It's taken an entire year and thousands of albums to get here, but I've finally managed to compile the best records of 2012 and put them in an easy-to-reference list. The top 5 all had perfect scores, so choosing this year's best was harder than usual. In the end, there can only be 12 this year and moreover, one that surpasses all. As always, I want to personally congratulate all the artists mentioned here today and thank you for your tremendous talent and dedication to your craft– You guys are the best of the best and it was a pleasure [...]
Another Green World: Vision Quest EP - After taking a brief hiatus(4 months), Alec West aka Another Green World is back with his newest EP entitled Vision Quest . You may be saying to yourself,"Well, that was fast. It's probably not that good." That may be true for your everyday, run-of-the-mill electro artist, but then again, West is no ordinary artist. His debut, In Dreams , is still one of our highest rated albums of this year and a serious contender for the top spot, so it's no [...]
From the time I heard Nooka and Synthemesc 's collaboration 2 months ago, I knew something special was happening. While I obviously have reviewed a number of their records and interviewed a handful of their artists, Synthemesc is still a label in development... incidentally, any good label will continue to change as time goes by and in turn, influence others during that time. When I first decided to make a couple of fan videos, I really hadn't planned on going much further than 2. However once I got going, I knew we had to make one for [...]
This week on a very special Project NOOZIK™, Alec West of Another Green World and Nate Gregory of Beazt go head-to-head in a musical tour de force to produce music and fashion. After completing the initial runway show showcasing each artists' take on a charmeuse bodice and a tasteful pencil skirt made entirely from silk and staples, they each premiered their individual tracks from the Noozik compilation. VS picked up these masterpieces from among the discarded scraps of the cutting room floor and produced these 2 special videos which we are premiering here today. [...]
Amanda Palmer has been a busy lady. It’s been four years since her last record, Who Killed Amanda Palmer, and in the interim she’s been dabbling in all sorts of projects: business (you can read about her huge Kickstarter success), music (channeling her musical roots for her new album, Theatre Is Evil) and fun (adapting Neutral [...]
quello che suona Alec West con il suo progetto Another Green World lo suggerisce già il nome, che è quello di un famoso album di Brian Eno - attingendo in ugual misura dalla wave e dal synthpop degli anni ‘80 così come dalle rielaborazioni più recenti (Com Truise, Neon Indian), si rivela un esordio davvero interessante. pubblicato da Synth Records, è disponibile in download ad un prezzo a piacere: In Dreams by Another Green World
From singer/songwriters to shoegaze and chill wave, each video this week takes us to places both real and imagined... Sun Kil Moon 's newest record, Among The Leaves , is one of Mark Kozelek's most revealing albums to date. What's even more revealing is how often he makes a video for one of his songs... almost never. Until now. Jens Lekman 's I Know What Love Isn't doesn't come out until September 4th, [...]
The first time I heard Another Green World , my mind was reeling with questions: What does this remind me of? How is he pulling this amazing thing off? What the hell did he just do there? In short, I was enthralled with nearly every aspect of it. While I instantly wanted to tell the world about what I had been repeating over and over on my iPod, it still took me a while to form the adequate words to do it justice... even now it seems slightly underwritten. After listening to In Dreams [...]
Another Green World: In Dreams - Another Green World is the lo-fi synth pop project of Alec West based in Memphis, TN. I'm not sure what it is about Synthemesc artists, but there's certainly something to be said about nearly every one of them. Another Green World is just the latest example of the many beautiful things happening there. It took me a while to wrap my mind around the art that In Dreams unapologetically throws at you with every guitar strum, beat, melodic keyboard riff and airy vocal. Though [...]
So many times we fall behind for things that are out of our control. Other times it's because we're working extra hard. Things are about to take a drastic turn around here in the next few weeks, but rest assured, you'll be the beneficiary of it. VERY excited... Moonface 's last record was a favorite of mine and thanks to continued creative film making, this video for 'Faraway Lightning' is probably the best video Spencer Krug 's eloquent voice has ever been associated with. [...]
It's a synth pop day here at VS and though these videos may baffle you or make you nostalgic, it's actually the music that you'll walk away remembering most. M83 has finally released his follow-up video to ' Midnight City ' with this new video for 'Reunion'. If you were lost during the first video, this should explain things a little better... or confuse the fuck out of you, whichever. Reunion [...]
Los nombres de muchas bandas provienen algunas veces de alguna canción o disco de otro artista, Alec West le colocó a su proyecto el nombre del tercer disco de Brian Eno, Another Green World . " Submissions " forma parte de In Dreams , release que hará el 12 de abril, para lo que creo que esta canción es un advance o algo así, porque de fijarse en sus discos pasados notarán que pasan cada uno las ocho piezas, mismas que se cocinan desde su propia habitación. [...]

I had a nightmare recently. I was traversing some sinister alien version of New York through an endless, rain-soaked night. Then I found myself on an even more sinister structure that was a hybrid of a mile-high scaffold and the Roosevelt Island Tramway. Holding on for dear life, the thing transported me from a far-flung district to some version of midtown, where all the skyscrapers looked like serrated knives. I put myself low to the ground to combat the vertigo. I guess it's some kind of anxiety dream that comes along when you're [...]
