 ISAN
ISAN’s web site (www.isan.co.uk) describes their relationship like this: “Composing and producing alone, in geographically disparate studios - communicating by mail, phone and internet - the two individuals produce similar enough music to fly under the same flag.
What I think ISAN have done on this release is move away from the quick and tidy songs of Beautronics and Salamander—which emphasized cute, clever rhythms and synth lines—and move toward atmospheric meditations that use rhythm sparingly and are centered around the interplay between disparate melodic lines.
Again, as in all ISAN music, the ideas here are utterly simple, but the performances, the ways each sound plays along with and plays against every other sound, are hypnotic, beautiful, and fascinating.

Isan women rarely have boyfriends until they meet the man whom they will eventually marry, and tradition requires that the betrothal is then announced.

The term Isan stands for 'integrated services analogue network', and beside other reasons it reveals their interest in using dodgy old keyboards to make dodgy old noise.
But with their new 6 track mlp on Morr music even the listeners who are new to the Isan network will soon recognize that the definition of dodgy old noise and analogue synth-sounds becomes a completely new dimension.
Isan´s music is a kind of ambivalent thing: simple but pure, noisy but clear, strange but true, to mention only a few.

Isan is generally not used as a language of written communication, but when it is written, the Thai script is used (rather than the Lao), creating another distinction between the two languages.

 Isan - Music Downloads - Online
Bio: Robin Saville and Antony Ryan's releases as isan are characterized by simple rhythms, pop-inflected song structures, and strong, committedly analog melodies.
Dodging that approach, isan joined artists such as Solvent, B. Fleischmann, Sweden's Pluxus, and Krautrock-electronica fusionists To Rococo Rot in making their music warm, inviting, and accessible.
Like many of those artists, isan (perhaps inadvertently) draws on the '70s and '80s electronic experiments of Hans-Joachim Roedelius, Jean-Michel Jarre, early new wave, and Another Green World-era Brian Eno.

 ISAN
ISAN's first album, Beautronics, is a lot of fun, but it is nowhere close to being as intelligent, mature, and interesting as their sophmore effort, Salamander.
Other songs, like "Still, Blue," are more obviously complex, with a plethora of CGD, FX, and found sounds coalescing into an abstract IDM loop; but even here, the complexity is often shrouded in simple melodies so that the loop is often obscured.
ISAN is a top-notch outfit; this second album proves it.

The potential outreach of the Isan Scriptures is in the tens of millions, and is now beginning to reach across Thailand's borders into Laos and beyond, far beyond the scope of the Myers' original ministry and exciting beyond their imagination.
Numerous missionaries serving in Thailand's Isan region agree that the Isan translation is foundationally strategic and vitally important to successful evangelism and church growth throughout the region.
In other words, the Isan are still waiting for God's eternal, life-giving Word in their own heart language, and we are literally standing in the gap between Heaven and Hell on their behalf as we endeavor to see this vital Bible translation project through to completion.
