Home / Artists / Niko Skorpio / Short Cuts & Dead Ends (MP3)

Compilation album of rare and unreleased material from the period of 2000–2004. Central to this compilation are the EPs ChAmber Moosick (tracks 1-3, originally released 2001) and Stainway to Heaven (tracks 5-8, originally released 2002). The rest of the contents are previously unreleased; rough demos, remixes, tracks destined for compilations that never happened etc.

Musically, this is a fractal kaleidoscope "almost ritual in its expression", "of dark droning ambient and some sample oriented electro madness, recycling some funk and eastern psychedelic records and just about anything you could imagine, really making it a diverse and fresh listening experience", ranging from "low humming space sounds slowly forming weird melodies" to "happy melodies beating and crackling on top of a fast jazz-accompaniment" to "noise-y buzz of ambient and fragmented resonance". Niko Skorpio "has a sound of his own and a caring hand for details" and his "musical menu has contained more alternative auditory meals than many will even taste in their whole lives". This musick is manic, ecstatic and meditative, and sometimes simply undescribable. Forget coherence, embrace wild mood swings and expect bumps on the road!
