Seemingly caught in garageband limbo, alka (Bryan Michael) would have liked to
believe that by now, humans would have progressed in their musical tastes. Besides, a
computer can out-solo a stunt guitarist any day. Experimenting in a genre largely
criticized for it's lack of emotion, Alka blends styles to create music that is both
melancholic and uplifting; synthetic yet melodic. Alka's music is vast enough to go well
with wide open spaces or condensed urban settings... it is the place where lucidity and
obscurity meet.
Alka is quickly becoming one of the world's most respected IDM artists. His unique blend
of modular synthesis accentuates even the most subtle details of analog sound, in a sea
of IDM rhythm and playful melody. Many would argue that his technique in the genre is
nothing short of elite. Alka has appeared on Roger O"Donnell's (Ex-Cure, Thompson
Twins, Psychedelic Furs) release "Songs From The Silver Box" on 99x/10 records, as well
as many other notable electronic compilations.

The first full-length release from Alka. If
any electronic ambient album should be
labeled elite, this is one of them.
Blissful melodies, sharp and innovative
rhythm work, and atmospheres bigger
than the universe are all stuffed into
these 12 songs. Very reminiscent of old
Future Sound of London, Arovane,
Plaid, etc., but in a fresh new cutting
edge way.
