So what, even after all this time, there hasn't been an
artist able to contend with this almighty album?

After hearing this music, everything else you ever heard
will RETURN to nothing, nothing as epic.
This is CHROMETAPHOR music.
An ATOMONTAGE of tracks.

GRIDLOCK
FORMLESS
great stuff

My review of Gridlock

Here's another perfect example, of how dating music can
underestimate its beauty and importance - a 2003 release on
Hymen that still holds up really well today. San Francisco's
Mike Cadoo and Mike Wells decided to end the ten-year
Gridlock project in 2005, yet Cadoo continued his
development in music and released an acclaimed ambient and
shoegazer album on highly regarded n5MD label (which,
incidentally, he manages), titled In Distance, under his
Bitcrush alias. In Formless, we can already detect Cadoo's
early transformation into atmospheric soundscapes offset by
solid, post-industrial influenced IDM beats, that he has
been perfecting with Wells, along with his drum'n'bass
influences from releases as Dryft. Gridlock even managed to
secure a spot on a coveted Travel Sickness box set
compilation (which I finally tracked down in Spain and
snatched at a hefty price). To me, this is the music that
blends all of my favorite elements, and is at the root of
definition of IDM, even as the term is on its way out.
Highly recommended for collectors who wish to own a piece of
history. RIYL: Beefcake, Architect, Proem, Displacer.
Favorite tracks: Pallid, Chrometaphor, and Displacement
