the below description of a To Rococo Rot side-project release on Soul
Static Sound is from the Forced Exposure mailout. it sounds interesting to
me, and i've been into some of the TRR stuff (especially the remix mini-LP,
which also appeared through Soul Static Sound). should i take the
comparisons to Chain Reaction et al at the bottom there literally -- ie.,
is this minimal techno?
