The "new" album, which is actually a rerelease with
a few modifications, is somewhat different in that it
combines a more structured percussive IDM sound
with the cinematic alien soundscapes of Approx.
Love Boat. I actually like this one a little better than
Approx. Love Boat. Here is a review i wrote last
year for the phthalo label version of the album.
. Crank: Wanton Phenomena cd (Phthalo 04)
Another new album from Danny Zelonky aka Low Res,
this time on Phthalocyanine?s Phthalo label. This one has
more of an organic & percussive sound to it than this
recent Approximate Love Boat cd on Plug Research but
don't let that frighten you at all. Wanton Phenomena
contains twelve tracks of quality IDM that fits in nicely
with recent releases from Solvent, Bola, Bannlust, Epy,
and Lustmord vs Metalbeast. Expect haunting melodies
over crunchy, often polyrhythmic percussion with just a
touch of experimentalism. Another great release from
Danny Z and the Phthalo limited cdr release series. Get it
if you still can. 9/10
btw: a non-album Low Res track appears on the new
Modulations & Transformations vol 4 2xcd comp that
will be released on Mille Plateaux later this week.
