Our Take

As I delved into the sonic madness that is Various Artists' Close to the Noise Floor, I couldn't help but be transported to a world where synthesizers reign supreme and drum machines are the rulers of the land. This compilation of obscure electronic tracks from the '70s and '80s is a treasure trove of weird and wonderful sounds that will make your ears tingle with delight. From the pulsating rhythms of Silicon Valley's "Silicon Carne" to the glitchy vocals of 100% Manmade Fibre's "Green Line," this album is a journey through the outer limits of electronic music. Each track offers a unique experience, from the experimental to the downright bizarre, but all are united by a sense of playful creativity that is truly infectious. Close to the Noise Floor is a testament to the innovative spirit of the underground electronic scene, where artists were free to push boundaries and defy expectations. It's a celebration of the weird and the wonderful, the strange and the sublime, and it's a must-listen for anyone who dares to venture off the beaten path of mainstream music. So grab your headphones, turn up the volume, and let yourself be swept away by the glorious cacophony of sound that is Various Artists' Close to the Noise Floor. Trust me, your musical horizons will never be the same again.
