http://www.tonmagnet.de wrote about telafonica/lipstick – one & one [elyt02]:

Diese EP bietet die passende Hintergrundbeschallung für die späteren Stunden. Wenn das Blut voller löslicher Stoffe ist und die Crowd gemeinsam den Beat gefunden hat, dann ist der richtige Auftritt der in gleichen Teilen minimalistisch wie poppigen Tracks. Gerade “One And One” sollte in derartiger Situation einen tiefen Eindruck hinterlassen. Man fühlt sich an die Popscheiben der frühen 90er erinnert.

in the shadow of love, filtered voice-like sounds are floating through nocturnal spheres. a broken beat transports obscure yet sweet synth lines. a mellow opener with an euphoric glimmer. schatten der liebe.

a tight electro beat introduces us to harsh synth sounds and piercing melody snippets. sometimes dark, always tense. euphoria is never out of sight. america.

modulated chords and multi-surfaced layers give space to urban sounds. driven by fast paced beats, an army of sax players at midnight is trying to reach its audience. telephones are ringing and no one picks up. error line.

funky bass lines, kicking drums and whipping claps play with us and pull us right on the dance floor. house music par excellence. urban chaos has just begun.

pushed by a morphed growling bass and stoic drums. a playful melody slowly falls into place, gets twisted and twirled and rises sky high. endorphin.

the amazing seeglass from kent, england made a wonderful version of karbidangeln mit aurica‘s song no matter :

“i awoke one morning by the envelope dropping
through my letterbox, the contents a CD. the track
on the CD was ‘No Matter’. A piece of music that
after listening 3 times I had a feeling for making
a few additions and instruments. Of course I asked
Aurica first, and she gave me the go-ahead. ‘yes,
do as you please. i’am interested to what you will
do with it.’ And so, i did play, EQ and record some
sounds. I returned ‘No Matter’ to karbidangeln mit
aurica and she accepted and enjoyed what i did.
and that, was the finest compliment.”

The opener Picknick starts off with a distorted guitar, driven by a static powerful beat. Cymbals, chimes and percussion build a perfect carpet for Aurica’s voice.

No matter. A monotonous bassline, a minimalistic 4/4 beat and a lonely guitar theme are topped with haunting vocals. Addictive.

Driver. A man in trouble with both the mob and the police. A real sticky situation.
A 6 year old boy is telling us a story, while machine beats, industrial grooves and shimmering layers are pulsating underneath.

She and He. Droning pads and hypnotizing vocals pull us deeper into Karbidangeln Mit Aurica’s bitter sweet universe.

Raindrops. A pluckering beat, mellow pads and a playful melody. Raindrops fall on my head. Beautiful and meditative.

For Nothing. Gloomy and cloudy synth layers, a sublime beat and rhythmical synth lines. A pensive tune with a sad note. Not all glitter is golden.

Sunny Day. Synth layers slowly build up until a marching beat kicks in like a small explosion. Voices and a grooving bass line emerge, and take us along.

After just over 2 years, the Electrolyt Netlabel returns with its sixth release Glacial Series by Karbidangeln Mit Aurica.
Berlin resident Aurica Kurtuschin presents seven rare tracks of previously unreleased material produced over the past decade.
Electronica lovers certainly will remember Karbidangeln Mit Aurica from her tracks In This World and Hypotenuse, released on the Berlin elektro label Das Drehmoment.
Aurica’s music is fueled by love, disarming honesty, a fine sense of humor and a great deal of wisdom not buying into the madness of the mainstream hype.
Glacial Series features the finest living room electronica with elements of synth pop, drone and industrial, as well as ambient, post-punk and experimental. The songs are held together by Aurica Kurtuschin’s distinctive and hypnotic voice, haunting melodies and steady pulsating beats. Electrolyt is ecstatic about Glacial Series, as we believe you definitely will be to.
And as Aurica would say, “Make your own universe..but make it a good one!”

song descriptions:

Cracks – Living Room
It’s a lazy afternoon and you find yourself eating a marmalade toast at the train station, waiting to pick up a good old friend. What has changed over time? Will things still be the same?
Teimer – SAndD
A protective suit is covering your body, although you feel it is unnecessary. You are ready to begin. It’s another day’s work. The beehives look brilliant from a distance the way the sun gently glows upon them. You open the top and look inside. A tiny larva starts to pulsate and beat. He’s one of many. Your eyes scatter around lost in a sea of moving larvae. You have become part of their ritual dance.
My Sweet Bomb – Let’s go chopping!
With 10 pieces of bright neon pink bubblegum in your mouth you start to blow an amazing, gigantic bubble. It fills the entire street where you live. Children and adults alike run out into the street and stop to stare. We start to climb on top of it. We jump up & down like on a neon pink trampoline and float up to the deep blue evening sky. You capture a couple midnight stars and I’ll sit on the moon.
Telefonica – Hearing but never understanding
You’re sitting behind the wheel of a futuristic car which seems to be moving extremely fast, but you are not the driver. Has this already happened before? You have no sense of direction or reality at all anymore. Lost and captive, there’s no way back.
Lumenlab – Baila y rie no deprime
Slinky legged machine beings (known as Slink-o-bots) have taken over the world. They have absorbed all air on the planet earth through their rubber-like skin. The collapse of human civilization has forced us into a new existence. To be able to breath, you must cut the skin of the Slink-o-bot and crawl into it’s living body with all the other trapped people inside. We live captured inside their appendages and framework like we normally would work in skyscrapers, we will never have to go outside again.
Wolkenmaschinen Ensemble – Wellen der Liebe
Shiny glossy lips on a wide screen TV tell you about your new environment. You now live in a glass box a division of the government’s isolation and confinement experimentation program. You are here to be protected!
Love of life – Hard attack
Party people, party places. Here you are again feeling rather high. Your eyes dart around the club in a claustrophobic spasm. You are overwhelmed by laughter and flashing lights, glowing plastic-like bodies and the light scent of perfume and sweat filling the smoky air. How hot is it?
Sunstroke Militia – Cold ice first
The candy isle in this grocery store never looked so good. It’s like I’ve never been here before. These packages look amazing with their ecstatic shapes and colors, using words like sweet and irresistible. I am seduced into trying one kind after the other. Many others join me. We are a sweet-toothed army, taking over and gorging ourselves in a consumption of bliss. Overstuffed and happy, we all lay together not able to move and smile. Heaven is sweet, jail isn’t!
Schrumpfschlauch – Strap-ons of mass distraction
Ready for take off? Oh yes it’s time. The lights flash making patterns. So how high do you wanna fly? It’s only straight up from here on out. Above the feathered clouds, we ride in our jet plane. We dive like a bomb almost touching the body of water below, to shoot back up like an exploding volcano. My head is light and starts to fill with hallucinations, like singing natives celebrating their glorious human sacrifice.
Lipstick – Struck by lightning
Shortly after midnight, the idea of an adventure in the warm, wet air has lured you outside. Wandering alone down a dark, deserted street in the pouring rain, you seem to have gone quite a distance from your familiar surroundings. The storm has become drastically worse than when you left. You hastily decide to seek shelter in a nearby cozy looking dive on the corner. The atmosphere is quite lively. As you take a seat at the crowded bar, you notice the people absorbed in their own realities. You’re a one man audience in the film of life.
Voice – Once I met a girl with the sun in her head
The nice and neat handwriting on the mystery package lead me to believe a woman had to be behind all this manipulation. She’s pulling exactly the right strings whoever it might be. The woman who moved in next door just a few weeks ago seemed so innocent and delicate. I had watched her come and go on many occasions. It couldn’t be her, could it? Who could this be? I must be going mad.
Heimatland – Dear Columbus
Walking through the corridors of an empty apartment with wooden floors, you discover a golden key covered in dust lying in the corner. You see the windows have been left wide open. It’s windy. The curtains of white lace gently flow back and forth. You look out into the street. A dead man with a grin on his face stares directly into your eyes as if he’s trying to tell you something.
Les garcons de la plage – Wonderboy
You’ve packed your bag and on your way. Second thoughts race constantly through your head, but things cannot be any different. A new life someway, somehow awaits you. The letter she wrote is still crumpled in your pocket. Time and time again, you take it out looking carefully over every detail. You can’t stop reading it word for word, over & over.
Israel M – Nardaham in problems
Your TV is not working. You change the channel. A blurred image of a man with huge eyes appears on your screen. He’s moving is lips as if he’s talking but you make out anything. His message seems important, it’s as if he needs your help. There’s no way to understand him with the static distorting the picture. The situation drives you to start pacing back & forth in the room. You fall onto the floor in a frenzy and start to chew the electric cable.

a distorted beginning – cicadas buzz in the trees standing on the edge of an industry landscape. breakbeats crawl out to introduce themselves. just the beginning of a very nice surprise.

your hands – uh oh. a serious groove combined with rebellious male/female vocals and playful melodies. meaningful and gorgeous. “how are you gonna change the world?”

sounding it out – lights out, strobo on. melt like lava to these vibes. just take me where you want!

go to b.ed – “sing to me sweet sirens”

st valentine – sunset at the oasis, dip your feet into the luke warm water. Evening stars slowly come out to shine. A satisfying smile blossoms across your face.

colder – outside, falling snowflakes cover the meadow in white, the wind blows, and piles of glittering ice crystals reunite to tell their secrets.
steamy sounding drums with beautiful chimes, fat bass and whispering male vocals.

different cities – late at night, you stand at a bus station in big city you don’t know. everything seems way too quiet…then some dark looking man, with a hat and serious look, drives up in a black ford 1960 galaxie town sedan and tells you to get in or else…
this whipping snare and hypnotic beat pull you on the dancefloor.

resolver – there’s a whispering in your ear coming from nowhere. you stop and listen, this distraction becomes a delight, unfolding a rhythm, a transparent beat formation. wake up…

vhs duplication blues – you find a video cassette you’d love to copy. on the back there’s a short description about the film but somehow half way through reading it you start to feel dizzy and your vision starts to blur.
breakbeats play with a melody madness, strings and fuzzy sounds.

capture – you are diving, seeing the vast subterraneous surface deep in the ocean for the first time, time stands still. you feel surrounded but you are not afraid and suddenly the voice of your subconscious speaks…what did you say?

all songs written, recorded, mixed by brad crowe at the dubb refinery, ottawa, canada between february and september, 2005.
mastered by ron schneider at mdz studios, berlin.

lipstick – air is sweet…a sparkling oasis in the middle of a vast desert on a 120 degrees Fahrenheit day…this is where i find myself when i hear air is sweet. soft and tender female vocals from over a crispy driven beat. set up your hammock under the palm trees and enjoy the whispering wind. i can stay forever.

air is sweet – telafonica mix…when atoms explode…this remix is an explosion of excitement! a breakbeat firecracker version of air is sweet.

telafonica – one and one…like a snake charmer hypnotizing his snake out of a basket…with rough and housy elements this song takes a wild twist toward the end! simply seductive, a burner.

one and one – lipstick mix…woah! hold on, gotta listen to that again. very surreal & definitely hypnotic with a building drive. a real tease!
