Either way, <a href=\"https:\/\/thoughost.bandcamp.com\/album\/ephemanent\"><em>Ephemanent<\/em> from Chinese label Thoughost<\/a> is as good a compilation of melodic freeform as you&#8217;ll find anywhere this year, even with plenty of it around at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Overall it shows a strong Japanese\/UK influence with breakbeats, pianos, and breakdowns long enough to take a little nap before the drop &#8211; but this is high quality stuff, and many of the melodies are a step above what we tend to hear these days. I used quite a few in my <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Iyq8Ghcepdo?si=nDeinOOUa9YBn_SS\">TYFTH Live set<\/a> (more on that pretty soon) and while they are some of the strongest on the compilation there are some more typical TYFTH tracks tucked away in here too. The favourite for me is probably MiYAjY&#8217;s <em>Nightmare Trigger<\/em>, an aggressive track that builds into a quality atmosphere, partly thanks to those nicely gritty filters. Joulez&#8217;s <em>Bezerk <\/em>is also a highlight, with a Betwixt feel to the structure and melodies.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere it&#8217;s more of what you&#8217;d expect, with two great contributions from Nirotiy to finish things off. Perhaps not a gold star TYFTH recommendation &#8211; only a few of the tracks would be contenders for me in a &#8216;normal&#8217; TYFTH set &#8211; but if you&#8217;re looking for a break from the dark side and want to build up your collection of modern melodic freeform, this is definitely the place to start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ephemanent by Thoughost With a big list of posts on the to-do list, let&#8217;s get going with one of the more obvious ones.
