Music for Invisible People is the title of Melodium’s second full-length album for Autres Directions in Music. The 13 track album is filled with his brand of quirky acoustically based electronic music that can be heard on previous releases such as Parthenay EP from 2003 (which is also the very first ADIM release), La Tête… Continue reading Melodium, Music for the Invisible People [Autres Directions in Music – MOULIN017, 2006]

Atone, Un An [Autres Directions In Music – MOULIN015, 2006]
This follow up to Atone’s EP “Un Jour” is cleverly named “Un An” and it seems especially fitting because his second release is a full-length album. (The clever part would consist in that “Jour” means Day and “An” means Year.) These releases were made by the influential French label Autres Directions In Music – Adim.… Continue reading Atone, Un An [Autres Directions In Music – MOULIN015, 2006]
Depth Affect, Arche-Lymb [Autres Directions In Music – MOULIN011CD, 2006]
Depth Affect’s latest contribution to Adim is their full-length album entitled “Arche-Lymb” released not so long ago (FEB 2006). Their previous contributions include the “Mesquin EP”, a track included on the massive 30 artists “The Noise & The City” compilation and various remixes. I guess that their original statement about their music is still a… Continue reading Depth Affect, Arche-Lymb [Autres Directions In Music – MOULIN011CD, 2006]
Tony, Itinérances LP [Autres Directions In Music – MOULIN010, 2005]
“Itinérances” is the title of a recently released EP (OCT 2005) on the French label Autres Directions in Music (Adim).

They’re acoustically based and at times fragile pieces of music made by the artist put… Continue reading Tony, Itinérances LP [Autres Directions In Music – MOULIN010, 2005]
Melodium, Hum Hum & Bla Bla [Autres Directions In Music – MOULIN014, 2005]
One of Adim’s rising stars strikes again, this time around his œuvre is somewhat cryptically entitled “Hum Hum & Bla Bla” and proudly carrying catalogue number Moulin014.

Obadia, Where Does Dust Come From EP [Autres Directions In Music – MOULIN009, 2005]
After the to say the least immense 30 cities/30 artists compilation release from last year (2004) comes the playful “Where Does Dust Come From EP”. Be it that the tongue-in-cheek factor is a bit high for my personal liking this release strengthens the Adim label’s identity. Lightly processed acoustic guitar and handclap forms the outlines… Continue reading Obadia, Where Does Dust Come From EP [Autres Directions In Music – MOULIN009, 2005]
Various Artists, The Noise & The City [Autres Directions In Music – MOULIN008, 2004]

Dirge, Fountain EP [Autres Directions In Music – MOULIN005, 2004]
There’s a decidedly analogue feeling to the start of Dirge’s Fountain EP the fifth offering on Adim – Moulin005. In the “Hidden Track” the feeling is enhanced by the live sounding drums, guitars and unprocessed vocal, however there’s a lonely sounding violin involved as well in this melancholic track. “Casio (Early Version)” is a minute… Continue reading Dirge, Fountain EP [Autres Directions In Music – MOULIN005, 2004]

Propergol y Colargol, Charly Roger. Charly Roger. Songs for Fuzzycandy LP [Autres Directions In Music – MOULIN007, 2004]
The seventh release on Adim is brought to you by Propergol y Colargol. Their album entitled “Charly Roger. Songs for fuzzycandy LP” is Moulin007 it’s great. “No Particular Destination” sets of in a beatless and dark direction. “Il Covo Club” adds some structure to the sonic picture and its understated beats are decidedly glitchy. “Aunties… Continue reading Propergol y Colargol, Charly Roger.
