Original Instrument is about reinventing language, creating 
a new way of speaking, of transferring ideas and emotions 
with voices into electronically articulated art-forms. Joe 
Miragliouolo, Kettel.Drums Reimer, Octopus Inc., and the 
Colongib collaborate to form "Original Instrument". A piece
of exp.electronic music sculpted by voices & other oddities.

// -- Somatic Responses :: Accidental Happiness (Component) 
www.componentrecords.com

Somatic Responses latest full-length combines gritty industrial 
electronics with fierce drum'n bass mayhem to form a thoroughly 
enjoyable (and dark) album. Electrical spurts of percussion are 
driven through mud while distorted melodies bend and tweak in 
every direction. With remixes by Codec & Dryft this 8-track 
album is well worth the rotation.

// -- Other Animals :: Compilation (Couchblip!) 
www.couchblip.com

What do you get when you combine some of the most respected 
and under-appreciated artists from around the globe to express
their passion for exp. Electronic music? Add to this the fact that
all artists on "Other Animals" kindly donated their tracks w/ profits 
going to the Humane Society International. Take a listen, delve into 
the electrical beauty tucked away & within "Other Animals" & enjoy 
the elegance of rhythm & melody. Artists include Funkstorung, +One,
Bloq, 8-Bit Orchestra, Plod, Fibla, Robokoneko, Disjunction Reunion,
and many more!!

// -- B9 :: Infiltrator (MusicsysteM) 
www.musicsystem.dk

All the way from Copenhagen we see the fresh bass-infused electro/ 
drum'n bass of B9. While each track may have a short running time, 
they are also packed with upbeat electro and danceable grooves
that will keep your brain cells enthused for the entire 51 minutes.
Funk, soul and electronics molded just right. Invite yourself into the
electro-acoustic world on B9's Infiltrator.

// -- El Clon :: Falling Rooms (El Clon) 
xxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx

El Clon's music combines indielectronic ambience to structurally 
intact rhythms. "Sunrise teasing, glowing across the desert, music 
curling out and shifting, returning, leaving tendrils hanging in the 
air to transform visions into textures". This is the sound of El Clon.. 
Spin this CD to discover something new and intriguing in electronic 
music.
