I totally agree with Brap's review. The new Crank cd is
outstanding. It has the perfect blend of creative idm
and dark atmospheres with just a hint of experimental
chaos. In places it is somewhat like the phthalocyanine
releases but no where near as crazy. Think more along
the lines of "atmospherics-era" james bernard mixed
with the Lustmord vs Metalbeast stuff. The cd has
twelve tracks including one remix by phthalocyanine.
The full tracklisting is on the phthalo label website

In case you didn't know, Crank is the work of Danny
Zelonski aka Low Res. Low Res will have another
new cd out on Plug Research in a few weeks called:
Approximate Love Boat - Mistaken alien interpretations
of earth music. This fourteen track cd is another idm
gem that you will all be cooing over very soon.
Full recoreviews of both the Crank and Low Res
cds coming later this week.
