hi everyone... i can't remember if there was much discussion about bitcrush's 'enarc' album when it came out (i could be wrong of course!) but i'd definitely recommend his new downloadable release on en:peg (n5md offshoot) called 'shimmer and fade'. it's got less synthwork and more instrumentation than 'enarc', plus more vocals, but they aren't at all 'intrusive' and add to the feel. i've had trouble listening to anything else, 'waiting for something' is an amazing track, absolutely beautiful strings at the end. i'd describe it as a more 'grown-up' ulrich schnauss (that's in no way a slight to herr schnauss btw), a logical extension of that sound. i know a lot of people love ulrich's music because of the emotion in it and for me 'shimmer and fade' evokes the same feelings. check it out at http://www.enpeg.com/releases_template.php?catno=15 cheers, nick --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

I thought that enarc was pretty good stuff. Nice crunch, etc... Reminded me of Phonem in some ways, which, for me, is definitely a compliment. I'll have to check out the en:peg stuff. Does it follow more along the lines of the hidden track at the end of enarc? Also, does anyone know whatever happened to Phonem? I mean, seriously, I LOVE that guys stuff. Just perfect. He was also involved in the Spike project on Beta Bodega with... PBO (although discogs says it was just Phonem)? I really wish they would have done more than a 12". Anyway... time to strap on the headphones. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Does it follow more along the lines of the hidden track at the end of enarc? yes it does, especially the guitar/string influences. you can listen to samples of 2 tracks from 'shimmer and fade on the en:peg website (strangely these are the 2 most non-idm-ish tracks) but the whole thing is only $2 in any case. highly highly recommended!

Thanks for the reccomendation -- bought that and the Proem EP. $4 total! If you like Bitcrush, check out his work with Mike Wells as Gridlock, especially _Formless_. This made some idmers' Best Of 2003 lists and definitely deserves the kudos. I had a revelatory listen to this album driving through the salt flats of Utah over xmas, but one could probably achieve a similar effect with a just good pair of headphones and some dark-room sensory deprivation... -- - Eric Sorenson - Explosive Networking - http://eric.explosive.net - --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
