EM - GREATER THAN ZERO, LESS THAN ONE (CD by The Foundry)
About a year ago, the Foundry started as a label, and among the first output was the moniker EM (or eM). From the releases so far on this small label, the first EM was by far the most interesting and challenging for the ears. Now here's the second EM CD and uses solely computer data, translated by means of the computer into something that is called music. At times partiulary noisy, but also ambientesque soundscapes. There is a sense of remoteness on this album, sometimes that is out of place... not there yet... something that makes this album necessary for repeated listening, before one could say it's very good or very easy made. I have played this a couple of times, and I could never make my mind up. Uneasy listening for sure, and should definetly please the fans of Disinformation or Panasonic and everything in between. (FdW)
