Totally forgotten comp from 2000, last copies; reduced price. "International artists from clubland, popular and sonic art fields choose traditional hymns and anthems from around the world to create a unique album of adventures in beats, textures and melody, straddling the worlds of dub, techno, funk and electronica. Includes tracks from Kit Clayton, Add N To X, Vladislav Delay, Kreidler, David Toop, Osymyso, Benge, Matrix, Freeform, Farben, Puppy and more. Hmm is not only a showcase for some of the best cutting edge electronica artists from around the world, but is also a provocative and evocative landmark creative project with a unique angle."

"25 year old Mark Nicholson enjoys anything subversive and quirky, and his release under the pseudonym Osymyso is a cross between B-boy electronica and Japanese TV commercials. His releases, including his most recent on Spiky records, have won him friends in high places -- including Mary Anne Hobbs, Richard Fearless, and Mr. Scruff."

"3rd LP from Douglas Benford (other efforts: 1995's Nuisance and 1997's Behind You, several singles for the Suburbs of Hell/Sprawl labels, at least one a collab w/Scanner) full of catchy micro-global orchestrations & tweaked electro-beat landscapes, executing all the moves you've now come to associate with creative post-dancefloor production. Recklessly eclectic & therefore completely worthwhile. Kudos." -- Hrvatski. Last copies, reduced price.

"Fourth album-length selection from Simon Pyke (subtitled 'Created for livesets, between livesets, and after livesets. Recorded between December 1995 & November 1997') after a (holy) triumvirate of such for the Worm Interface and Headphone labels, in addition to 12" singles & comp tracks for Skam, MAS, Warp, Sprawl, MASK, V/VM, Law & Auder, and WI (effectively earning him 'poster boy' status for the IDM underprivileged). I've been raving about this fucking guy for years now, and other than 'Oh yeah, I saw his Skam EP for sale last month for like forty dollars! I almost bought it...', few seem yet smitten. Listen: no one merges the 'serious/academic' electronic circuit with ass-friendly rhythmic/bass grit like this guy, not even Autechre, and although this may not be the CD to fully convert you, you owe it to your soul to at least investigate WHY this is an important cultural breach. Seminal." -- Hrvatski.

"Unlike other remix albums, Chinese Whispers is a cyclical recording remix project, but with NO original track to begin with. All the artists participating had no idea who they were remixing. Samples arriving anonymously. All they were aware of was who was involved, who those audio snippets might be from. Stereolab provided the original bits to start the ball rolling, and nine remixes later were given the final samples from the last artists's track back, to create their THEIR final track. Confused? You won't be when you hear the music: it ranges from skanking big beat to funky electro jazz to drill 'n' bass tripped hoppy disco amazingness." Other remixes involved: Sons of Silence, Ultramarine, Mike Paradinas, Freeform, Slang, Bedouin Ascent, Si Begg, Subtropic & T-Power.
