Advantages: Chilled Out Slightly Disturbing Stuff
Disadvantages: Me Ranting About Vanishing Point

...Record label says that "The Campfire Headphase has already achieved critical acclaim to rival its predecessors. What defines this album from previous work is Boards' desire to simply make a melodic, beautiful record. Playing out like a road movie, The Campfire Headphase is a dense and intricate collection of music, immersing the listener in kaleidoscopic swathes of spacious live instrumentation and trademark isolated chords of sound. Here, Boards ...
...of instruments, all of which they played themselves" but what does all that mean???????? Take "Chromarkey Dreamcoat" with its loop of a heavily treated with electronics acoustic guitar played with some slight violence, backed by swooping and burbling synths, and a hip hop drum type thing going on, is a prime example of what this album has to offer, relaxing, atmospheric and ever so slightly disturbing. Whilst a lot of electronic music can come across ... Read review

Advantages: Eclectic and ground-breaking
Disadvantages: Some complaints of dodgy vocals (I disagree)

...I was so pleasantly surprised. From the Double Gone Chapel is much darker than anything else of his I've heard but not in a teen-angst sort of way; It's more pensive. The opening track "Stack Up" actually brings to mind a moden day Frank Zappa in the way it experiments with sound and rhythm and the addition of guitar riffs on several of the other tracks really does it for me. Guitar-riffs? Don't panic electro lovers; there are plently of industrial ...
...have heard a few concerns from others regarding Weatherall's dodgy vocal talents but can reassure you that they are misplaced. The atmosphere created by his growls on the primarily vocal track "Punches and Knives" is perfect and chilling and on "Kamanda's Response" they complement the track superbly. All in all, I'd highly recommend this to anyone; old school lovers, techno lovers and indie lovers alike... ... Read review

Advantages: good album with funky techno beats in a mellow mix
Disadvantages: good album but a bit on the wierd side.

...newer electronic sounds, and "A Word of Science" did just that. The duo's classic debut single, "Dextrous," was a bleepy dance track built on a see-saw synth line and skeletal beats, but "Aftermath," a minor UK hit when it was released as the follow-up, integrated stuttering soul vocals with honest-to-god breakbeats. The full-length continued this evolution, moving from the orchestral soul of "Nights Interlude" to the Emerald City disco of "A Case ...
..."A Word of Science" connects the dots between the rap nation and the rave massive with as much style and humor as has ever been done. I will say gofor this cd but i would proberly put this down as a third or forth item on the list. ... Read review

Advantages: Unique, elegant, dreamlike
Disadvantages: Tracks 2 and 10 are flawed

Incunabula was the first album released by Autechre in 1993. As an interesting side note, Incunabula means "swaddling clothes" in Latin. Sean Booth and Robert Brown, a.k.a Autechre, are true masters of electronica. Much like Richard Devine, Mira Calix, Datach'i, Venetian Snares and Squarepusher, these guys expand the clichéd genres of I.D.M (Intelligent Dance Music) and electronica in general. Incunabula is the first of 15 others works by Autechre. ...
...the same musical vision. Incunabula is like a swaying drum in a Jazz suite; it is vital. This album is composed of 11 tracks, which amount to a staggering 78 minutes. The cover art was put together by the Designers Republic. Kalpol Introl is a 3-minute dreamlike foreword to Autechre's creative concept. It is typically progressive; big steamy piston-like sounds hissing in the background with thickset drones humming throughout; unadorned... but ... Read review
