Artificial Care by Shird Leopart

95th solo album by Shird Leopart

"From the opening track "Remorse And Misery", it's clear that this album is a scathing critique of the excessive consumerism and elitism that can be found in the world of electronic music production. Shird Leopart's decision to use a budget-priced gear like the West Pest by Cre8audio is a deliberate statement against the hyper-expensive Eurorack modules that are ofteen seen as necessary for serious music production.

Despite the limited equipment, the album's production is surprisingly rich and varied. Shird's use of distorsion, delay and other effects creates a unique and engaging sound that is both raw and polished. The album's tracks range from hard-hitting beats to more experimental, abstract compositions, demonstrating a wide range of sonic possibilities even with limited gear.

Overall, Artificial Care is bold and thought-provoking album that challenges the status quo of electronic music production. Leopart's use of budget gear is a refreshing reminder that creativity and musicality are not determined by the price tag of equipment."
