remaining styles quietly disappeared into their pigeonholes, fearing daylight.

Let’s assume there was someone, still looking after those electronic styles, stuck in the dark holes of once beloved and now abandoned varieties of electronic music. Let’s say this person takes these phantoms of the dark out into the night and celebrates them on much anticipated live gigs.

Wouldn’t it be great if that someone took his experience and his time to put all this down on one CD? Well, that someone goes by the name of Moogulator. He is a german based producer and musician who dedicated his life to synthesizers and to what you can create using them.

He is about to release the Audio-CD “The Digital Anatomist Project” on AENTITAINMENT. An Album packed with the precious remains of EBM-like step-sequences, elements of drum&bass, packed with all the pure electronic styles, with advanced IDM and with clicks&cuts. The clash of styles makes you think of naming it something like digital electronic breakcore, wouldn’t there be this hint of glitch elements exactly where they enrichen the music, where maybe others would not use it. You might even be tempted to label the one or the other track as the new centuries IDM-hymn until it takes a twist and a turn into some musical psycho-thriller with an all-star cast and brings you down to earth again.

Well, they say in the real world conventions cause a lack of creativity – and that seems to be the dictum of Moogulator, too. On “The Digital Anatomist Project” time stands still for 66 minutes. Then you press repeat and hope that the future of modern electronics will feel exactly like this.
