Pole

Anyone listened to much Pole? Or similar artists like
Thomas Brinkmann?

Crazy ambient-dub stuff originating out of Germany. They
take the sounds *in between* the beats and notes, and make
this extremely surreal minimalist electronica comprised of
clicks, whirrs and pops.

Some of it is so soft you have to turn the stereo up full
ball with your ear against the speaker just to hear the
different layers.

Never heard anything like it before...

Yeah I love it. I especially like Jan Jelinek. His record
"Loop finding Jazz Records" is at the top of that genre in
my view.

It's really hard to get into at first, because it sounds
like music with all the music taken out, witth just
background noise. But after a while you notice that it's
very layered and quite interesting.

To make something good out of such miniscule resources would
be *damn* hard...

Accrding to a few sites I've visited Pole actually invented
the genre and it's known as "Glitch".

Quite a suitable name :)

Try Thomas Brinkmann as well. Not quite as good as Pole imo,
but it's interesting because most of the samples he uses are
from vinyl, so they sound very raw and different.

Hard to explain, but you'll get what I mean when you hear
some tracks :P

Yeah, I've got Pole - R on vinyl. IMHO, it's his best work
to date. It's almost groovy. The remixes are incredible
too.

Some grade A shite.

yeah .. i ended up getting it, as the cd was reduced by 40%
in the local store as no one was buying it .. pretty cool ..
still got my eye on 3 tho .. (thats on 20% discount at the
moment, just a matter of time before it gets the 40% sticker
i'm sure). :)

Kit Clayton's mixes are quite cool for a bit more of a
upbeat sort of feel - dunno if i'd call it their best tho ?
mmhh..

pole is ace! ive been obsessing over his stuff for the past
4 months. ive got pole - 1, 2, 3 and R. id go with 3 as
his best release, but R is right up there with it.

again, if you enjoy pole, try jan jelinek and his other 2
aliases Gramm and Farben. top stuff.
