Has anyone heard the Siskol release on Phthalo yet? How does it compare stylistically to the releases as Vladislav Delay? Also, is the CD on Chain Reaction in a similar style to the 'Huone' 12"? I thought it walked a balance between the out and out techno of the Max Ernst release and the beatless (well, no boof-tss-boof-tss :) material on Sigma Editions and Mille Plateaux. Definitely looking forward to the upcoming 12" on Sigma Editions as well (especially now I've found a place I can buy them domestically :) Michael np 'A Book of Human Language' - Aceyalone -+- Jet Jaguar MP3s http://mp3.com/jetjag/ -+- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

The new Sistol cd on Phthalo is definitely more like the Vladislav Delay 12" on Max Ernst & Freunde (i.e. on the abstract percussive techno side) but dont take that as a bad thing. On the contrary, the intricacy of the drum programming on the Sistol truely sets it apart from any other minimal techno-esque release in recent memory. On the other hand, the new Vladislav Delay cd on Mille Plateaux, called Entain, is very much in the style of the Ele cd on Sigma Editions label - deep spacious amorphous experimental ambient music. The Vladislav Delay material on Chain Reaction seems to combine elements from both his spacious experimetanl ambient material as well as his more rhythmically-based tracks producing deep spacious rhythmically complex tracks. Another recent Vladislav Delay project worth checking out is his remix on the recent Autopoieses remix 2xlp on Mille Plateaux. On this mix Vladislav combines a deep amopheous ambient soundscape with the disjointed digital processing of the original Autopoises track producing the impression of random digital noise bursts slowly swirling down the drain in a wash of warm chords. In interesting mix. Regarding the Huone 12", I've been looking for that one but have not been able to find it here in the states. I'd be interested in hearing how that one is as well. Also I too am eager for the forthcoming Conoco 12" on Sigma Editions. Who knows what sound he will undertake on that one... -->-Lance--- lance@inaudible.com p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

this album is absoulutely brilliant and i STRONGLY reccommend it. acey's work is very (sorry, i hate to use this word) cerebral. his rhyme patterns i can describe only as a more intelligent and diverse hiero style- very west coast yet unique- but the content matter of this album (and of the majority of his work) is very original. in "the book of human language," he expounds on different concepts, each of which are "chapters": the guidelines, the balance, the hurt, the walls and the windows, the faces, etc. the beats (courtesy of producer mumbles) are real nice, often going outside of the normal 4/4 structure of most hip-hop- there's a lot of stuff in 6, a song in ten, etc. a lot of jazz samples (mahavishnu, bitches brew, etc.). this album is DEFINITELY worth your attention as it is- in my humble opinion- IDM for hip-hop. *i apologize to you IDM purists (who have made their presence known- you know who you are) for this relatively off-topic post. if you are mad at me, respond privately. don't waste other people's time!!!! zachary zim200@is7.nyu.edu --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
