Omnibot & Kid 606: Unamerican Activity cd (Vinyl Communications) Of the Vinyl Communications stuff, I thought the Kid 606 - "Don't Sweat the Technics" full length blew the Omnibot/Kid606 split out of the water... one of the most enjoyable fully electronic discs I've heard in quite some time (maybe someday I'll post a review). The Lesser - Welcome to the American Experience disc is really, really nice as well... I thought the Omnibot/Kid606 had a little too much testosterone... worth the $4 it costs though. I'll also second someone's recommendation of Electric Company - Studio City. Phenomenal album. But all this stuff is pretty tame - there are worlds of noisy as fuck electronic music that rarely if ever get talked about here. Some other recommendations: The Ant-Zen label - ie Imminent Starvation (stupid name, decent music), PAL (highly recommended), Noisex, tons of others - nothing I've heard on that label has been anything less than great, but you must enjoy the sound of metal being destroyed in 4/4. Chrome folks - panacea and techno animal are both well worth your time, especially Techno Animal's "Demonoid" 12" on Grand Royal. Might want to avoid early Techno Animal however... Alec Empire - "the peak" is a must hear V/Vm is excellent DJ Spooky - "Synthetic Fury" is astoundingly good later Third Eye Foundation releases (early ones are noisy but in a much more shoegazery way - all are excellent if you're into that type of thing) Muslimgauze - Jaal Ab Dullah; maybe Syrinja although it's not as militantly noisy. I've heard Farouk Engineer is pretty brutal too, but I don't know for myself There are many others who escape me right now... --- the humble abbott arthur purvis set his hand hereto
