I picked up a nice piece of IDM today... Faultline - Closer Colder on Leaf,
I liked the reviews on the CD sticker and have wanted to check out this
label so I took a chance and am very glad I did! Noisy (mostly) slow beats,
quite dark at times, change suddenly in tempo, tone and volume, a nice
contrast to sweet melodies of both electronic and lots of real instruments
too. Distorted jungly basslines appear in a few tracks as do a few
interesting vocal samples. The last track "Partyline Honey" is great, more
of a regular trip-hop beat I guess I'd say with a distorted pad, sleazy
telephone vocal samples and harmonica. Nice hidden ambient track at the end
too.
I've given this two listens and it looks to be going onto my best of 1999
list!
Happy New ear
John
