Involution - involution (Tone Casualties) Involution is Cevin Key (Skinny Puppy, Download) and Paris (from Christian Death). I have had this disc for about 2 weeks now and I am still very impressed with it. It is really subtle. The intricacies do not fully reveal themselves. With each new listen I hear something new. Think strange textures, odd loops and minimal design. It all works so well. At times, I want to compare it to autechre. Mostly because certain tracks create minimal landscapes through simple haunting melodies while relying on strange percussion/noise to propel the track forward. Yet it doesn't sound anything like autechre. I would have to say for the most part it has an ambient feel. Great listening in the dark. Very hard to describe but recommended. For those that care, there are no vocals present. if your not into experimental idm stay away. -daniel

another list memeber brought up a point which I think I should clarify. When I said experimental idm I meant adventurous not noisy. From recent discussions I can see the confusion. If it is noisy I would label it as such. Though I do believe that something can be adventurous and noisy. In this case involution is simply adventurous. -daniel
