Sure -- some parts are pure ambience while others are rhythmic and more "song" oriented if you will, though always undulating and jazzy as opposed to structured. There are either live or sampled percussive elements to some of the tracks and the occasional piano, brass, or guitar. Some of these instruments were recorded live according to the album's additional musician credits. It's very tastefully done. The ambient textures are deep and intriguing, and the bits and pieces of melody that surface from time to time on the recording are soothing, yet crisp. I'm off to go check out what the DVD disc has to offer... t --- Tom Butcher Codebase "Style Encoding" CD/2LP out now on Force Inc. http://www.x09music.com/codebase --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Well, I generally suck at describing sound, so I won't even try (other than stating that I love the album and still haven't watched the DVD... ;), but if it's soundbytes you want, just head over to http://www.rechenzentrum.org/dc_audvid.html and start your downloading engines... :) -- Kurt Bernhard Pruenner --- Haendelstrasse 17 --- 4020 Linz --- Austria .......It might be written "Mindfuck", but it's spelt "L-A-I-N"....... np: Autechre - Autriche (Incunabula) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
