As usual Lance has done an uprecedented job! id also like to reccomend the basic channel compilation, which for me is one of my favourite cds of all time... IMO even better than the Porter Ricks (and i love the porter ricks!).... If you are looking for other stuff of a similar nature.. which doesnt have a porter ricks or basic channel connection i can reccommend : Rehberg & Bauer : FaBt on Touch recordings TO:32 Ryogi Ikeda : +/- on Touch recordings TO:30 (this is INCREDIBLE!!) Phillip Jeck : Loopholes on Touch Recordings TO:26 Steady State Music : Wieland Samolak on Imbalance Recordings ....this one i think may actually have some basic channel connection..... .... i heard at the time that it was Wieland Samolak and Basic channel but this was never confirmed... anything by 'Final'... which is Justin K.Broadrick (Techno Animal/Godflesh) but this stuff is hard to find.. all of these reccomendations are very experimental! they dont as such sound like basic channel (but what does!!).. but are i think coming from the same direction and use a similar array and philosophy of sound and noise... however beats are pretty scarce on the above mentioned.. so beware!!... but then i always liked the beatless (or almost beatless) BC and PR stuff best.

Imbalance Recordings is an experimental sub-sub-sub-label of Basic Channel. they've released several CDs and 12"s, most of which are damn near impossible to find. one is a compilation of Andy Melwig's (the other half of Porter Ricks) Async Sense recordings. in an interview for MUZIK, proto-legend Manuel G?ttsching actually commented about the quality of the Weiland Samolak album ("it was very, very experimental. i think that [Maurizio] has a good feeling for sound, a good feeling for producing music."). i don't suppose that recommendations could come any higher than that. G?ttsching... wow! can anyone suggest sources for the Imbalance Recordings disks? i know that the most recent title has been fairly easy to find, but what about these older catalog titles? Hardwax? anyone have a FAX #? anyone heard the recent Terranova/G?ttsching 12" on Compost? thoughts, comments?

>anything by 'Final'... which is Justin K.Broadrick (Techno >Animal/Godflesh) but this stuff is hard to find..

... especially his Solaris recordings, both on his label, Lo Fibre, and on the Michigan's own Alley Sweeper label. i think he just released another LP (as Solarus) on Release, too. i'll add one more, too easily overlooked because it's unlike anything else on the label: v/a: Silver World (Soup-Disk JP). this compilation is, quite simply, extraordinary. some of the most gorgeous experimental music you'll ever find. the disk is divided between six artists but retains a remarkable consistency. e-mail me if you'd like a more in-depth review, because i'm not sure whether or not it's 'cleared' for public posting. some of the _Silver World_ artists have also contributed to Touch/Ash International's _Chiky[u]u_, the first (of three parts) in a series of internationally-oriented experimental compilations. Japan's entry also features Aube, MSBR, Tak++, and others - all harnessing the sounds of natural objects and locations for their superb, subtle compositions. exquisite. the 2nd (American) entry, _Scatter_, includes such mainstays as Daniel Menche, Jim O'Rourke, and Earth - along with Kevin Drumm and John Hudak. less delicate - considerably more abrasive, but still uncommonly good. have you ever gotten up in the morning and thanked the Heavens for the existence of labels like Ash International? please tell me that i'm not alone. might we also sing the praises of Aube's excellent _Starred Gleam_ (Iris Light UK) while we're at it? sure... why not. cheers!
