Varied vocals, combined with sounds from genres like EBM, Electro and glitch beats, showing how modern electronic music can sound like without denying their roots. 3. Psychedelic rock band from San Diego. A 2LP set exists, uncovering the story and 1968-69 studio/live recordings of this obscure outfit. Touted as "the second Brain Police" by hopeful dealers, the connection between the bands was marginal. The informative but longwinded liner notes refer to the band as a power trio and Hendrixy, but in actuality this is a pretty low-key, latenight bluesy club affair for most part. Some tracks have an Ant Trip Ceremony ambience, others are a bit like the Metromedia Christopher. Their rare 45 is included and one of the highlights. The packaging is unusual and appealing but maybe this one should have remained a standard format single LP. 4.

Part of the Mia Kat Empire family. 5. framework podcast from resonance104.4fm. phonography/field-recording; contextual and decontextualized sound activity. framework has been on the air since june, 2002, featuring regular editions of new and old field recordings and field recording based composition, live on-air performances, and special editions such as framework:focus, which features the work of a single artist, project or theme in a continuous hour-long soundscape, and framework:afield, a series of programs curated and produced by guest artists from around the world. 6.
