haven't digged this one a lot yet, but I think phoenecia
are one of the best electronic band of the last 4 years.

their first album was great and the odd jobbs remix where
very nice too

Yes, yes, yes.

I just said those exact words yesterday.

It's a fantastic album in my opinion.

Yo folks,

What's this album like? Could you provide some sort of
description, no matter how abstract? What are similar
artists etc.?

Like drukqs, I've heard it but wasn't interested enough to
give it much play since I'd rather hear other things. This
is the distinguished schematic, phoenecia are even the label
creators I think... it has schematic intricacy/detail/depth,
practically a linear tone throughout all the sounds though
as I recall/no melody. I need to listen to it again. (that's
what I did recently with drukqs and still wasn't very
impressed- imaginary fantasy makes better stuff/melodies
with even more minimalism. some of rich's previous output
has been absolutely supoib though.)

OMG. you haven't heard anything by these two unless you've
heard their 96 LP under the Soul Oddity alias entitled 'Tone
Capsule'. Who else thinks that THAT is one of the most
amazing electronic albums of all time? And who can name
something that sounds even remotely like it? Tripped out,
squishy, arcadia electro-alien funk that will never go
stale. Eat it up! It's on Astralwerks.

I havn't heard that but i've heard randa roomet, and so far
think it's better than brownout... even though it's
simpler/more macroscopic and digital. It makes complexity in
a more organized way than squarepusher's random drum
pasting, more with chaotic but definate and changing loops.
(like black dog bytes sorta)

aaaah, brownout is better than randa roomet (although that
one is good).

everything shakes and chaves and peeps and boops..

yes siree bob, Brownout is one of my fave records
ever..........its hard to describe except expect organic,
twisted beats without a hi-hat in site..

..i've mixed this with Squarepusher, Autechre, kid606 and
RDJ and all my other faves...it's the best non-rephlex /warp
braindance i've heard and its from the US of
A!!!.............
You like Oval, >[], Devine, AFX, authechre....you'll fucking
LOVE phonecia!
