fridge/sevens and twelves/output/2cd don't know if fridge is idm, and i'd rather not care than go thru' that thread again (see idm faq q. 1.), but the 1st track "anglepoised" is 15+ mins of blissful languid aphex twin vs slint in dub confrontation. not really radical in any way except maybe the understatement w/ which its simple minimal patterns uncoil over (a v. long) time. nice bell(sound)s too. bookending this at the end of cd1 is another long track "sequioa", which is a slow bassy thud w/ a simple but affecting violin melody. in between is more psych-prog electro funk, ambient guitar trance, and pots'n'pans percussion vs. the bleeping space invaders than y'could shake a stick at. disc2 continues in much the same way. not much overtly electronic stuff. kind of idm w/ real instruments in the sense of red snapper, and now squarepusher. more evidence of rock (w/ the emphasis on the trance/space/post end rather than say aerosmith) than in either of those tho'. so if mutant jazz post rock on live instruments is your thing this might be worth checking out. -martin
