1-cut begin
sample cd bits autechre style
8-amendment 84
reminds me of the excellent short tracks off plaid/not for threes, perhaps
even one of the tracks off bytes, but a bit wonky
9-helix shatterproof
industrial grindings
10-a newer beginning
12-polarized beam splitter
scifi sound effectsesque
17-inter
perhaps what the internet might sound like, hum harmony suggesting large
magnitude with lots of little sounds, clicks and sparkles, packets being
routed about
18-r m i corporate id 1
19-pricks
menacing, uneasy, subtle background harmonics, same sort of percussive
sequence repeated, morphing
23-devil
ear clearing whooshes, sampler looping little sections, refreshing
24-is we
mad freestyle percussiveness, much madder than 'anti', think squarepusher
26-dan dan dan
beautiful looped pad with spare bass, fits perfectly after the hecticness
of previous track
30-le shark
ruff distorto beats, laid back stylee. loop these with your md player, nice
37-1d shapethrower
really lovely high frequency harmonics, like rays of light through a
crystal, but faster
38-shoegazer
harmonic soundscape, big space, SAW2 mixed with seefeel/plainsong
39-vermin
42-hemiplegia 1
43-mcdcc
cool evaporating sounds, or 'singing chip fryer conveyorbelt'
44-gortex
45-alf sprey
46-interchangeable world
49-cranusberg
very SAW2, icy and cavenous
52-raindance
53-horse
bass and vocal sounds, about two seconds long, someone _please_ needs to
make a whole song from this little snippet, with a laid back beat
54-new contact lense
ovalesque clicks and whine
55-of our time
very much like oval
56-crepe
60-wab wat
61-mc
the sound of a spectrum game loading
62-peel
63-i g e
64-knutsford services
very low rez, atonal, thru headphones the stereo positioning messes with my
head
65-fully
SAW2 esque ambience
67-squashed to pureness
staticy noise, very sharp
71-yo! dmx crew
very warm ambience, sounds like something thats been slowed down a lot
72-go on
73-stroyer 2
74-
track name on md: Mastered by Denis Blackham @ Country Masters 18/03/98
76-shep
77-langue
78-poke
82-hemiplegia 2
83-territory of usage
85-tomo
processed phone call, coughing
87-r m i corporate id 2
88-PT/AE
hum, buzz, 'yeah!'
Overall impression: not very Autechre like, similar noises but a lot more
ambient. With regard to IDMness I dont think you could really dance to any of
it apart from 'le shark', but thats not hard since its basically a collection
of drum loops. it took me a while to get into it, but as with most stuff,
repeated listens reveals a lot more
I dont think I possess a release quite like this, and I find it enjoyable to
listen to, so by my reckoning its very good
BTW: I noticed the sound of the disc playing- the physical mechanism of the
machine working- and its quite rhythmic in itself, ch-ch-ch-ch-trrrr. none of
my home recorded discs sound like this when being played (apparently pre-
recorded and rerecordables are constructed differently). player: sony mdsje510
