What happened to ...?

#1

Some of my favorite artists over the years suddenly just seem to stop releasing music, for whatever reason, and I sometimes wonder why. I guess it’s not economically viable for everyone, and it seems as though you need an entourage powerhouse as well as a certain sense of club/big scene-ishness over your music to be able to make it as a solo electronic musician these days (I’m exaggerating a little, but you know).

Anyways - does anyone know what have happened with these guys? They’ve delivered some of the best music I’ve heard in recent years, but then just silence. :frowning:

This record is simply stunning, and I can’t get enough of it, 8 years after it was released. What happened to Oriol?! I want more, man.

Also, Sand Circles - such an excellent release back in 2012 - then nothing (except some remixes by other people).

Anyone know? I’m just hoping they’re releasing under different names or something now. :stuck_out_tongue:

For me, it’s Fantastic Mr. Fox. Had a string of super-solid EPs at the turn of the decade, released a couple singles (sampling Colonel Abrams - Trapped no less) and haven’t heard anything since. He had this super smooth percussive feel to all the stuff he did and still listen to San’en often.

@Daisuk Sand Circles! Motor City was probably my favorite record that year and I actually still listen to it quite often (rare these days, to be honest…I admit that I’m mildly afflicted with in-one-ear-out-the-other syndrome).

I think my ultimate “disappearance act” would be o9. spectacular album from the early aughts and then just…poof.

#5

Totally forgot about this album! It’s scary how easy it is these days to just completely forget about an amazing album until it’s randomly brought to your attention again.

#6

anyone have any clue what happened to Bee Mask?

#7

I just want to know what SD Laika is up to these days. His entire catalog is ahead of our time.

#8

Yeah, me too. Got praised by Aphex Twin, and then just disappeared.

Elgato - was it an alias?
