HAT is super sequenced glitchery from Hosono (of YMO), Atom Heart,
and Tetsu Inoue. Now the funny thing is, you'd at first think
something described as super-glitched might end up "experimental"
or edgey. Well, somehow the trio (a masterly bunch they are) has
turned things around and made something totally lush and worldly
out of ultra-chopped up noises. The disc comes with little
postcards from different parts of the world. And the songs
themselves, damn, lemme just say this disc is going with me
to Hawaii this spring. The first track "Arizona Analyzer"
features some killer twang-age Spaghetti Western manipulations.
Tetsu admitted in a recent interview to being a predominantly
deconstructive or just plain destructive influence when
collaborating with Atom Heart on releases like Datacide or MU.
But with AH also focusing more on sample cut-up techniques these
days, well you can imagine the crazed levels this one reaches.
And it does all this while remaining totally musical.
Give them Diasydiscs a whirl!
