Oh man I feel like I'm going to burst after just quoffing a pastie, a bag of chips and 2 potato fritters. I best knock out this Geskia review before there's intestines and chip fat all over the office. So this comes to us all the way from Japanese label Flau which seems to be reasonably popular with you guys at the moment. 'Silent 77' is a really well executed, especially considering it's a debut. The beats although are fairly complex have a hip hop groove that reminds me of Funkstorung an Plaid at times. Geskia really injects his soul into the warm electronic sounds with soothing melodies. Occasional there is a little vocal snippet that adds a human element to the mix. I'd say if you like lush sounding electronic a or are a follower of this label then this will be your bag.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

The stunning debut album by Geskia "Silent77",  is unquestionably a masterpiece of Japanese underground hip hop and breakbeats.
 "Silent77" is hugely inspired by a picturesque setting sun that has been imprinted into Geskia's musical mind. The awe-inspiring magnitude of evening sun ray that covered a quiet town where the curtain of night was slowly falling down, is remarkably reproduced in his dazzling energized beats and noisy beautiful pad. Geskia, through his distinctive music style, beautifully reinterpreted, with strong heartfelt emotion, the silent speed and soundless energy that relayed by the overwhelming yellowish sunbeams and the contrasted loneliness of the little town. Many of these sophisticated inner feelings of human and complex musical interpretations are expressed precisely by mesmerizing programming skill possessed by Geskia. As you will soon discover, "Silent 77" is a brilliant testimonial by Geskia, who is a '77er, that "silent" can be wildest loudness that evoke our feelings!
