The Taiwanese music label known as Dark
Paradise Records has released their new flagship compilation album,
“F1 – Philosopher's Stone.” The album is a gigantic
collaboration which brings together the work of no fewer than 21
different artists to make one of the most remarkable electronica
records ever produced in Asia or anywhere else in the world.
It has been proudly published on the
Dark Paradise Records independent music label based in the capital
city of Taipei. Kaleidoscopic, futuristic and innovative, in turns
both soft and upbeat, shadowy and brightly colored, “F1 –
Philosopher's Stone” from Dark Paradise Records is likely to be
remembered as the premier electronica release of 2015.
With “F1 – Philosopher's Stone,”
Dark Paradise Records aimed higher than perhaps any purveyor of
electronica music has attempted to do in over a decade. Their new LP
compilation contains nearly 90 minutes of music, each track as
excellent as the last. Its production value couldn't be higher, with
performances uniformly shining and flawless, its studio engineering
more expertly dialed-in than many of the most popular mainstream
tracks available to listeners today. It serves as an arresting
introduction to over 20 marvelous artists and a shocking wake-up call
to music fans not yet aware of this powerhouse record company from
the Far East.
“F1 – Philosopher's Stone” from
Dark Paradise includes music from the following artists (in order of
appearance): Fish in the Sky, Conehead, Sonic Deadhorse, Dipper Chen,
Lupa, KbN, Pro. Found, Lazybody, Iron House, Neoteny, Partimer,
Yellow Morning, Jade Eyes, Inn, Jill Stark, ATW Girl, Orientone,
Fragrance Liang, and Meng-Ting Hsieh, and also features appearances
by Aristophanes and Zack Kao.
Asked to comment on their premier, new
release, Dark Paradise Records writes, “This is Taiwan's
electronic/indie electronica music compliation CD by Dark Paradise
Records. We hope to introduce different electronic musicians to the
audience … [and also to give] people an insight into the depth and
breadth of Taiwan's electronic music.”
Their new “F1 – Philosopher's
Stone” compilation has an innumerable array of qualities. These
include sparkling facets of controllerism, glitch-step, fusions of
traditional Oriental and Western electronic styles, electronic rock,
downtempo, ethereal vocals, psychedelia, synth-pop, fragmented time
signatures, ambient composition, experimental hip hop, environmental
recording and sampling, bass-driven sound design, tribal
atmospherics, electro/acoustic composition, modern alternative
techno, and much, much more.
That this album has something for every
fan of electronica and digital music is obvious. That Dark Paradise
have made so much goodness available in a single record is
astounding. That true audiophiles owe it to themselves to hear this
staggering achievement of a album is absolutely clear.
“F1 – Philosopher's Stone” by
Dark Paradise Records is available online worldwide beginning 21 July
2015. Get in early, music fans. Very early.
