One could imagine Autechre’s music as a lumbering, semi-amorphous creature cannibalized and synthesized with parts from electro, hip-hop, industrial, noise, free jazz, and plain old experimental music.

Broken Circuits :: Standing in Ruin EP (Errorgrid)
For a 4-song EP, Standing In Ruin bowls in and punches like a double album by Dimmu Borgir.
Joachim Spieth :: Terrain (Affin)
There are no sharp edges here, merely rising and falling tones, hillocks and nooks where sound pools and swirls, eddying slowly before being released into the ether.
Ben Frost :: Broken Spectre (The Vinyl Factory)
All the tracks work in this manner under Frost’s deft hands, wielding the synthetic against the recorded organic to reveal the dark cost of our destruction of the natural world.
POLe :: Tempus (Mute)
Tempus ambles along a certain path, not overly evolving, nor cohering to a decisive end or climax.
Burial :: Streetlands EP (Hyperdub)
Burial shows he’s unafraid of forging ahead even if it strays from his hits. This is aural cinematography created by a master storyteller working not in words but in sound itself.
Kool Keith + Scorn + Submerged :: Distortion EP (Ohm Resistance)
Best listened to on headphones to enhance the feeling of being in a dank basement lit by failing fluorescence that hints at monsters in the darkness.
Stephen Mallinder :: Harmonic Parallel
In this interview Chang Terhune spoke with Stephen Mallinder about many things like his latest album Tick Tick Tick (Dais), his past work, the passing of Richard H. Kirk, his current role as an educator, as well as the future of Cabaret Voltaire, and much, much more.
Mouse on Mars :: AAI (Thrill Jockey)
Mouse On Mars, however, deliver not a cold, robotic, digital album, but a living, breathing record of their experimentations and perambulations in and around the subject of technology and its growing impact in our civilization.
