A-MEN !
Sensurreal definitely gets my vote for combining the most gorgeous
melodies with intricate beats and atmospheres. Every release is as
essential to IDM as some of the other Gods of IDM. Period.
I don't know which Sensurreal releases you've heard, but
recommendations that come to mind are:
- The (relatively) recent EP on Op-Art "New Brand Design"
- Various EPs on the sadly defunct BMU-label. Some of these tracks
were collected on one of the best albums ever: "The Occasional
Series". I dare you all to listen to it, esp. "Astral Black", and
tell me you're not moved.
There's also the work of Gerd, half of Sensurreal, but that has been
dealt with by another poster. I'd like to add that Gerd also releases
as Metro Dade on the Music Man label. That material is slightly more
dancefloor-aimed, but it's right up there with the Sensurreal stuff.
Sorry for the superlatives, but Sensurreal is to me what AFX is to
others.
