It's a cool record in a minimal sort of way. It's completely un-IDM but
intelligent nevertheless.
The recording consists of one long 74 min track of droning, echoey,
industrial ambient soundscapes. Sometimes quiet, sometimes booming,
sometimes reverberating. A variety of sounds overlay the background
subwoofer-friendly booming: clicks, buzzes, tinkles, water, etc.
I quite like this experimental approach and the results themselves.
There are two other NUF rekkids...the first just called NUF, and the
latest one which remixes the record you have---excellent, excellent d-n-b,
trip hop, and ambient dub.
Keep your eye on this guy.
On now: Amberdelic Space...a great cheap comp...I think I have most of
this 4CD set on vinyl, and scattered on CDs, but not in one place for 22
bucks.
Take care!
