Ola Bergman, Quizzical – Issue 1 [New Speak – NSPK009A, 2011]

An intriguing new release and solid record (some pun intended) out on New Speak by the founder and owner Ola Bergman. The label was activated the same year as Electronic Desert and that would be Anno Domini 2002 (wait a year and it’ll be an even move of ten). The latest New Speak recording was… Continue reading Ola Bergman, Quizzical – Issue 1 [New Speak – NSPK009A, 2011]

Lackluster, What You Want Isn’t What You Need [New Speak – NSPK008, 2005]

“What You Want Isn’t What You Need” is the title of Lackluster’s full-length release on New Speak and by the looks of it is also possibly the last New Speak release ever! On the album Lackluster has searched his extensive archives and comes up with 10 tracks produced during the years 1996 – 2006. His… Continue reading Lackluster, What You Want Isn’t What You Need [New Speak – NSPK008, 2005]

Ola Bergman, The Satellite City [New Speak – NSPK007, 2005]

Oh man is this ever a good idea! Ola Bergman’s “The Satellite City” is a digital summary of his more or less hard to come by 12-inch New Speak vinyl singles. New Speak of course being his very own prolific label (this CD release surely already has watered the mouths of the filesharing community outthere).… Continue reading Ola Bergman, The Satellite City [New Speak – NSPK007, 2005]

Ludvig Elblaus, Furious Styles [New Speak – NSPK005, 2004]

“Furious Styles” is a superb 6-track release by Ludvig Elblaus out on New Speak (Hey, whatever happened to EDr?) and also his first release as a solo artist. (As you may or may not know Ludvig Elblaus is exactly one half of Frank and Bill.) One recurring trade or pattern is Elblaus’ strong focus on… Continue reading Ludvig Elblaus, Furious Styles [New Speak – NSPK005, 2004]

Various Artists, Skåne Revisited [New Speak – NSPK004, 2004]

It should be a project doomed to fail, a 12 track remix compilation of the same unreleased song. But “Skåne Revisited” is all but a failure and it works like a charm. The fourth New Speak release is just that a compilation CD with twelve remixes of an unreleased Komp track from 1998. As it… Continue reading Various Artists, Skåne Revisited [New Speak – NSPK004, 2004]

Ola Bergman, Pseudocarp [New Speak – NSPK003, 2003]

After the delightful second release courtesy of Bauri, who will be performing live at ED109 by the way, New Speak presents the third instalment “Pseudocarp” by Ola Bergman. However, by the time this review gets posted it is most likely already sold out, but any efforts to obtain a copy will be worthwhile! Actually I… Continue reading Ola Bergman, Pseudocarp [New Speak – NSPK003, 2003]

Bauri, Everything Will Be OK Again [New Speak – NSPK002, 2003]

Another excellent release by our friends at New Speak and this the second piece if new speak features Bauri and a Bauri in form I might add. There’re six tracks on this slab of vinyl and all of them are highly well produced piecies of lush and warm electronics the difference between them being a… Continue reading Bauri, Everything Will Be OK Again [New Speak – NSPK002, 2003]

Ola Bergman, The Great Family Hotel [New Speak – NSPK001, 2002]

The first release on New Speak Records is the 12″ “The Great Family Hotel” by talented Ola Bergman. With one previous release under his belt, the acclaimed Geiom split 05/06 12″ on Smak his latest released work shows great maturity. There’re blissful melodies and straightforward drum programming throughout the six track EP. Noticeable are the… Continue reading Ola Bergman, The Great Family Hotel [New Speak – NSPK001, 2002]
