about

Description
Produced by August Engkilde,
"...Kaotic Brain continues where "Police Beat Box" on Cheap ended!
A stunningly good record! It´s densly layered and even after repeated listening one discovers new aspects. A framework of well crafted grooves, hard-swinging bass-lines, combined with noise and apparent chaos in change with dark sound collages, melancholic chords - in between snatches of friendly melodies, a brass orchestra and weird sounding instruments.... everything is perfectly arranged, produced and mixed with sure instinct/ viel fingerspitzengefühl. This album could be the best work we have heard from August Engkilde so far........ We will stay curious for the forthcoming releases. Welcome to the "Club of good music".
Written by Manuela Krause - De-Bug.

"...Next-Level-Teo-Macero..."
"...In comparison Engkildes tracks find their foundations in mighty rhythms
though. From the reggaeskank of "Chinese Factory Outlet: Orange" to the
blubbery minimalbeats of "Dragon After Horse": All the pieces are suitable
for dancing as a matter of fact...."
"...And sounds - compared to so many others - never just like
an update of the usual sounds but completely peculiar...."
Groove Magazin, Berlin, july 08.

Hjernemylder: håndspillet elektronisk tankespind
August Engkilde hører, med sin medvirken på over 30 udgivelser indenfor blandt andet jazz, hiphop, electronica, dub og electro, til blandt de mest erfarne aktører på den repetitive og elektronisk forankrede scene herhjemme. På det aktuelle udspil Kaotic Brain/Beautiful Noise folder Engkilde sig elegant ud i et myldrende lydunivers, der både er funky og abrupt, abstrakt og konkret, håndspillet og programmeret, tyst og larmende. Det er netop alle disse selvmodsigelser, der får pladen til at fungere – uden at det bliver påtaget skævt eller konstrueret vel at mærke. Alle Engkildes modsætninger mødes på forførende vis på Kaotic Brain/Beautiful Noise, der blandt andet byder på den Analogik-agtige dub-sag Chinese Factory Outlet – Orange: Her akkompagneres funky reggae-horn af naivistisk træ-xylofon! På Maybe He Just Behaves Dead? er vi i en mere funky frekvens, men uden at der nogensinde går kønsløs stiløvelse i den. Dertil er der for meget krummelurisk støj i det varierede og fantasifulde lydbillede.
