Robert Babicz released a album on Mille Plateaux earlier this year called MoMente (MP57). I remember listening to it when it first came out but i ended up not getting it. Previously Robert recorded mostly hard techno, acid, and trance under his Rob Acid, Triple R, and Department of Dance guises. Actually, Robert did do some ambientish stuff on the Recycle or Die label under the name Dicabor. Other labels Robert has recorded for include Labworks, Disko B, and his own Junkfood label. Here is Hrvatski 's writeup on the Babicz MoMente album: "The first solo album of Robert Babicz on Mille Plateaux. Babicz, better known as Rob Acid and Dicabor, is label owner of Junk Food Records. His new album blends innovative electronic music, from the beginnings (musique concrete and Cologne electronic school) to contemporary electroacoustique methods. The music is also arranged in the point of intersection between electronics and techno. MoMente is a successful musical body, which is something of a unique singularity that does not erase the trail of hetero- geneity but follows and multiplies it. Most of the tracks are bringing back a spontaneous feel to electronic music by building up a musical body rather than on the mere execution of implemented features and pre-installed presets. The music contains gentle sounds but also bizarre soundsculptures. It is Babicz's musical diary of the last 3 years." Others have described MoMente at: "very wide static soundscapes w/ crackling spheric noises" "Rob Acid - innovative electronica and strange, imaginative ambience" So there you have it. -->-Lance--- xxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx xxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states
