"idealism is a new lp compilation series presented by Ideal, compiled by Joachim Nordwall. showcasing artists with a clear and strong vision, some already working with the label, and some related ones and some future collaborators. The musical world is where we are used to find ideal - experimental analogue synth based stuff, usually surrounded by shadows and unease. On the first volume, we meet swedish king of filty tape music - Altar of flies who released his mind expanding self titled lp on ideal last year, back to vack with italian neo-industrialist rm. Rm is Riccardo Mazza of masters of roughness Lettera 22, here delivering some truly bad vibes. On the flip side, we find two strong tracks of analogue techno minimalism signed Peder Mannerfelt of swedish electronic wonder roll the dice. "idealism, volume one" ends with the second appearance on ideal by copenhagen's Frederikke Hoffmeier. known to most heads as puce mary she is no doubt a key character on the harsher bank of today's experimental music scene. so, in short. this is a trip worth taking, people.
