The cut - copy - paste of the unessential
sound fragments
that have been identified as the ungenre of clicks &
cuts, take on a new element of maximizing their
potentials.
The break beat becomes the platform for new perspectives
and interpetations. Whether it be the twisted
sonic assault
of NYC's High Priest Of The Anti-Pop
Consortium, DJ Spooky
and his unique conceptualizations, Vladislav
Delay and the
ghostly vocals of Antye from Laub refabricating
r'n'b, Spectre
of the illustrious Wordsound label
shape-shifting the crackle
of a skipping record with free flowing beats and ambience
to the digital electronic genius of alva.noto
(aka Carsten
Nicolai) precise usage of sine tones, Fullclip's soulful
click-stepper and Safety Scissors timba-beated
opus. Overall,
Electric Ladyland aims to infect and persuade a growing
movement with one of Mille Plateaux's most
accessible releases.
EVER.
