Ever heard any ‘Experimental Electronica’? Well, in case you haven’t, it mostly sounds like noise. People takes clicks, bleeps and pops, put them in an audio track and think that makes some kind of music. I can’t possibly see anyone listening to that kind of crap.

So it was really on a whim that I decided to take a listen to Extropy’s Radiomorphology, which they called ‘Experimental’. And then I got a surprise. Not only was it musical, it was good! Only… it wasn’t experimental in the sense of bleeps, bloops and general noise. Rather it was pushing the bounds of electronic music by incorporating bleeps and bloops with a deep-groove drum line and acoustic guitars. Now THAT’S my kind of experimentation.

I have one complaint though… too short. Just when you really start feeling it, that track winds down. Fortunately, you can’t hit rewind and here it again, but I could’ve done with another couple of minutes.

But either way, I was happy enough with the track to post it, not only because it was good, but also to hopefully show all of those so-called experimenters what experimentation is all about. Hopefully we’ll see more of this kind of boundary-pushing in the future. If so, then I’ll definitely be more interested in what is going on in this currently-obscure genre.
