20.)oelgac
21.)das kostet musik
very weird (yet quite wonderful..) collection of 'musical' pieces each
containing a few samples which are twisted, mutitlated, and transformed
into a collage of instruments and sounds. (some even lean towards the
d'n'b side..) melodies, patterns and rhythms shine through in
unordinary ways. very slick...
artist: child's view
title: funfair
label: bubble core records
cat# bc-022
track listing:
1.)the cradle of light
2.)sabure
3.)pendulum
4.)assi que dodo
5.)after image
6.)sabure (the dylan group's home-baked live version)
all songs composed by nobukazu takemura
best description would be a cross between 1/Tau, oval, u-ziq (lunatic
harness style..), and to rocco rot. yes, it's interesting. the songs
are a bit long (each about 10 minutes..) but are so damn nifty that you
don't get bored. a definite keeper...

20.)intensivstation 5:00 a.m.
21.)motorenstadt (first part)/lichtflut (second part)
22.)outtroduction/short comment on industrial music
all songs composed by patrick stevens. {a.k.a. hypnoskull, sonar,
noshinto, sona eact(r)}
self-described as citybreaks and beats for the noise addicts. i'd say
it would appeal to 'fans' of panacea, alec empire and the dhr crew,
trash, v/vm, etc.. if you're familiar with the ant-zen/hymen label
(beefcake, architect, pal, black lung, silk saw, hypnoskull, imminent
starvation...) you probably know where this is going. although most of
these groups are categorized as 'industrial,' they're leaning more and
more towards hyper-tweaked d'n'b. (for lack of a better description...)
there's also a muslimgauze vs. sonar (patrick stevens and dirk ivens i
believe..)CD out if that's of any relevance. anyway, this is a very
noisey, yet very addictive release. lots of material to get your feet
moving. nifty packaging as well...
