I've dug his stuff since he sent me his first few releases a couple of years ago. He has his fingers stuck in a few different styles (his cassette releases, for example, tend more towards the abstract noise end of the electronic spectrum), but I think his album for Invisible is the pinnacle of his work so far. It reminds me of all the best bots of Coil and Autechre mashed together. And I agree that it was somewhat of a turning point for Invisible. Previously, they only had three or four releases that I would give the time a day, but they've been batting at least .500 since then. > Though I've yet to hear it, there's a DVOA / Not Breathing release > out that I believe involves the two remixing each other, which I > imagine must be quite a listen... Yup, it's pretty nifty alright. Dave and Mark compliment each other very well. I always prefer Mark's collaborative efforts, anyway - it's like he has lots of great ideas, but needs another person's input to get them in focus.I think he recognizes this as well since most of his upcoming plans involve other people. kGreg np: Download "III"
