Misplaced EP
March 2006
Monotonik netlabel, cat#mtk163
“We’re delighted to be able to release Finland’s idm maestro Planet Boelex’s third EP for Monotonik, ‘Misplaced’,
following some enchanting EPs and single releases for netlabels including Ogredung, Aerotone, and Afe Records.
Actually, it’s arguably the most reflective of the bunch, even including guest vocals and guitar, as Ossi, aka
Boelex himself, stretches across ever more expansive, ambient Scandinavian vistas.
The first track out of the gate, ‘Only Slightly Distant’, showcases a style that’s even smoother than normal, all
pitter patter in the night, before ‘Diciassette Anni’, which includes vocals written and performed by Valentina
Gualtieri in Italian, drifts rather slinkily into view. Most intriguing of all is probably ‘Seadreamers’, including
acoustic guitar by U.S. musician Travis Nobles (who also provided the cover art for this release), and providing
a very different atmosphere for this particular excursion.
Thus, we finish up with ‘Last Stone’, which we won’t leave unturned or unlistened, thanks to a little more signature
melodic interplay from Planet Boelex, as his music gets more sophisticated, more chilled, and more enjoyable all at once.”
