While browsing through Tower records today, I happened upon a CD by
Techno Animal, called "Re * Entry". (the * is really a dot on the CD).
On the front of this CD was a label, which said something along the lines of
"Aphex Twin, Seefeel, ", and a few other artists... I can't remember the
exact wording, because for some unexplained reason, I've managed to lose
this label! I called up Tower to make sure that I wasn't just dreaming up
seeing this label... The CD they had there definitely had a label on it, as
the girl mentioned Aphex and Seefeel when she read me the content of the
label.
At any rate, as I'm listening to this now, I can sort of see where this music
might _sound_ like something that a RDJ + Seefeel combo would cook up, but
it just doesn't seem right. The inside label of the CD lists these people as
the writers of the tracks: K. Martin / J. Broadrick.
Also, some other names which are mentioned on a few tracks are: Jon Hassell
(that rings a bell for some reason), Kingsuk Biswas, Tom Prentice, Dave
Cochrane, Damian Bennett.
Now, my question is of course, what, if anything, does this CD have to do
with Aphex/Seefeel, or any other groups? I've got this idea that the label
on the cover may have been referring to other releases to come or already out,
but since I can't remember exactly what it said, I'm at a loss to explain this
release. It's on the Virgin label, (Caroline in the US), and is a 2cd set.
So far, the music sounds fairly IDM-ish... a very clean sound, which is quite
uncharacteristic of anything by RDJ that I've heard. Also, I can't hear any
guitar, processed or not, which would tip me off as to a Seefeel influence.
If anyone else has heard this, clues, pointers, tips, etc most appreciated!
