Here's a name which doesn't get mentioned much here, but should. Dunno how long his latest (on Mute) has been out, but I was on one of my relatively rare real-world music shopping jaunts the other day when my friend (thanks Ed!) pointed it out to me. Being a long time Hiller afficianado (anyone remember Palais Schaumburg?), I grabbed it. Great stuff. It has the quirky, cacophonic edge (almost old skool industrial/orchestral) which earmarked his early solo material and a touch of the smooth production of the later material plus some contemporary beat structures to boot. It has a dark, dissonant streak - and as always, Hiller makes great use of his samples. -- jeff "10,000 people all screaming the same thing at the same time are wrong, even if they're right." dancing/about/architecture "...with wandering steps and slow..."
