"Andrew Duke is one of Canada's foremost techno/new electronic music sound-assemblers. He has been performing live and recording his own music since 1987. His output has been compared to that of a wide range of artists Thomas Brinkmann, Kit Clayton, Coil, Oval, Skinny Puppy, Lustmord, Reinhard Voigt to name a few -- yet always presents a unique and distinct 'Andrew Duke sound'. Sprung is organic, wet sounding techno that skitters along a range of frequencies, from scurrying subtleties to low pulsing rumbles, each brushing different areas of the sonic spectrum."

Title:	Consumer vs. User
Label:	PHTHALO
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	PHTH 040CD

"Consumer vs. User is Andrew's first appearance on Phthalo. It is a focused study, filling out unlikely accent schemes with abstract DSP techniques. The aesthetic is semi-derived from something reminiscent of classic Detroit minimal techno (I think of Terrence Dixon, Kevin Saunderson, and early Plus 8 stuff like the stark, controlled acid bass stabs of Heinrich Tillack aka Sysex). I also however hear our label, Phthalo, embedded in this work, particularly references to the extensive exploration of heavily processed, raw, beaten-up drum machines given to us by O.S.T. and Phthalocyanine in the late '90s. These ideas work here as the point of departure for a music that is meticulously arranged and much richer in variation than vernacular minimal techno, though much more 'moderate' than O.S.T.'s work."
