this is possibly my favorite electronic album... it's just freakin amazing... seems to mix the best parts of Autechre, BoC, Aphex Twin, etc into one nice pot... some points on this album sounds like BoC, others like Autechre freaking out... it's killer stuff definitely...
it beats out anything by Aphex Twin easily in my mind, and it has a more playful feel to it then anything by Autechre which I like... it's playful in some places, yet nice and seriously beautiful in others... I don't know, this is definitely one of my favorite electronic albums around, if not my favorite!
What does everyone think?

hehe, I finally heard the Tron sample... the killer melody in the first song is from Tron... the movie was on last night, and I flicked to it and there was the song... so cool, sets a great mood!! :)

Jega is the man - I wish he'd hurry up and bring out some music, because Geometry is, how do you say, the shizzle my nizzle?

I have it but hardly listen to it. So much to chose from. What I have heard sounds really dark and glitchy. I think i'll give it a whirl soon

great album!
heard the previews of his tracks on the Skampler in warpmart a few years ago, then bought Skampler in first instance for Jega alone.
then had a listen to 'geometry' in a store and was blown away - mostly initially by recursion, by the way.
also check out Mike P's remix of the track 'geometry' on "the cosmic forces of mu" compilation. doesn't seem that different at first, but really groes on you.

I need to get my hands on some more Jega - The only other album i can possibly get a hold of is Spectrum - how is it?

Not my favorite by any means, but does have some cool tunes on it. Syntax Tree, Motion Math, Inertia, trk #13 (can't remember), etc.
Love the artwork, especially the stuff on the inside.

Very nice album with some top notch tracks on it: - Recursion - Post Mid Arc - Doric
Surprisingly one of the first IDM CDs I bought in my life.

IDM is self destructive, like any form of psuedo-experamental music.
Geometry is a great album.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention! I listened to a couple tracks a while back and thought sneh - now I'm giving it more of a listen and loving it.
The way the pitched bits are part of the rhythm is very aphexy, as opposed to the idm approach too often taken where it's like, here's the hard raspy bits, and here's the floating detached melody.

Rumors : Variance will feature multimedia content (read music + video).
off topic: also, in a special issue of the french trax magazin about Warp, Plaid said that their next album will use surround techniques... I heard that Richard Devine is also using 5.1 for his recent compositions ( he scored a film ? ). Well any comments of any nature appreciated.

My God, is there anything a Nord can't do? You can get phat analog sounds, tinkly FM sounds, you name it.
I'm gonna try making a track with nothing but Synth1 which is a VSTi Nord emulator.

not really a rumor, as Jega himself has said so several times.
