various artists "bip-hop generation v. 1" Bip-hop is a new french label that plans to release a series of compilations with international electronic listening music. The first volume compiles music from USA, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, France and UK. There are some really good tracks: Marumari's "A Girl I Met at the Rest Stop", Goem's "Comp Negen" and Phonem's "Don't Vote for Your Enemies". Massimo contributes two interesting and very sparse tracks, built from clicks, cuts and pure oscillator tones, good but hard to listen to if you've got problems with tinnitus and high frequency tones. The tunes from Schneider TM and Ultra Milkmaids on the other hand mostly feels like filler tracks, and Phonem's "Data Control" is rather irritatingly flatly frenetic. "bip-hop generation v. 1" is a competent document of where uncommercial electronic music is today.
