Just picked up something this weekend that will probably fit the bill: Christophe de Babalon's new 2x12", "If you're into it then i'm out of it," or something to that effect. Most of it is distorted drum'n'bass, on the more "experimental" tip, if that means anything at all these days--distorted & dark (but not as "brutal" as Panacea--more subtlety), and with lots of texture & nuance, & lots of non-signature-d'n'b elements as well. It's not at all formulaic. the a-side, also, is just one track, one very long track of murky ambience & anxious soundsculpting that's quite amazing (for anyone that knows--is this what Scorn is like? It's what i imagine it to be like.) can't go into more detail, 'cause i've only given it a couple listens so far. but i wholeheartedly recommend it, if any of the above descriptions tickle yer fancy. relentlessly phil oh yeah, and a question: heard a (new?) mick harris d'n'b project on the radio, although i forget the name of it now. how is this? it sounded pretty good on the ol' car stereo.
