Stockfinster (German for "pitch black") is the one man band of Malmö-based Sebastian Borg. In the liner notes to "Dead Line", Borg (who commonly appears as "batti") excuses himself for being unproductive and slow. However, for a 76 minutes opus magnus, perfectly arranged and composed like this, many musicians need a whole lifetime for. If any.

The music of Stockfinster is a mixture of Postrock and progressive Pop, essentially enhanced by many electronic elements. There is an element of nostalgia to Borg's music that stems from his melancholic melodies and the late 90's breakbeat patterns. Several time I had to think of early Lamb or other forward-thinking "Trip Hop" acts. From the world of Netaudio, Orange Crush, Endless or Nic Bommaritio might suit for comparison.

Albeit not actually at the edge of contemporary music, Stockfinster has something more valuable to offer: timelessness. Strong, atmospheric melodies, impellent beats, and a supreme production. Should be OK for the next four years, no?

Tracks from Selektida were created during the period of 2003-2009. These tracks are sonic captures of moods, colours and sounds, changes, moments of sadness and joy in the life of the artist. IJO want his album to be a reflection of himself.

A very special part of this release is its third disc with the title "Sealody Songs". Sounding like a soundtrack you listen to piano songs like "Face". The whole album contains 35 tracks/songs and takes you on a journey lasting two hours and five minutes. Like a good movie.

And as always Sutemos supplies some extraordinary and poetic photos along with the release. Please enjoy!

Poetic IJO Videos

To make this wonderful release complete "Selektida" comes along with three videos. Especially the piano song called "Face" with its video left an impression on me. The moody piano chords match excellent together with the captured happy moments with friends.

While watching this video I thought: "Where is this place?!? I want to go there, too!" Also in this video music and images fit perfectly together and give us small glimpse into a happening where people met, shared creative moments together and had an exceptional time. Respect to the musician and video producer.

It was inspired by a person whose name I gave to this spound book. It is some kind of tale, story made out of small chapters.

Beautiful handdrawn animated music video | This poetic video clip comes along with the netlabel compilation "Intelligent Toys 5" by Sutemos. It took three months to draw everything by hand for no_joy, the artist behind this beautiful piece of art.  The style of the video reminds me of old animated movies I saw in my youth coming from eastern europe. Fascinating about the clip is its richness of details. You can discover lots of hand-drawn characters flying, crawling and wandering through a vector-based world.

Wow! This is one of the best electronic compilations i listened to for a long time. Sutemos compiled no more than 28 high quality tracks which slide smoothly from one into the other while listening. "Intelligent Toys 4" awaits you with atmospheric electronic music filled with sweet melodies and sweeping synthesizers.

Slowly taking off with an ambient and atmospheric track called "Dried Flowers, Mirrored World" produced by Sabi, our steward Walkman serves us continuously one embrassing tune after the other. Walkmans phenomenal choice of music convince us and we let loose while floating with the flow of his compilation. Take "Terra Det" from IJO for example. This track takes you on a flight on spheric synthesizer strings. Slightly shreddered and clickering beats combined with caring melodies build a wonderful scenery full of fluffy clouds.

Along with the incredible quality of each track, I am truely surprised how the whole music sampler fits together. This is futuristic and yet optimistic music at its best. A great journey into sounds from ambient to ambient to clicks and cuts. Don't miss this one!
