INQB8R server crash (1) |
| We believe everybody experiences this once in few years, as we did: the server which hosted INQB8R, has been broken because of abnormal 2010 Latvian heat. Luckily we have backups from the end of May and were able to restore most of our work. Unfortunately, genious comments made on our community during the last 1,5 months by Gosh, Quanthe, Normunds Pics, and few others, are all lost with no trace. We apologize for this Force majeure; for some time, we have moved our project to another server and expect to host it here as long as possible, but all this website technology appears so unreliable, that we must think about something physical regarding our releases, definitely :-) When you lose something, it's a good reason to start something new from scratch and appeal for a new karma. Let's see how it goes. Thanks so far to all for staying together... >>> |

Ariu Kara's EP on NTNS Radio! (0) |
|
It was actually the first time when our label got attention from some radio, the fact, which gained a lot of our attention and pleasure. The lucky lot to be first is won by Mark Stolk aka Mystahr, the Dutch musician and music enthusiast which creates his Saturday show since 2007 on StillStream, an ambient Internet radio station that is on the air 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The most important in this story is that there is so much free music around us, and there is so many gifted musicians, that the StillStream's air may appear constantly distinct. No hits shit and no repetitive songs shit. Just recently there were times when the listeners were regulated by big label companies, and so musicians were regulated by huge management teams; this times are still present, but they are also extended to more freedom by independant musicians, which compose and distribute music on their own goal, which are presented by the independant labels like ours at no charge just because of ent... >>> |

Interview with Gosh published (0) |
|
Gosh was the first musician, thus not-so-unknown person on the local scene, to agree to communicate with us on the tet-a-tet discussion level. We hope to work on such interviews on a regular basis in the future. After loooooooooong workout, the final version of the interview is available for your pleasant reading on our Community. This interview so far is the longer communication attempt in our practice. It took more than 4 months to discuss everything we would like to bring on top, and then it took a few weeks to modify it heavily, cutting arguable parts from the both sides. We hope you will enjoy it, since it is really an essence of the recent evaluation of music. >>> |

Sound Proector reviewers found Sweeping Logic release of INQB8R "touching and impressive" (0) |
|
One of the top web magazines from Russia, Sound Proector, related to the wide fields of unusual electronic music, its authors and listeners, recently reviewed our "Lucid Side of the Dream" release of Sweeping Logic, finding it a great example of the 'hallucinogenic stuff'. Below follows our free-type English translation of this wonderful review (original in Russian can be read on our forums as well): pi micron: Taking into attention a short time went since their previous EP, the recent free downloadable edition of INQB8R touched and impressed me a lot. A person standing behind the 'Sweeping Logic' prioject is rather unknown for the wide audience, and his tracks were issued earlier not on major labels, but on last.fm and myspace websites. INQB8R reworked and mixed them in a whole soundrow, that way bringing the "official" release to public. The music consists of the remarkable trip over the night city eating crowds of people and cars, splitten ... >>> |

Warming Up the MySpace... (0) |
|
Imagine a chair which has no 4th leg and is instantly moving from side to side - you won't feel comfortable, will you? If you want to know the slowest side of the Internet, come to My Space. This is a badly programmed toilet, which may load in few minutes and which often disconnects from you. The interface is a long story to learn, specially for those who is not familiar with a social network. It seems you waste a lot of time while trying to get in here and there, because 90% of the features are not intuitive to understand, and the interface is ugly. If it would be just a regular website, we would leave it in few minutes with no returning back. But some day in the past they said it will be a website where anybody can talk to their Stars as Friends. That's why this trashcan is full of nice people now. As anybody else we were forced to open an account there, and without really a big promotion already gained a circle of about hundred friends, including nowadays top and upcoming... >>> |

Vital Weekly reviews XIIORA release of INQB8R as "highly puzzling and conceptual" (0) |
|
Vital Weekly is an e-mail magazine, which appears 48 times a year and has the latest CD-reviews and news on concerts and festivals. Vital started in 1987 as magazine on paper. It's simple xeroxed form ensured a free copyright and everybody was encouraged to make copies and distribute them freely. Up until 1995 44 issues were made and with the arrival of the Internet, Vital changed into a pure review newsletter and since then it appears weekly. It was hosted by Staalplaat for ten years. The main person behind the Vital Weekly is Frans de Waard who was actually Staalplaat's ideologist. Here is what mr. Waard wrote about our release (the original can be found under Vital Weekly #634, week 27): Now here's a highly puzzling release. Xiiora is one Oswald Gee, the famous author of 'Encyclopedia Of Harsh', born in Eastern Island, killed later on. How it relates to this music I don't know. Or who made it. Even more curious is that the release contains only two ve... >>> |

Sound Proector reviews XIIORA release of INQB8R as "extra-ordinary" (0) |
|
The famous web magazine from Russia, Sound Proector, researching "complex unusual sounds" and related mostly to experimental electronic music, recently reviewed our "Horibunopuyar" release of XIIORA giving it a higher rating of concept. Below follows our free-mind English translation of their article (original in Russian can be read on our forums as well): Slide: On our planet lost in space, nowadays and always it's been hard to find a project with its own unique idea. If your search is related to a sound diving, it becomes a long-lasting joy if you finally catch up something of extra-ordinary. And it's specially funny when strolling never ending online fields you suddenly come up to a small but expressively independant online foundation, which brings you discovering of something strange and unusual for yourself, kind of d?j? vu, a reality dream or dream reality. For an unknown net label project like INQB8R, their recent release XIIORA - Horibunopuyar can... >>> |

INQB8R: The Grand Opening (2) |
|
Nobody knows how much time passed since the first such idea flew into their heads... but in spring 2006 the initiators of this project have met for the first time in the local bar of Riga to discuss possible starting and development of a netlabel. About 20 months of the hard, patient and laborious work followed after that. By this time the bar where they've met was closed, as well as were closed some of just opened netlabels in Latvia; Saddam was killed amongst the rabbits and pigs, Stanislav Lem, Rajkumar and Kurt Vonnegut died; the global economics freezed down because of a surprisingly low dollar rate, and... And nobody really knows what else happened beyond the eyes and ears. The most important thing we know is that we are launching in the time while many others fail. Are we afraid to fail? Yes. Do we have plans to fail? No. We really hope this project will be serious and long-term, and we hope this is one of its strongest sides: to be stable and constant. It needs to be... >>> |
