Xenofish « Datastasis »

Xenofish is the German producer Christian Becker. Datastasis is his fourth album.

1. Datastasis 6:01
2. Geiranum 6:55
3. Primeval Pattern 6:13
4. Zero Velocity 7:33
5. Disordered Minds 5:26
6. Twinmachine 5:38
7. Shattered Phantasm 5:49

Released on 17^th of July in 2014 through Ektoplazm under a Creative Commons license, Xenofish has created an album that takes a playful attempt at psychedelic drum & bass that digresses into any genre neighbouring with electronic psy music that Christian Becker felt likely intrigued to explore. The result is surprisingly concise and plays like charm. The worst I can say about this album is that in the end the album as a whole makes a better impression than each single track on its own. But then again, this weakness is also its force.

Originally I didn’t want to include this album, self-released on 3^rd of September in 2014 through Ektoplazm under a Creative Commons license, due to its weak beginning but upon listening the whole album decided to give you the pleasure.

What’s wrong with the beginning? Well, the music is promoted as being psychedelic drum ’n bass but even Sandro felt that the first track digressed too far that he invoked his alias Shen Nevan, used for post rock music, as an indicator for the difference. And after that it takes a while to get into the spirit of psychedelic and atmospheric drum and bass. It’s overall effect remind me of the 2003 sci-fi horror film with the same name adapted from Stephen King’s novel: I quite liked it but felt it will hardly convert anyone who doesn’t already like this kind of thing and even those will have a thing or two to complain. Still, you might want to give it a try…
