Fall of the Fifth Sun

by Jason Sloan

supported by

Timo Pyle This album has what I consider some of Jason's signature sounds in a medium-length form. It's got great beats, but don't try to dance to it. Favorite track: Ash and Snow.

about

"The layers are deep and rich, the energy is consistent and infectious. This is a superb release." - hypnagogue.net

The majority of material on FOTFS was conceived during the multiple live concerts I gave throughout 2011 and early 2012. These song sketches were reworked and then recorded in the studio over the past year.

While still sonically similar to my last few albums, FOTFS & the Sine E.P. were created with only hardware. Going into these sessions, I wanted to create works that had an edge and felt fresh, but also an essence of nostalgia for the classic electronic music of the 70′s and 80′s, so hardware was the only way to go.

Equipment used to create this album: Roland SH-101, Korg Poly-800, DSI Mopho, Juno-60, Yamaha DX7, Korg Monotribes, Roland TR-606, Boss DR-55, Crumar Multiman, Alesis Wedge, Boss CE-3, Steinberger GL and Fender Stratocaster guitars.

Laniakea

La sortie de Laniakea mérite d'être mise en perspective. Nebulous et The Deep Invisible, les deux albums les plus expérimentaux et anxiogènes d'Atomine Elektrine, n'ont qu'un an d'écart ; et après ce dernier, alors que nous étouffons dans la matière noire, c'est silence radio pendant sept ans. Laniakea, avec son electronica ambiante rétrofuturiste, est une bouteille d'oxygène salutaire : l'espace est insondable mais offre de magnifiques couleurs et reflets. Dans l'espace, inutile de crier... Jordan Vauvert

Both the artwork and music are lovely. Lonely but comforting. Close your eyes and drift away. The second half will, however, make you feel a sense of the inevitable. My one complaint is that the track Hyperbox feels totally out of place. The album also has some issues with its flow. Other than that, a very enjoyable light ambient release. Tuukka Junnikkala
