Melodium has been knocking about for some time now so it's nice hear that he's decided to put together a self -released compilation of his favorite compositions from the last ten years. He's called it 'Ten Years' which is a little lacking in imagination but i'll forgive him as this is a strong collection of dreamy electronica that instantly soothing my achey achey bonce. So you get 24 tunes on this comp, all of which have been previously released on various formats by excellent labels such as Static Caravan, Unlabel, Active suspension and Duotone amongst others. Melodium specializes in electro-snippets/mini portions of electronica that have a lot in common with Plaid, The Remote Viewer, Boards Of Canada and the like. Very melodic use of sounds and samples with well laid back beat programming and wonky bonus sounds. This is a really ace sounding compilation so make sure you check out the sound clips to get a better idea of what i'm talking about. Yo!
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
