Yes there were many a kind word posted
about the first three Underscore cdr
releases that came out last year. In case
you missed them they were:
. Cex: cells cdr (Underscore 01)
. Temp Sound Solutions: 8-bit cdr (Underscore 02)
. Terrahertz: first smoke cdr (Underscore 03)
I did recoreviews of all the above underscore
releases but i can only seem to find one at
the moment:
. Cex: cells cd (Underscore)
Cells, the first release on the new Baltimore, Maryland-
based Underscore label. Cex is the project of Underscore
label head, Rick Kidwell. Raised on aphex twin, em:t, and
the idm-list, Cex creates thirteen tracks of pretty original
idm that sounds like a combination of the source, compost,
schematic, and irdial label sounds. I know that's a pretty
general statement but the style on this album is difficult
to put a label on. Maybe mix a little Vulva, Elfish Echo,
Peter Ford, Beanfield, Jeswa and Mariopaint and you'll
have an idea of the sounds here. Cells one of the better
idm albums to come out this year and that if you get a
chance to hear this album i encourage you to do so.
Underscore is a label to watch. 9/10
And coming soon from Underscore is the start
of their Shift-Minus 7" series of releases. The
first two are:
unsc001.
side a: cex
"blearily wonky rock lad"
side b: cex remixed by colongib
"at least one unwilling...(at least i'm not made of tin mix)"
unsc003
side a: kid606
"i'm just another cool cat out looking for a kitty"
side b: kid606 remixed by chris coady
"silver egg (silver ovary mix)"
