Need to plug a couple releases.. I've been playing si-{cut}.db's "Rate of Living" on "repeat" mode today as it continually propels itself into area's i never thought IDM would enter: Weird & mysterious sounds, melodic bits and pieces of chaos, and an ultimately smooth yet coherent piece of work to date. Sounds range from synthesized electronica to dubby-jazz extracts and odd twitches of abstract (almost live) drum's pouncing in several directions with subtle ambient spurts here and there. Check out http://home.earthlink.net/~efrans/benford or http://www.dfuse.com./sprawl/ for more info on related Sprawl Imprint discography/projects.. ((International release date is July 12)) On the other side of the platter, a good friend of mine (David O'Toole) has just released a cdr-ep under the alias Antarktika. I'll be playing another one of his cuts on Friday's show called "Miskatonic", but stay tuned for a review of his latest cdr (Grooves Mag) that is self-titled, and currently out for tender. The sounds on this four-track cdr-ep are an ambient extraction into high-fidelity electronica. Smooth construction, crisp IDM melodies, and ambient tones for those armchair listener's. I'm really excited about this release, and hope to hear more news as David's music reaches distribution and possible signing. David can be reached at xxx@xxxxx.xxx.
