I also found it a bit strange that this has gotten no mention... on a superficial level I'd say it sounds a bit like the whole 'schematic/mas' thing going around these days but somehow it seems to interject a good deal of personality and more importantly a fair amount of melody... (read also: not as slick/ a bit more 'human') In a nutshell there are some nice chord progressions and a few harmonies that sneak in and out on occasion.... As someone who has been disappointed for the last few months w/ my purchases in this neighborhood of sound, I'd say this is well worth tracking down. apparently, this is a first effort by some guy from austria and i believe its out on worm interface. only negative is the brown paper bag sleeve (not unlike those school lunch bags) which hasn’t held together so well for me... _____ Subject: (idm) Gimmick - Load Error A friend bought this vinyl-only 12" at Sister Ray in London; it comes in a brown-paper-bag-like sleeve. He reckons it's pretty good: "Like Aphex Twin but more exciting." I've not seen any discussion of this on idm -- anyone know who this is?
