EX ANIMA

Electronic Krautrock in line with Cluster, Harmonia, Neu!, Popul Vuh from Jay?Whitefield (Poets of Rhythm/Whitefield Brothers/Karl Hector & The Malcouns).?DOWNLOAD CARD FOR .WAV FILES INCLUDED.?Now-Again Records has enjoyed a long and creative partnership with Munich-based?multi-instrumentalist JJ Whitefield, creative force behind the Poets of Rhythm, Whitefield?Brothers and Karl Hector & The Malcouns. Rodinia, his latest project, is quite different?than anything that's come from his oeuvre to date, but follows in the line of the Poets of?Rhythm's great Discern/Define, as it reaches back to Krautrock's experimental heyday?but pushes its boundaries with a post-hip-hop approach.?Rodinia's first album, Drumside/Dreamside, featured two, side-long suites, with?synthesizers taking the fore on an overarching ambient approach (featuring over-dubbed?reeds, drums and guitar, and self-made Moroccan field recordings introducing the project?on its Drumside.)?For Ex Anima, Rodinia has incorporated more of the mid-70s approach of Krautrock?forebears Neu!, Cluster and Harmonia, with shorter, self-contained songs. The result is?winsome and exploratory, respectfully distanced from the past's trappings while?celebrating a musical spirit still very much alive and influential.?With original artwork by Jason Jagel (DOOM's Mm Food, Operation DOOMsday).??A1.
