#8: Fis - 'From Patterns To Details'
hear this album now So, there might be better albums than this that I already wrote about, but none of them are quite on this level of sonic ear candy. This album is phenomenally produced, revealing probably too much detail, creating a novelty. I stumbled upon this album whilst concocting this list and was pretty blown away by it. It works really well as a whole if you have the time to sit around and be carried away by a whole album of material these days. What makes me hesitate on whether or not this is actually as good as #8, is, well, self doubt, having not heard it enough or as much as most of the other albums... and difficulty picking out favorite tracks makes me wonder if it really is all that good; but here it is, sitting in the 8 spot. And it is an interesting release by a relatively unknown artist found on bandcamp. 'From Patterns To Details' is just as much of a sonic sculpture as it is an ambient drone piece. But it also throws a few beats at you and other familiarities that makes the album difficult to define. Its enigmatic nature is also a reason it is ranked so high, since it is on the cusp of a new style of music only a few are really dabbling in. One could just as much classify it as a new form of electronica as experimental ambient drone. A genre which I have been getting more and more into as I get older. But this release by Fis is stinking fresh and new, throwing huge glowing piles of sound at you when it winds up and becoming dark and soundtrack like at times as well. The element of surprise is what really makes this album, since everything comes at you unexpectedly and not being too predictable like most music is. So in conclusion, it is at the very least well worth checking out to see what is at the cutting edge of sound design and technology and production, even if it is just something interesting for the ears to hear and take your brain to weird places.
