Hopefully, that's what we accomplished.
This comp is as fine an intro to electronic music's research & development as I've heard. It's a near-exhaustive educational tool beneficial for neophytes who think this music began with Warp Records, the Belleville 3 or Kraftwerk, or for jaded oldsters who somehow overlooked (or, more accurately, couldn't find the works of) these seminal composers. Ellipsis Arts did a stellar job both sonically and graphically with OHM.
