Interdimensional Transmissions US レコード& CD

Review: Detroit Grand Pubahs and UR member Bileebob goes it alone here on some superb Interdimensional Transmissions. 'Stars Cross' layers up gurgling bass and slapping hits with icy hi-hats. It's a rugged electro workout that becomes more lively when served up as an instrumental. The always good value Derek Plaslaiko then steps up with a remix that is more tripped out and laced with manic acid. Last of all is the quick, caustic electro-tech of 'Network.' It's a sleazy tune with plenty of raw Detroit authentic and dance floor clout.

Review: For Erika's second album Anevite Void, she explores her live process as it permeates everything she does, including documenting the process of life in the elaborate sci fi mythology she created. Erika began performing live in Ectomorph in 1997 when she was gifted a TR-606 by BMG and asked to join the group. This grew to her building her own studio, performing solo as Erika, collaborating with people like Jay Ahern and Noncompliant, and performing as a member of Circle of Live. Anevite Void finds Erika organically writing songs for her live shows, allowing them to take shape through performance, and later recording them in the studio, making this the first album she has entirely written and produced on her own. Mixed by long time collaborator BMG, she finds this record as the launching point for a new process; conceptually, it was inspired by "the irregular life cycles created by three suns circling over a planetary organism that presents two major biomes: rocky crystalline desert, and deep layered forest, each of which exists above and/or below ground, depending on what phase the suns are in."

Review: From his early days in Le Car to last year's smash 'Flesh And Bone' with The Hacker, the music of Ian Clark has been making an impact for over a decade. Perspects on Interdimensional Transmissions is his strongest music to date. With his unified Peopleskills concept, Perspects shares new directions and ideas. This is demonstrated by his heavy vocal presence (sometimes in a Bryan Ferry/Brian Eno sort of way) and the incorporation of live drums into his sequenced sound, hinting at a whole new sound and approach. Available on 12 track double vinyl with lyric sheet (featuring one track exclusive to vinyl), and 13 track CD (featuring two tracks exclusive to CD).
