 ISAN Lucky Cat (Morr Music, 2001)  ISAN Salamander (Morr Music, 1999)  ISAN Beautronics (Tugboat, 1998) |
Imagine a universe, Where organic life is a rarity, Where altered gravity reduces all movement to slow-motion, Where most human activity is absent, Where evolution stopped when analog synths saw the light of day, Where electronic machinery started making their own music. The ISAN duo creates sentimental melodies in fragile harmony with glitchy percussion and quirky rhythms. Now, unless you're in the right mood on a dark night, it'll be difficult to appreciate this kind of music. Prepare for an otherworldly soundtrack to a trip in outer space, telling a love-story between two robots. Featuring an imaginary Jean-Michel Jarre on LSD, composing ambient music for 1950s science-fiction movies. It took me quite a long time to get into their "sound", which I found to be simplistic and boring at first, yet at one time all the pieces fell in the right place and I got hooked. So in the end I was happy to have found out about ISAN. They might not make music that'll revolutionalise the music scene, far from it, but they do make something "different". That's still more than we had hoped for ... During the last years ISAN has released many tracks, singles, ep's and albums. With the 2001 album Lucky Cat (which is relatively easy to find, compared to the earlier releases), on the ever growing Morr Music, label they finally seem to get the attention they deserve. These are my "Goose-Bump" tracks from the albums
they've produced up 'till now: SayVegin |
