Just got two excellent new releases from the Mille Plateaux/
Force Inc/Position Chrome/Ritornell label collective. Here are
the infos on each + some comments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
If you think glitchy electronica is just pops, clicks, skips,
and stutters then this compilation is one that might actually
change your mind. If you are a fan of glitch, then this will
be your compilation of the year for 2000.
. Clicks_+_Cuts comp 2xcd/3xLP (Mille Plateaux/MP079)
CD1 Tracks:
- Frank Bretschneider: kern

- Goem: comp vier
Overall, a truely amazing compilation. A marvellous mix
of experimental/abstract techno, electronica & ambient with
a suprising amount of melody mixed it all heavily laiden with
the pops, clicks & skips that defines the glitch sound. This
comp features beautiful tracks from familiar glitch artists like
noto, komet, snd, farben, brinkman, dettinger, goem, neina,
voigt, panasonic, vladislav delay, and pole as well as impressive
tracks from artists not previously known for sed style like sutekh,
curd duca, kit clayton, jake mandell, kid606, and panacea. If I had to
make one small complaint it would be that I would have liked to have
also heard contrabutions from other glitch artists like Oval, Ryoji
Ikeda, Kohn, Minit, Shuttle358, Tom Steinle, Novisad, & Cathars
but even without those producers this is still a superb compilation.
Fans of any of the producers on this comp or the ones i just
mentioned will adore this compilation. Highly recommended.
Release date: mid January 2000.

Jake Mandell is a well-known name on this list for his excellent
releases on labels like Worm Interface, Lucky Kitchen, Kodema,
Carpark, Pitchcadet, and his own Primedeep label. He's tackled
a variety of styles on his previous releases ranging from idm
to d&b to experimental ambient. Now, for Quondam Current,
his first album on Force Inc., Jake adds deep techno to his
portfolio.
. Jake Mandell: quondam current cd/2xLP (Force Inc/FIM-1-036)
Tracks:
- emulsified ossature
- circumscrubed
- enchanted philter
- tectonic shifting
- jabot
- happiness is a honeydip
- red auscultation
- knolled troll
- acicular spicula
- airlocked brow
- chrome plaiting
- rubber rock
- coney island (instant brownie mix)
(Supposedly the vinyl version has an exclusive remix by Stewart Walker but I
have the cd version now so I cannot comment on that mix now.)
Havent given this one enough listens yet to give a thorough
review yet but my early opinion is that Jake's intricate
programming is still pervasive but backed with deep 4x4
percussion instead of polyrhythms or hip hop beats
producing a very rich deep techno sound. Imagine what
a a stewart walker or maybe john tejada collaboration
with Jake Mandell would be like and you'll have an idea
of the sound of this one. Very good stuff.
Release date: late January 2000
