Paul SG, Flowrian & Pulsaar / Random Movement – Corrupt Level / Alone This Way (No Need To Stay)

2013

This week we continue on the journey through the White Label Series of Good Looking Records. I hope you had a great weekend?

    Today we have the third release on this latest burst of releases, and the GLR store was knocking out tunes monthly. The way the music had remolded had created a lot of sifting through the music to find tunes that deserved the dollars and cents. I was locked in collector mode though, so you’ll get each one reviewed. I’m going to play each one and crank up the volume and review each one with a positive mind frame. There are some pretty decent tunes, so we’ll let it roll…

     Austrian based Paul SG teams up with a couple of Swiss based artists for the first track on Side A. Florian Boo, is Flowrian, who has been making music for over ten years on labels such as Fokuz, Soul Deep, Celsius and Paul SG’s Jazzsticks. Pulsaar is Thomas Steiner. While his output isn’t as extensive as his counterparts here, he does put on a decent show when he plays. 

   Side A is ‘Corrupt Level’, extracting  succulent bass and melting pads out of the trunk of the liquid tree and stretching out the crucibles walls that sit within the branches of life.  There’s someone chatting about “drinking a glass of water before bedtime and troubles will be gone”, in here which sounds like an old fashioned answer phone message. The breakdown sits back nicely inbetween the frantic drum work and as tunes go, I actually like this. There’s a tendency for a lot of liquid tunes to lack character, especially moving through some of the tunes in this series. This one holds its head up though. 

    On Side AA, we have Mike Richards who I actually met over here as he swung by (a few times) to Plush when it was running, in downtown Austin. He’s a guy that couldn’t be more friendly and fun to hang out with. He’s also one shit hot musician, as well as producer and DJ. He is Random Movement. Here we have ‘Alone This Way (No Need To Stay)’ moving the thermometer levels to a sunny and fresh breeze temperature, to cast your eyes and ears out to the clarity and warmth of a shiny new day. The party that jives within this tune is a balance of manic and settled. Half your body wants to chill and the other half wants to shake up the bones inside. 

A big shout out to Mike, and hope you swing by Austin again, soon! Big up mate. 

 My blog seems to be building one or two views so why not be that third? You’re on it already so be that the magic number?
