Electronic music is electronic.

Steve Moore - The Henge [2007]

I don't think I ever really liked Zombi too much but I remember I wanted to.  This is a pretty cool record and it's one-half of Zombi.  It's mostly keyboards and synth and stuff like that but it has a pretty different sound altogether.  There's drone and ambience and horror-sounding stuff that could be in the soundtrack for a movie like Resident Evil or Blade or whatever.  Some of it sounds like it's from the soundtrack from the game Doom.  But uh, yeah...it's good in it's simplicity.  He takes a little bit and make it into a lot, and a varied lot at that.

Gregg Kowalsky -  Tendrils In Vigne [2007]

This is a really short piece by Gregg but it's interesting because it's the actual graduate thesis he submitted while in college.  It was supposed to be made just on a computer but he composed it so that 25 other people would perform it.  I'm really impressed with it and I think it's cool he decided to release it.  It's a one-sided LP but since there were only 300 copies pressed and Gregg is getting pretty popular, I doubt I'll pick it up if it hasn't sold out yet.  Shit probably cost more than it's worth anyway.
