Hi all... I know there was a bit of a cevin key thread on here recently (i.e., talk about Skinny Puppy, Download, etc). But in any case, i just thought i'd ask around to see if anyone's picked up the new cevin effort called plateau: "music for grassbars." I figured an album like this would fit nicely into IDM and all its related craziness... I know the album's been out for a while, but anyone have any opinions? It's been described as a hybrid between Detroit minimalism and atmospheres surrounding Amsterdam cafes (the 2nd of which i can only guess at). However, it is GORGEOUS! I highly recommend it ... even if it does go a bit overboard on the ganja references ... i think it's the most hypnotic sounding material so far this year ... i can't get it outta my brain! sean.
