RE: [microsound] ensemble

I just ordered their CD 'Sketch Proposals' on Rephlex.

Kent Williams (kent@xxxxxxxxxx) posted this to the IDM list a couple of
months ago, which got me so interested:


--------------------
Ensemble -- Sketch Proposals (Rephlex CAT101)

Rephlex is a label that by turns amazes and frustrates fans.  For every
Bogdan Raczynski there's a DMX Crew (or Like A Tim) -- brilliant state
of the art stuff contrasted with prankish silliness.  It's like they
really don't give a fuck -- which is interesting with respect to 
using conceptual art as a business model, but annoying when you've dropped
your entertainment dollar on something that's unlistenable.

All is forgiven when they give us something as musically emotional involving
as the new Ensemble record.  Ensemble seems to me to pick up several threads
in electronic music and fuse them into something wonderful.
