The Phonograph

by Minus

supported by

Seffi Starshine Hauntingly beautiful. I had to listen to it again immediately after it was over and then again for a third time. It is impossible for me to decide on a favorite track, they are all perfect. One of the best albums I've heard all year. I give it 10 out of 10 candy hearts but it deserves 100 more <3 Favorite track: Relapse.

about

This album has finally been completed since its original beginnings in 2008.
I wanted to make a dark sounding album, minimal yet with a certain depth about it.
I was heavily influenced by horror scores and trip hop at the time of its conception.

"With both arrhythmic and rhythmic, this Sydney-outfit called Minus delivers a shockingly broad landscape of decaying sound and bubbling noises. The album might not be fully completed, as he states himself, but it surely brings a whole other level to the music at hand. Some instrumentalist vibes here, some quirky electronics there, and a totally darkened quest for musicality as an embodiment of his own philosophy and experience. Featuring ten tracks of well-produced goodness which takes you from nowhere to everywhere, with seconds in between the arrangements. Also influenced by horror scores and trip-hop, so you’ll have to grasp the whole idea and its widespread claws that grabs a hold of you and gives you the varied potency of a lethal mixture. It’s also totally D.I.Y." - invisibleguy.wordpress.com

"Dark sounds from alien dimensions introduce short bursts of minimal groove, which dissolves almost immediately in ambient. The sense of mystery is enhanced by the total absence of human voices: the world of The Phonograph is a sealed crypt inhabited by presences mute.
If you like the trip-hop and horror films, seriously consider buying this disc, with a long gestation period (the beginning of the work dates back to 2008) that emerges from the care lavished on every aspect of production.
Get your headphones, throw down a few drinks and / or pull from one spliff (if you're accustomed to) here is a good way to enjoy the trails prepared by Minus for this beginning in electronics quality." - cuttersblob.blogspot.it

I love dark and deep beats. Not much more to it than that.

Drugs, dreams and drum machines.
A soundtrack for the shadows.
Beauty in the void.

For optimal aural enjoyment, music is best played in the dark.

by ＶＨＳＣｒｅｅｐ

Hey. You know it's true. Internet did kill the Video Star. Nearly serial killer the video star multiple times. A grungey industrial sound. One might compare to INXS or Depeche Mode. Beautiful vocalization. Sincerely fun. You might laugh or you might just dance and freak out. You might feel the urge to run up to somebody and kick them in the head to articulate the degree to which these songs hit. Michael
