Artist:	AROVANE
Title:	Tides
Label:	CITY CENTRE OFFICES (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	CCO 001CD

Emitting "future classic" status within seconds of play, this sophomore album by Berlin's Uwe Zahn is filled to the brim with liquid harpsichord euphoria, bridging that gap between early 90s "classic ambient" and more contemporary static like little else known. "Shortly after the release of Arovane's debut album on Din, CCO releases his follow-up album Tides. Inspired by a holiday spent in France by the sea, Tides marks a new step in Arovane's career. Based on hip hop grooves and live played guitars, Tides does not concentrate on digital glitches, but on warm melancholic songs. As Bleed From the German DeBug magazine put it, 'Tides is the iMac of electronica LPs. Wonderful, translucent, somehow familiar, but simply so great that you have to say hello.'"

Title:	Icol Diston
Label:	DIN (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	DIN CD02

2002 release, available again. "Electronic music from Berlin has always been something special, something different. Like in very few other cities all over the world, Berlin-based musicians concentrate much more on their long-term visions and ideas instead of following short-lived trends or hypes dictated by the music industry. Arovane's vision is digital -- his music begins where the works of other current projects, usually filed under 'electronica' end -- he is two steps ahead. Arovane opens his drawer, inserts a Zip-disk into his sampler and enchants us with incredibly funky rhythmic structures, heavenly melodies and an impressive skill for programming and production so that some other people should seriously consider retiring from making electronic music. Arovane's second album Icol Diston, following 2000's successful debut Atol Scrap, is a compilation of his first three 12"'s -- entirely mastered from vinyl to preserve original sound quality."
