I'm 5 tracks in to this new CD called Formed Verse by Neina (aka Hosomi Sakana) on Mille Plateaux, and it's giving me the same chills that Oval's *94Diskont* and Nuno Canavarro's *Plux Quba* inspired on first listen. I've a feeling Neina's going make huge ripples among IDMers who like subtle "DSP fuckery" and CD-vandalization methodology (if that's indeed what Neina's doing here; it's hard to tell exactly how the sounds are being created). For example, track 5 sounds like DISC after being forcefed a handful of Quaaludes. Overall, though, Neina has a beautiful sense of melody, which overrides his occasional forays into abrasiveness. According to the press sheet, Hosomi has began his career as a keyboardist in 1984 and has collaborated with over 100 musicians and contributed to over 200 recordings. Good to see an old geezer making such an impressive move into IDM.

Neina's Formed Verse album is excellent. I highly recommend it if you're into beatless warm melodic soundscapes mixed with a sprinkling of light pops & glitches, distant vocals snippets, and an odd environmental sample or two. Comparison to Oval's Diskont 94, Robert Babciz's excellent MoMent album, or even Microstoria's Reprovisers (for the variety in sounds) & snd albums all apply well to Neina. Regarding a vinyl version of Formed Verse, i didnt think it was available. -->-Lance--- mclance@nacs.net lance@inaudible.com p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states
