yup, i posted a mini-review a week or two ago on this disc. it's really
nice, and i'm not just saying that because he's my ex-roommate and he
namechecked me on the insert :) again, the music is tonic for those who
lament the melodylessness (?) of recent IDM output.
it also has to be the most aurally punishing CD i've heard in a while, and i
don't mean simply distorto-aggro either: l'usine is all about giving the
tweeters a workout right up to the specified limits of your loudspeakers.
i think i made mention of this before, but the next isophlux (protocol) will
feature a l'usine remix on the flip. jeff mailed me a CDR of this track,
and it's a strange one: glitchy dnb-informed weirdness underneath a
gorgeous ambient soundtrack.
too bad the isophlux site is so criminally underdeveloped (dead links
a-go-go). . .some RA would be very nice.
