Another music gold rush: Solvent

I like the best of anything, even electro-pop ;)

I always say 98% of anything is crap; it’s the top 2% that keeps me going. Art, movies, music, etc. I guess I have high standards? Or everyone else in the world has lower standards. (Occam’s Razor: it must be everyone else.)

Anyway, I’ve come across a Canadian artist named Solvent at Beatport; he does melodic, bittersweet vocodered electro. That may sound clich?, but Solvent does it so very well that I can’t resist. I’ve got like 6 Solvent tracks in my basket (along with like 20 other tracks) so that when I’m, er, solvent again I will purchase them, stat. Or maybe I’ll charge them to my credit card and pay later, which is usually how these things work out.

Recommendations:

• My Radio (Extended mix and Schneider TM Mustang interpretation), a touching lifestory of Solvent’s love of music, from his first guitar, etc.
• Wish, more bittersweet vocodered musings for rainy days.
• Devices and Strategies, a classical-inspired staccato melody.
• Radio Goo Goo, a patient, slightly sinister darker track with middle eastern influences.
