I definitely agree with Nick here. Novel23's latest output "Melodies of Childhood for Advanced Imagination". Recommended to those who like intricately laid out melodies, and electronica that puts you to tears. I'd also look into Eu's stuff. They've got a track on the "Artefacts" compilation, as well as a cdr full-length "Eu_Soft" -- Christmas Baubles, and these two fellaz (Sasha & Ilya) also have sizeable chunks of melodic structure's (not as much as Novel23), while maintaining that experimental electronic groove throughout. Check out www.mu.ru.eu for more on Eu. Fizzarum is still my favorite.. can't quite get over those drenching clicks and clacks! ; ) Pietro. np-- Phoenecia "Ae--systems mono version" .. it would be nice if Ae would somehow go back to the "Incunabula" sound. Push Button Objects and Richard Devine have their mixes nicely tuned: funked up glitchy hip-hop electronics for your brain, but Ae totally loses my attention this time around. ___________________________________________ 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.groovesmag.com grooves experimental electronics music mag --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Definately good stuff. I've been listening to this one a ton lately/

As for the russian stuff, Solar X is still my absolute favorite. "Little Pretty Automatic" always floors me

Well, I don't know if they need to go all the way back to Incunabula, they've had some good moments since. But what I would like to see is a return to some of the great melodic stuff they were doing in the past. I also think the production on the newer stuff(EP7in particular) isn't as tight as it once was. The frequencies don't really fall in the right places to give the tracks any punch or kick. This may be delibirate but to my ears lessens the tracks. I guess the biggest problem is that there is alot of DSP wankery going on and a dis-regard for song structure. I think in looking back, people will view the current trend of over DSPing tracks the same way people do Images that have been over KAI's power tools to death OK rant over Rob --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
