MORCEAUX_DE_MACHINES || liberum arbitrium

few acts are as relentlessly bombastic as MORCEAUX_DE_MACHINES, érick 
dorion & aimé dontigny's composite noise juggernaut from hell. but it may 
just be that nobody understands the profound tenderness of their 
compositions. to the discerning listener, these expert streams of 
cut-&-paste madness form a fantastic environment ripe for the most delicate 
discoveries. noise? who hears noise? only if you're not paying attention! 
of course, this new CD most definitely kicks ass from start to finish. what 
else to expect from the folks who brought you the frantic _cosmothérapie_? 
in _liberum arbitrium_ they set up a cosmic death match between heaven & 
hell & it's not likely to be taken for a pastoral... 8 seriously twisted 
improvisations that push computer music to its limits! says the all-music 
guide, it's "a serious contender to best noise album of 2002." we didn't 
make that up. you know you've been waiting for it. well, here it is.

(completists take note: érick & aimé wanted to keep their CD punchy & to 
the point, so they left a few songs out from the initial recording 
sessions. two of these outtakes were already featured on the 
_cosmothérapie_ release, but as a gift to their fans, & for the sake of 
completeness, the duo is offering 2 more tracks not found on the CD through 
our special  _liberum arbitrium_ page. so if for some reason you're not 
happy with the choice of tracks, feel free to burn yourself a customised 
version with the songs you like best!)

CAMP || socialiste

a long threatened release, the new _camp socialiste_ is now available for 
your perusal & reconstruction. if it seems complicated at first, read 
again. the premise is simple, but the result is not. an exercise in 
interlocking asynchronous loops based upon samples from no type all- stars, 
mixed up with a fair amount of chance operations, the result is quite 
recognizably CAMPesque, if somewhat more jagged than normal. but that might 
only be temporary, because the composition is open & someone might just 
find a smoother way to perform it. of course, another might find that it 
makes too much sense, & infuse some madness to the proceedings. we have no 
idea how it will end, do you?

RAMON LLULL || ramon llull

DICK RICHARDS is a wanted man. & yet, inbetween all the touring in chic 
european cities, hanging out with expensive minimal techno stars while 
working for the prime german labels who treasure his genuine funk & 
basslines of illicit depth, he still finds the time to hang out with us 
lowly, uncool no type dudes. but here i am mentioning dick richards, when 
this is RAMON LLULL we are talking about. now, ramon llull is serious about 
ambience. it has to feed off the walls, & build up into an architectonal 
scripture of sorts, whereby what you hear is the pushing up & down on the 
wave form itself. now, maybe we're reading too far into it, but it sounds good!

SINE FICTION featuring JAMES SCHIDLOWSKY || vol.III) the shockwave rider

initiated in 2000 under A_DONTIGNY's impulse, the SINE FICTION collection 
continues to expand with a third volume by no less than no type's new man 
in charge JAMES SCHIDLOWSKY & a fourth volume coming up on the next update. 
finally, one might say, as this constitutes the first online entry for 
james since his no type debut _previous>>next_, & the first with all new 
material. SINE FICTION, if you remember, is a collection of mini-albums 
inspired from a given science-fiction book. in james' case, the book of 
choice is john brunner's _the shockwave rider_, a tale of information 
technology gone bezerk. places & situations of the book are thus adapted by 
our composer who has made a point of dabble in things he doesn't usually 
do: the results are a stunning example of james' versatility. it might even 
make you want to read the book!

OCTOPUS INC || subcon sound museum

it is one patent injustice that we still have to introduce OCTOPUS INC 
despite two CDs of luminous beauty released on kracfive, the label he has 
founded with his friend colongib. noah sasso might be an enigma to some 
simply because he is nearly impossible to genre-peg. not only does he never 
do the same thing twice, what he does never sounds like anything you've 
heard elsewhere to begin with. vague reference points to weird electronic 
acts from köln or california do not even begin to describe the magic. 
_subcon sound museum_, his first no type release, exemplifies this. five 
tracks of lush collages, structures of texture that are full of detail & 
bristling with life. don't wait; revel!
