Lackluster - showcase cd review from www.igloomag.com Lackluster, Showcase.
A culmination of previously released Lackluster tracks
from labels like DeFocus, Merck, Rikos, Monotonik, and Surgery, and a few
you\'ve never heard until now. 19 tracks spanning through 78 minutes, and a
stunning abundance of enriching electronic music for your ears. This is the
sound of Lackluster.. a precious mix of melodic upbeat tracks that are
packed with pure entertainment all the way through. These are the tracks
many of you may have highlighted in past releases, tracks that truly inspire
thoughts of beauty, reflection and inner tranquility. With this formation of
musical delights, Lackluster creates a birds-eye view of the feelings he\'s
cultivated over the years and expressed with his music. Even with the
pensive ambient flows that maneuver their way into some of the tracks
featured on this disc, they are contrasted by the uplifting percussive
melodies & rhythms of others.
Lackluster, Showcase represents an accurate assessment of the fragile state
of electronic music today. With the perpetual onslaught of genre\'s trying to
fill a void in the collections of international trainspotters, Merck records
manages to release the best of Esa Ruoho\'s musical discography without
falling into one particular style/groove/genre. Lackluster\'s Showcase
describes the assemblage of beauty manifested through one brain with the use
of melodic tweaks, and layers of creative electricity. If you haven\'t been
able to locate every release Esa Ruoho\'s put out over the past few years,
than this compilation and/or best of.. will definitely bring you up to date
to the classical sounds of this (sometimes) frustrated Finnish producer.
Without mentioning any highlights or comparisons, we\'ll leave you to decide
the fate of the tracks described on Merck Records\' latest release. Place
yourself at ease to absorb every emotive slice of electronics featured on
this disc. Highly recommended.
