The latest (as far as I know) release of the famous Microbit Project was one of the last ones that has hit the always amazing Microbit Records. The record label that is a home to many lobit releases of many kind has decided to take a break, but promised to still release compilations and maybe some other goodies if we are lucky. Anyway the back catalogue of this succesful label is large, so there is plenty of music to discover if you like what you hear. The person behind Microbit Project is one of these characters that is almost like a super power, he is a poet, organizes a festival, has many music projects, runs a diversity of labels but most of all: is a very fond character that whatever he does, always delivers great quality. (even in a low bitrate!)
Today i wanted to show some light of the ‘INTELLIGENT POP’ release. Because it deserves to have some love and praises as it is rather good! It all begins with ‘lobunta (album mix) that starts of very sweet with lovely melodies that are bring back meaning to the word ‘love’. Soon a very fine and almost silly sounding electronic base is introduced and together with a fun tactic beat it all grows and glows musically. This is love-bit music, especially when there is a feel good vibe of synth playing a loving solo on top. This is super sweet, tasty and indeed very pop. But not the ones our brain get screwed up daily on the commercial television and radio, but indeed INTELLIGENT pop.
Electronic Music with a heart and a soul that is irresistible sweet and delivers the greatness of a pure and fine ‘Happy moment!’. Absolutely loving it!
As the former track does it best to make the lucky ears who managed to hear this release be happy and smiley, the next track will bring you even more love generated by a musical soul that is Evgenij V. Kharitonov. (the artist behind Microbit Project). ‘Return to the moon’ is a musical piece of downtempo electronica that is simply superb compared to what my ears are normally used too.
Lovely melodies, great relaxing vibes, great sounds, everything just seems to be perfect!
Even the cowbell is surrounded by warmth and love, this is the music i would play to my children (if i had any) just to make sure they get to know REAL music before stepping out in the crap outside.
Absolutely wonderful and certainly recommended for anyone who likes to listen to music that has a human soul in side. I can even go so far that as a listener, i’m closing my eyes and completely sink away while listening to this. It is perfect!
Then after all odds a track called ‘acidrama (acid mix) takes over. This reminds me of a track i have heard before of Microbit Project, but it can be perhaps the distinctive sound that is used. The rolling intelligent beat makes you move in a weird way, and it perhaps opens up another portal of triply funkiness. Sweet melodies, Funky acid presented in a very sweet and original laid back fashion.
It swings and contains the perfect mood for a healthy and fun acid induced trip. Lovely!
All the good things may come to an end, but Microbit Project gives us a nice gift before we will leave this release alone for anyone else to grab who is into good music. The last track is the single mix of ‘lobunta’. The first track that we hears on this release and that captured my heart straightaway. I prefer the album mix as it is a bit longer, but hell i can’t complain as this track certainly will delivers your ears a last doses of good vibes before going back into the real world of commercialism (and the crap pop that comes with it).
So my conclusion, if anyone cares about that, is that this release is an example of how real music should sound like. Everybody pay attention and get over to this lovely feel good release as you might as well fall in love with the wonderful sounds of Microbit Project! Well recommended material and available in your ears in just a matter of seconds!
go and get it over here (you won’t be disappointed):
