MH-233 Scientific American - Strong For The Future  After a string of successful production projects, Scientific American presents his Mush Records debut, Strong For The Future. Featuring ten tracks that capitalize on the fresh sounds and dynamic production of IDM without sacrificing the music's soul, the album mixes elements of electronic dance music, hip-hop, and rock into a single hybrid. With beautiful electronic compositions that could fit neatly on The Leaf Label ("Strong for the Future"), chop and paste hip-hop influenced productions reminiscent of music on Warp ("Between Urban Movements"), or classic vocal tracks that sound like the Flaming Lips produced by Boards Of Canada ("Drift in Place" which features vocals by John Atkins of 764-Hero), Scientific American has created an album that will surely be recognized as one the most expertly produced releases in the Mush catalog. |

| Former Hush Harbor drummer Andrew Rohrmann, a veteran of Seattle's indie-rock scene, explores the infinite possibilities of computer-generated music, fusing his rock roots with borrowed elements of hip-hop, IDM and several flavors of dance-oriented electronica. His beautiful and neatly layered cut-and-paste symphonies have already caught the attention of advertising bigwigs at Volkswagen and Hewlett Packard; and a few of Rohrmann's old indie-rock buddies, including Modest Mouse, have asked the self-described "sound designer" to rework tracks for them. - San Francisco Examiner |
