I saw the following on ForcedExposure's release list, >and while it isn't exactly what was questioned, it may fit the description >(notice the collaborators). [I'm not sure what to expect from this baed on >MillePlateaux's normally abstract descriptions, but his tracks on _EL5_ >were fairly good d'n'b type stuff.]: >>MATSUNAGA, KOUHEI: Upside Down CD (MP 54 CD). "Matsunaga is one of the >>first Japanese artists to make a CD for Mille Plateaux. The 22 year old >>student of architecture in Tokyo produced also under the name of Mou for >>Electric Ladyland compilations and performed in Japan with Audio Active, >>Roni Size, Panacea and many more. His first album contains also >>cooperations with Japanese noise & electronic artists Merzbow & Masonna. >>The album is characterised by the idea of taking noise back to the music >>and demonstrating the brutality of ordering sounds into music. Upside Down >>is neither pure industrial nor desktop music. The sound archives include >>virtual sounds, which are not physical, but also physical sounds like the >>human voice and traditional instruments. The music is floating the brittle >>beauty of gloomy virtual and physical sounds, seems to begin nowhere, seems >>to end nowhere. Music without center. A dense forest of reflections, cleft >>mountains of a very special musical imagination." $15.00
