Autumn leaves by Scaven
3rd release of our 2021 Bandcamp reissue series. A true gem from our back-catalogue (2003). Includes a Bandcamp-only unreleased new track (2021) and an exclusive remix (2003).
" ... Autumn leaves, debut of the Amsterdam one-man band Scaven, is an autumnal and mature sounding record full of electronic mood music that deserves a wider audience than just a handful of afficionados ... " (Alfred Bos, Aloha 2003)
LINER NOTES 2003:
Sometimes artists manage to join the greatest here on earth with their debut. Think of Bola who made such an impression with his 'Soup' that the Bolaman could immediately be placed between the Future Sound Of London, Autechre and Boards Of Canada. Well, something like this may also happen in The Netherlands through the debut of Scaven. The first listen to 'Autumn leaves' makes you long for autumn. Not too warm, certainly not too cold, but above all for melancholy. 'Hello goodbye' (track 1) can match itself with Global Communication or Autechre, but then with fascinating voice samples. Scaven himself does not hide the fact that he listens to others, who doesn't? For example, 'Ridum' could be done by F.S.O.L. This CD is breathing spheres that can also appeal to fans of Pete Namlook (track 7) and Biosphere (tracks 9, 10, 11). 'Orchide' (track 12) is Edgar Froese from Tangerine Dream who is at last moving along with the time... That leaves us with the title track which is closing the CD so majestically with its emphatic melody and voice samples, that it forces you to push the play button in order to listen to 'Autumn leaves' once again.
Grab the opportunity, these kinds of CDs are rare. Let those autumn leaves whirl!
