I love those playful sounds that jumps in and out of these tracks. Relaxing beats with a wonderful melody floating above. Again we get great variation so we never get a boring moment. Relaxing, very electronic sounding melodies and a totally mystic, psychedelic vibe all the way through. Track 3 goes back to a floating soundscape again.

Now they are out with the second release on this label, which is a double album by an artist from the US (Oregon) called Bluetech (Evan Bluetech).

Real, layered melody makes an appearance in "White Magnesia," and a few of the album's later tracks are able to more successfully mix whiz-bang software with song structure, so that Prima Materia doesn't become an aimless collection of IDM and ambient dub party tricks. Fortunately, Materia climbs out of its rut with a remix of Sounds from the Ground's "Triangle" as well as a whirring dub mix of "Prayers for Rain," which appeared in its original form on Bluetech's introductory EP for Truffle. It's all very tasteful, but it's initially somewhat opaque, as the opening tracks tend to blend together with no real definition. This isn't an album of bass rather, trebly rhythms ping and pong off one another as melodies form out of the ether.

Prima Materia is the full-length debut of Bluetech (aka Evan Bartholomew), who has made a name for himself with performances at the annual Burning Man festival and San Diego's Project Cathedral.
