Disjecta is Mark Clifford from Seefeel and the two releases on Warp have a kind of dark and scary feel. My favourite is 'Looking for snags'; it seems to fit together better than 'Clean pit & lid' and I do find it quite scary. I remember someone on this list told a story about falling asleep to LFS and remembering really fucked up dreams when he woke up (or was it me??? :-\) Disjecta has those repetitive tunes that can really get on your nerves if you are not familiar, but in fact create most of the mood of the track. I also find this the case for a lot of Seefeel. Artwork's also totally mad for both LFS and CP&L. Global Goon - 'Goon' is a mixed bag album with some crazy ideas in it. The first track has an odd rhythm and then a lovely melody, and then some bloke starts trying to sing out loud what sounds like a prospectus for a university or something. Other tracks have heart-meltingly smooth chords and tunes, which really are the high points of the album for me. Basically the album's a bit out of the ordinary IDM stuff and my opinion is that it's well worth getting. Later... -Ed
