Haven't heard too much about the folks at Boxman and A-Toi Mystery School. I'm just beginning to absorb Thermal + Seofon's "A Monument Of Chance" which spans through an array of ambient/middle- eastern/minimal and atmospheric elements loosely hinged to a tribal "sound". Extra long track time's on this 52-minute, 4-track ep which is a compilation of previously released tracks. If you're in a relaxed mood, tired, and aren't interested in hearing crazy electronics, "A Monument.." will fit you well. Lots of live drumming, twisted layers of rhythmical soundscapes, and "space-funk" for your brain to consume. Very well produced, with melodies and atmospherics that are spread out evenly and consistently throughout. Seek this one out.. you won't be disappointed! http://www.gst.net/~thermal/ [Mastered in Vapourspace by Mark Gage] Tracklisting: ~ ouster swarm ~ application of buddhistic classics ~ a toy ascending the tidal current mixture ~ another tank farm by trolly Pietro. ___________________________________________ p i e t r o d a s a c c o a u d i o - n i m b u s 9745 lynngrove cr, windsor, ontario, n8r 1b8, canada http://www.rain.org/~audio/grooves/ grooves experimental electronics music mag --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

I definitely have to agree with Pietro here. I just recently got exposed to Y2KAOS and the Thermal release he mentioned, certainly amazing. Turned out to be just what i was looking for too. The Y2KAOS 2cd has a great overall feel to it, a thick amby-tribal soup bubbling with potential. Distant ancestral rhythms and voices drift in and out, loosely following an obscure pattern. A comp to check out for sure! no@h "it's not fake, end of century, magic display" . . . . . . ..... . . . . . .
