> $ 9 -- Neotropic - "15 Levels Of Magnification" UK CDEP (Ntone) 1997
> [Original, 4 remixes (Arcon2, SFWS etc.), 3 bonus cuts.]
I HIGHLY reccommend anything produced by Riz (ie, Neotropic, and Small
Fish With Spine...)
This stuff is not what i would call 'ambient' but it is some of the most
amazing music ever put together - it is Singular
15 levels is quite a piece of work; semi-trip-hop rhythms with quite a bit
of weirdness thrown in, and bits and pieces of broken beats and jazz.
Brubaker's Strawberry Alarm Clock I like even better - its pretty over the
top but is a bit harsher that 15 levels (which feels sort of nicer on the
brain) - it also has a weird 'retro' feel to it that I am at aloss to
explain. I dunno how she does it.
And Small Fish With Spine is my absolute all time favorite piece of music
ever. I am not even going to try to describe it - you'll have to listen
for yourself and make your own judgements :)
I would definitely snap this up, except that I've already got it on vinyl
