Some of the best dub-techno available on CD
As a CD collector, I was happy to find this compilation of Basic Channel artists. Yeah, I have a turntable and I like vinyl, but I rarely sit down to listen to music that way, so I end up having to rip to CD before I can do stuff like listen in the car or at the gym. It's just inconvenient....

Brilliant album
This is a brilliant album. The music is minimal. Hard, in the best way. Neither harmonic, nor dissonant, more complex than dripping and clicking, the music is composed from rich sounds and complex rhythms. I was hooked by the first track, Q Loop, which kicks off the album spectacularly. Very...

Essential minimal techno - without poser value
I found out about Berlin's Basic Channel label in 1995, through this CD, which absolutely blew my mind back then - as it does now. The "Basic Reshape" of Manuel G?ttsching's E2E4, the second track on this CD, is the single most astonishing piece of minimal esthetics I know, infusing edgy cold...

It never had a name...
I purchased this album back in 1995 when it came in a tin box. Never knew what to call it, the cd had no info except for the tracks on the back and distorted cover art that I couldn't read. Yet with a little effort I found it. I purchased it when I was 13 only because the packaging looked...

cold minimalism
This a strong record -- it fuses cold cold icy minimalism with industrial approaches to dub -- and it works in quite a unique way.It is fairly uncategorisable -- one moment it sounds like John Cage or Steve Reich's avant garde cold emptiness, the next minute it sounds llike African Head Charge...

i hate the 4/4 thump
Yes - i hate the 4/4 thump that you can hear in the majority of tracks here. Also the bpm is too fast for me - it is just a question of taste. I am a slow person. I prefer music with a more relaxado andamiento. This is why i like the songs of Depeche Mode in their album Ultra. If you have any...

Basic? Yes. Simple to do? NO!
I'm writing this as a music lover AND musician, and my first reaction to this CD was "ok, they have a drum loop run with a few sound effects for 6 minutes and call it a song." Boy was I wrong! The movements, progressions, and, if you will, melodies are on a hypnotic level that is easily missed...

Minimal
The ultimate in barely-there techno. Very minimal but very very very deep too. At first listen its repetitive and lengthy, but thats the beauty of it, such subtle changes in the songs, that you barely notice them before the tracks are over. You can get lost in this cd over and over again.Truly...

Correction!
This is NOT Pole as some user wrote in a review here. Basic Channel was established by the berlin duo Mark Ernestus and Moritz Von Oswald (aka Maurizio)This is an excellent cd of true minimal and detroit techno similar to the sound of many Chain Reaction releases.Highly recommended if you like...

Declick Pole and stuff it down your Rolling Stone box set.
The early work of what's-his-name from Pole. I'm guessing if you've stumbled on this cd at Amazon you already know that Pole have released 4 albums, three on Matador, and one on their own label, Scape records, called R, and it's probably his best.This album shares a lot of the gentle rustling...
