I recently got Delarosa & Asora's Agony Pt. 1, Motmos' A Chance to Cut is a Chance to Cure. They are all pretty crisp sounding cds, with Delarosa & Asora being my favorite of the three. Agony is a fun cd that is pretty spastic, and offers a good amount of variety while still sounding pretty much the same from track to track. Its more of a headphone cd than a dance cd, unlike Matmos. Matmos is a more uhhh, electronica oreinted if you ask me, though the track composed entirely from the plucked and bowed rib cage of a rat is very unique and worth the purchase of the cd if you ask me. AEM's cd is very good for someone who isn't signed. I actually like it a bit more than Matmos. It reminds me of Solar X a bit. I would give Matmos and AEM a solid 3/5 stars and Delarosa & Asora 4/5 stars. The real find I got last week, though, was My Bloody Valentine's Loveless. This cd is flat out gorgeous. A wall of sound, a sea of guitars. Perhaps the greatest album ever recorded. And while it isn't IDM I would recommend everyone on this list list to get it because it is so unbelievably LUSH. Absolutely gorgeous, I've listened to it a few times every day since I've got it and have not grown bored with it in the least. The sound is so dense you can't even make out the lyrics. do yourself a favor and pick this up, put on some headphones and lay in bed all day while drifting down stream on a sea of undulating sonic clouds. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
