「FORCE INTEL」(フォース インテル) 第一弾!
Remixには、Kettel, Richard Devine, Julien Neto, Machinedrumを収録

ジャンル : IDM/Ambient
Artist : Sabi / kiyo
Title : 71:36

Simply beautiful 🙂 The softest, smallest things require the greatest precision and execution.There is a lot here to choose from, really enjoying the wide expanse of atmospheric ideas explored. I will most def keep this in my rotation for use and listen to it for personal enjoyment as well. In addition to my top selected track Micropsyche (Richard Divine Micromacro Remix, I would also choose Bear In. Warm-Noiz (Noor Extended Version)and the very nice Noor (Machinedrum Mountain Eye-Beam Remix)- Tones On Tail is very cool as well 🙂

Description from the Press release –

“Proudly introducing: First CD on new label and Mille Plataux derivative FORCE INTEL.
Why another label? Well, we received many great demos not experimental/artful enough for MILLE PLATEAUX, but just too good not to be released. The solution was FORCE INTEL, our new label for Intelligent Dance Music (IDM).

*** Great IDM / Ambient album – Remixes by Kettel, Julien Neto, Machinedrum, Richard Devine ***
Sabi (aka Taro Peter Little) and kiyo (Kiyoshi Ono) are two long-standing producers in the Tokyo electronic scene, but hardly recognized outside Japan so far.
71:36 is split in 2 halfs: Ambient IDM with a rather organic feel in the first 5 tracks by SABI. Here, the epic SLEEPY EMERALD is totally standing out. HOWLING OUT… (Kettel Remix) could be a soundtrack to a science fiction movie, you can almost see a new sun being born in the skies over a future planet earth.
The 2nd half has the KIYO tracks and sounds much more electronic. While tracks 6, 7 and 8 are best described as Glitch Ambient (or is it Ambient Glitch?), tracks 9 +10 have a beat.
Great IDM, with remixes by some of the finest IDM producers around.”
