Subject:: (idm) Clicks + Cuts [mille plateaux]

I was hesitant to purchase this because of the price-tag, but now that it sits comfortably in my cd-player, i'm glad to have been introduced to the future of sonic manipulations known as the Click + Cuts compilation on Mille Plateaux. I tend to play this "type" of stuff (Oval, Pansonic, Pole etc) when i need to relax, read, or just put my mind at ease, but this compilation encapsulates a wide platform of unique sound elements that are truly out of this world. I should probably seek out more of the artists listed on this strong release. CD1 revolve's around a smooth minimal techno theme with spurts of soothing ambience while CD2 takes those elements and distorts them into a more experimental direction. It's not very often that you get to hear such an assortment of fine artist's on one compilation, and from the nice reviews i've heard via idm-L, i'm glad to have picked this up. This compilation is well worth the purchase, and don't just take my word for it. Check the website for more details at http://www.mille-plateaux.com/ Features: Frank Bretschneider, SND, Farben, V. Delay, Pole, Pansonic, Alva Noto, Skist, Stilluppsteypa, Neina, Sutekh, Curd Duca, Ester Brinkmann, All, Dettinger, Autopoieses, Jake Mandell, Kit Clayton, Ultra-Red, Reinhard Voigt, Thomas Meinecke's Framus Waikiki, Panacea, IHAN, Kid 606 and Goem.

"Clicks + Cuts" is an introduction to the functioning of 21st century minimalism, the collection of schools of sound to come, and schools of life to follow. And it sounds first of all promising. >>Sascha Kosch. Very well put.. and an excellent release to open up the new year!
