Various Artists - A Private Shade of Green CD-R [GR047] $17.60 (€13.75)
(IN STOCK)
Label: Gruenrekorder Notify Me (What is this?)

On a similar course is the compilation by Gruenrekorder which they released with Privatelektro (well, or vice versa of course). Here too we find relative short pieces, but the usual Gruenrekorder posse, but the total is much more balanced. I am not sure if which way it had to be a split release, but perhaps Privatelektro brought in some of the names I never heard of, and perhaps (guessing again) they count for some of the more electronic pieces on this compilation. We find some very nice, pure field recording pieces, such as by Yannick Dauby and Adriano Zanni, and some minimalist drone related works by people by Reverend Benn Schipper. This mixture of interests could be a total miss, but here on ‘A Private Shade Of Green’ it works quite well. Also included are Igor Hax, Daniel Knef, Costa Grün, Nicolas Weisser, Triphaze, Roland Etzin, c:\, Lasse-Marc Riek and others. Quite a nice compilation. (FdW) - VITAL WEEKLY

Found Sound/Location Sound and Mild Electronics form a very peace inducing disc. I wouldn't say "Peaceful" disc as there are some more startling moments on here, but it does still help me chill out. Birds chirping are an example of this - found on track 4. There are birds, but in the background you can hear car doors and humanity. Track 6 sounds similar to the radio frequency sounds of the Aurora Borealis I have heard, but a little more harsh. This song is definitely not peaceful, it is the exception to the disc, but I still like where it takes me. Track 9 could be bacon frying at a campfire in the woods. Who knows what made these sounds! The track Summer Life on the Shorelines has kids playing in the surf being happy and excited, the waves coming in and out. Very happy scene, here, I wish I was there! This disc comes in a unique, directly printed upon, plastic case.
