"LP of kosmische synth-explorations from the Causa Sui drummer. Doppler is the as-of-yet most conceptual album in El Paraiso Records' "Impetus" series, which is the label's imprint of improvisation and chance collaborations. On Doppler, Jakob Skott utilizes two synthesizers and a chain of effects. That's it. This may sound like a tedious exercise, but for an album mostly spliced together by layers and layers of first takes and unexpected real-time peaks and turns, there is a unique sense of both...

"Causa Sui drummer Jakob Sk�tt is back with the third installment in his "drums versus synthesizers" explorations. Fully indulging in this strange form of layered solo jams, these tracks are alive in a very real sense -- there's an organic vibe present in which monophonic synthesizers and polyphonic rhythms merge in a way you've never heard before. Any reference to other music and genres gets warped and turned on its head, quicker than you can catch onto it, as everything is weaved together in a...

“Causa Sui drummer and El Paraiso visual designer Jakob Skøtt unleashes his most personal vision to date, Instrumentality. His one-man-band formula of synths, drums, and effects serves him as well as ever. This latest set is Skøtt at his most ripe; the grooves are deeper, more stripped down to essentials, yet maintain the vibrant seamless mix of airy timing, drowning drones, and sludgy synth riffs. The album was recorded a few months after Jakob experienced a brief, yet painful spontaneous leak of brain...

"The third album from Causa Sui drummer Jakob Sk�tt expands his one-man-band experiments into vast new territories. Taurus Rising is built from motorik synthesizer arpeggios and heavy-duty live drumming. But rather than simply worshipping endless...

"Nicklas Sørensen's second solo effort away from his main stint as guitar player in Papir is a more placid, blissful listen than his first solo venture from 2016.
On this set Nicklas digs deep into his love for vintage new age music, Brazilian bossa nova, and the electronic side of kosmische, while still paying homage to the guitar heroes that have shaped his playing throughout the years, such as Vini Reilly, Manuel Göttsching, and Michael Rother.
Produced in collaboration with Causa Sui and...

"Solo is the first solo album from Papir guitarist Nicklas S�rensen. While there are certain similarities with the oeuvre S�rensen has created with Papir, it quickly becomes apparent that this is something quite different. Throughout Solo, the Copenhagen native explores his primary instrument, the guitar, as a generator of otherworldly sounds, as a compositional tool, and -- perhaps most importantly -- as a transmitter of pristine, cascading melodies. There's a peaceful, savory quality to the album that...

“On their third album, the Danish duo Videodrones explore their kosmische take on synth wave further. Videodrones' first two albums tapped into short arabesque-like pieces, playing out like cues in a film.
Atavistic Future sees them broadening out, with the two main tracks on the album clocking in at eight and almost 12 minutes respectively. And it's not only in the track lengths that Videodrones are reaching beyond: There is a wider range of influences and nods -- from the Phillip Glass...
