Analog Workshop - Emporium Of Broken Toys

Analog Workshop - Emporium Of Broken Toys

Label: Test Tube
Released: 09.05.2010
Style: IDM, Downtempo

Analog Workshop is Johnny Mendoza, working out of LA, California. With a rich music background which included his guitarist father, a friend dj and a vinyl collection, Johnny started to build an interest around electronic music composing, both analog and software based, like Reason and the like.
It's a bit awkward trying to dissecate his influences from the music he delivers with this 'Emporium of Broken Toys', the most notable is undoubtedly the scottish duo Boards of Canada, which has left various bits around Analog Workshop's tracks.
This is a very interesting vision of nineties IDM and electronic pop, but with a unexpecting twist that comes from Analog Workshop's own musical ingredients. Nicely done!
