fridge/sevens and twelves/output/2cd don't know if fridge is idm, and i'd rather not care than go thru' that thread again (see idm faq q. 1.), but the 1st track "anglepoised" is 15+ mins of blissful languid aphex twin vs slint in dub confrontation. not really radical in any way except maybe the understatement w/ which its simple minimal patterns uncoil over (a v. long) time. nice bell(sound)s too. bookending this at the end of cd1 is another long track "sequioa", which is a slow bassy thud w/ a simple but affecting violin melody. in between is more psych-prog electro funk, ambient guitar trance, and pots'n'pans percussion vs. the bleeping space invaders than y'could shake a stick at. disc2 continues in much the same way. not much overtly electronic stuff. kind of idm w/ real instruments in the sense of red snapper, and now squarepusher. more evidence of rock (w/ the emphasis on the trance/space/post end rather than say aerosmith) than in either of those tho'. so if mutant jazz post rock on live instruments is your thing this might be worth checking out. -martin

Any chance of an American release? It sounds excellent.

Another Output release worth getting if you can is 'Thirty six seventy five' by Four Tet - one of the blokes out of Fridge whose name escapes me. The title refers to the length (yeah, just like Global Communication). It consists of just one track (or two parts of one track if you have the vinyl) and it's sooo good. The 'Anglepoised' descriptions (above) are just as relevant here but this is even better than anything under the name Fridge. I'd expect one track for that length of time to get very boring after a few plays but I can't help coming back. Nick
