WebSite | Info Inspired by the phenomenon of life and its evolution, this composer has created a series of electronic pieces that, surfing along Space Sequencer Music, Techno, Trance and Ambient, are based on textures of sound which are warm, liquid, "alive", rather than metallic, hard and icy as it tends to be usual in several Space albums.
Thus, instead of narrating cybernetic adventures, Hug thrusts us into a history of evolution where the limitations of life are overcome, and biological matter initiates a cosmic epic, just like the cover paintings, created by Steve and Eva Hug suggest. -
Edgar Kogler Steve (Stefan) Hug is a Swiss synthesist and on Organics you will find a unique type of modern Electronic Music that can be more or less placed within the New Berlin School definition. I've heard from other reviewers that it was a mixture of Berlin School and Techno but the latter is far from being prominent on the album. In fact, of the 10 tracks, only two - Part Four of the "Symbiotic Cycle" and "Preserve the Rainforest" have a slight Techno vibe to them, the rest is just pure modern EM, sometimes with a steady (but soft) beat and very enjoyable. The music is done with (mostly) analogue gear from Technosaurus, Korg and Oberheim, therefore, you will find plenty of experimental textures here. In spite of being rhythmic and mostly sequence-full, the music is quite sparsely populated with sounds (with a few exceptions) giving you the opportunity to take in every nuance, every turn of the oscillator or filter knob. Steve apparently synthesizes almost every sound on the album himself, often doing so in real time, making Organics a truly unique and rewarding experience. Of the bonus tracks I should note "Timespace Victory" which is a strange track that could easily come from a Laserdance album. For instance, it could sit perfectly on Strikes Back. Needless to say, it is far better than any "Techno" number found on that work of the Dutch group. The album was issued by Manikin Records, so, kudos to Mario for making this music available and of course to Steve for creating an exciting and fresh album of Electronic Music. Recommended! -
