Monoder - Hunger Forest



Monoder - Hunger Forest
Pakkas-levyt
'Hunger Forest' is probably one of the best albums of this summer.

Finnish deepness and dub has a very high level, and Monoder gives all the definitions and ways in his new LP 'Hunger Forest'. Operating under Frozen North Records, Pakkas-levyt is a sub label which also belongs to Monoder aka we know him better, Jussi-Pekka Parikka. His style has been inscribed on various good labels and his production style has a unique amount of fans from all around the world.

Monoder guise is for the less dance floor friendly, more home listening side of the things. Some experimentalism dwelled upon soft harmonies and dubby atmospheres. I may say Monoder is one of the best producers form the North. Just like Uusitalo or Ander Ilar, he is doing a godly electronic music productions. His Monoder debut has 15 tracks in total which apper both in digital and on CD. But CD version will contain only 10. So it means you will need to get the remanining five.

'95 Strings', has a loungy and rather easy structure and is one of the best tracks in the album. 'Valkyrians' refers to some Planet Mu action and a little bit of acid. 'Nevertheless' shows how nice can a straight forward 4/4 may be. 'Absinth Smile' is the Finnish answer to Wagon Repair crew's experimentations. 'Pacifist Suicide Bomber' is the real Monoder track. So are 'Rise and Shine' and 'Angry Mother'. Such a beautiful atmosphere with a lot to say and hear within. As I said before, one of the best albums of this summer, already in my list.
