Nothing is a large American recording company associated with the man who signs his checks as "Trent Reznor". Normally, Nothing is distributed via the Interscope conglomerate, but these licenses of some of the most desirable releases on the Warp Records UK label were evidently considered a bit too risque for the traditional American network. Some people say that Nothing derives it name from its thoroughly lackadaisacal non-output of announced IDM titles (domestic releases by Squarepusher and Autechre were first rumored close to 2 years ago), but with no real advance warning, here is the first batch at attractive American prices. Throw your leather pants into the wash for a minute and say hello. RE:
Vic Acid
: "The second post Stereotype/Rumble/Spymania/Worm Interface/Rephlex effort from one Thomas Jenkinson, aka Alroy Road Tracks/Chaos AD/etc., following
Port Rhombus
. All of the jam-session-with-Billy-Cobham aesthetic remains in tact, only this time Jaco sits out, favoring the tabletop version of 'Centipede' in the corner. There's a certain present affinity for the summer of love's 303-as-god sound, applied in droves on such Jenks classics as 'The Barn' (303 Kebab)' and 'Fat Controller' (G7000 Remix). Centering in on the sort of post-rhythm-as-rump-shaker manifesto he decidedly goes for later on." --Hrvatski. Re:
Big Loada
EP: "Higher IDM quotient than previous releases (audible in the melancholic swirls of melody-sound), but with the stick-tub-amp ratio on full. The indecipherable voice overs (notably, MC Twintub's 'Contribution' to 'Full Rinse', sure to bring a tear to Conrad's eye...) and overall blown sonics succeed in leaving your scalp more than agitated. More Amen/Lyn/soul pride grappling than allowed by Federal law. Much denser and more ear-pleasingly brilliant than previous efforts." -- Hrvatski.

INTD 90258
The fifth album from Manchester's duo of Sean Booth and Rob Brown is Autechre's most detailed and insane collection of electronic specification. Number crunching at a new fully realized peak, sledding past the masses of insignificant humanity at an alarming rate. Some people have been waiting their entire life for just this album. Referred to as
LP5
in the UK, America will have to just deal with
Autechre
. Exponentially the next step from
Incunabula
,
Amber
,
Tri Repetae
& and it's most significant forebearer,
Chiastic Slide
. One of the records that will define 1998. [now packaged in the US in a lame b&w generic sleeve by the laughable Nothing organization]

INTD 90277
"The long awaited 2nd album from Ed Handley & Andy Turner, formerly of Black Dog. These techno innovators again set out for parts barely-known, fusing acoustic and electro, lush harmony and disconcerting discord. In parts ranging from symphonically grand to meticulously intricate. Features guest vocal work from Björk, Nicolette (Massive Attack) and Mara Carlyle.

"Full length number four (counting the recent
Burning'n Tree
collection of Spymania-owned sounds) for Tom Jenkinson under his 'Squarepusher' aegis -- issued domestically only one week after Warp's release in the UK. Totally eschewing the concept of tempoed linear composition, Jenks brings us an assortment of not-completely-un-Miles-like space-jazz sound-scapes (with TJ playing the DeJohnette, Zawinul, Holland, AND Macero roles without flinching, or developing carpal-tunnel syndrome) via multi-track recording technology and scattered computer post-processing. No breaks. No drum programming. Unreal. An amazing turn of events proving Tom to be a fairly proficient swordsman in a variety of post-prog-jazz roles. Likely to turn rave kids onto
Sextant
-era Herbie or some such wonder. Mental." --Hrvatski.

INTD 95039
As with most red-blooded facsimiles of human life, it's hard to fathom Autechre music being released on Trent Reznor's Nothing label. Even Cleopatra could conceivably be better. And it's not like it's even a penny cheaper than the Warp version. But I suppose the possibility exists that Trent himself laced up one of his leather boots while stepping on
your
copy of this release, so line up and take your chances. It will never taste the same again. This Peel Session features 3 previously unreleased tracks -- 25 minutes of music. Originally recorded on 10/13/95 on John Peel's UK Radio 1 show. Track list: "milk dx"/"inhake"/"drane".
