hello.
i fell in love with bedouin ascent also as a result of that track. the
research i've done on mr. biswas (kingsuk biswas, that's his name,
apparently) has turned up only a few similar gems, as he seems to have
switched styles pretty dramatically within the last few years. anyway, they
include:
* his remix of slack dog on the first lo recordings 12-inch, "slack dog
ep"...easily the best thing he's done...just gorgeous. like being beat up
by velvet boxing gloves stuffed with crushed roses.
* the track "tomb of eagles" on rising high's first _further self evident
truths_ compilation. a developing sketch of his slow-but-manic drum
programming.
* his remix of rhc's "move ya," also on _fset1_. similar to the above, but
more melodic.
* the track "figure in flames" on the all-around excellent _further
self-evident truths 3_ comp. this track is amazing. manages to be chilling
and heart-wrenching while beating the fuck out of your head with a barrage
of variously pitched snares and blunt, thudding, falling-down-the-stairs
kicks.
* his remix of coldcut's "atomic moog," which is pretty bland imho.
* a track (under this own name) on the _anohka: sounds of the asian
underground_ comp., which is pretty good...nothing special.
all of these are in that slow, melodic, and melancholic, heavily-syncopated
style of the _mdi_ track, whereas most of his early releases sit in the
shadow of the black dog's first tracks--pretty derivate, extra purposeful
idm. he also has a beatless ambient tune (which is, again nice, but nothing
special) on the second volume of leaf's "invisible soundtracks" (recently
reissued, along with the first volume and a few extra tracks, on cd).
