Autechre, Exai, Warp Records

instrumental electro warped, obliterated, immaterialized and spat out, without a hope of time measure. Somewhere between experimental techno-experimental and mere randomized tones. Was recorded in a vacuum in the Matrix. Any sense of cohesion glimmers, fleetingly. industrial music for cyborg giraffes

1-(4:51) synthetic, alien, electric almost tech-spasming 'idm'
2-(10:01) atonal techno. ominous
3-(4:20) harsh noise punches over hacked loops
4-(4:14) soft synth waves over confused drums. slow.
5-*(6:43) chopped squelched, and twisted lounge
6-(6:43), 7-(3:40)
8-(3:40) clearer, possibly random
9-*(12:20) most song-like on album (not saying much)
10-(7:18) experimental repetition, maddening
11-(8:40) alien church music noise
12-(4:35) chemical reacting in an integrated circuit
13-(7:06)
14-(10:13) plodding; bubbling shiftsand
15-*(5:27) first track with pained vocal samples. an excercise in expectation.
16-(9:22) destroyed pipe over regular drumline
17-*(8:24) ambient; techno that lost itself
