Making its way to the shops this week is the CD issue of the nowlegendary 12" single originally released (and reviewed) back inDecember of 2000. "Sign" has got to be one of my favorite 12" singlereleases in the last few years, with a B-side that clocks in over 36minutes.

Trawling in mostly sonic experimenters and improvisers from theManchester area, this CD-R compilation offers a partial window on thenoises being made at regular events such as Rotations andaLECTRO_eCOUSTIC throughout 2001.

Music

This Sub Rosa compilation brings together five artists working withelectroacoustic drone and is perhaps chiefly notable as the firstreappearance of the hibernating Main in quite some time, but all fivetracks will quite likely appeal to fans of Robert Hampson's laterrecordings such as the "Hertz" and "Firmament" series.

Music

Possibly the most consistently good series of electronic musiccompilations over the last two years has been the Bip Hop series out ofFrance. Each disc features musical contributions from six electronicartists from all over the world. The accompanying booklet gives a briefbio, selected discography and website/contact information. Thistechnique is arguably far more effective in introducing new acts thanreleasing something to the effect of a triple CD set with one song fromeach contributor and fuckall for background information.

Music

Most modern dub just doesn't do it for me. Ditto most straightforwarddance floor music. Put the two together and it shouldn't fare too muchbetter, right? Well, strangely enough, I'm pleasantly surprised howmuch I've been nodding my head while this disc spins.
