| ***Some of the most listenable and melodic work yet from L.A.'s Phthalocyanine brings slight rave and hardcore flavors to his off-kilter, harmonically "wrong" melody clusters. Like slabs of jazz noise heard through pastoral electronica with waves of gabba and Belgian techno fighting spidery, distorted rhythms and breaks. Phthalocyanine's lo-fi electronic adventuring is dense and massively messy. It obeys its own auto-destructive, scattershot illogic, stuttering and leaking lo-fi noises in a staggering, multidirectional chaos. Crude beat-blasts occasionally puncture the mix. Rhythm clips ricochet off sounds like bursts of small arms fire. Prismatic melodies circle off-pace. Foggy banks of synth noise puff up and seep out across a bubbling swamp of electronic noise, --The Wire The second album on Planet Mu by Dimitri Fergadis 30-second MP3 excerpts: Ethiopian Runner Sewer System Shrapnel Rainbow Energy (Without Remainder) Kenyan Runner Breakfast Beer Thesis Essay Rosemary Hilbert Space Dithyramb Living With Lightning In Your Body Death Frenzy Gunslinger's Death If you have a recent version of iTunes software on your computer, clicking on the link immediately below should open the iTunes application and take you to that album's iTunes page-- where you can listen to samples and buy this album, or individual tracks: Phthalocyanine "No One Said You Didn't" (Planet Mu) This title is also available for download at AmazonMP3.
