Koji Asano: The Last Shade of Evening Falls (8.1) (Solstice - 2000) - A motherlode (or is that an overload?) of discordant frequencies in this 4-CD set of sprawling noisescapes.
immedia: 2/1 (8.2) (Line - 2000) - Mini-micro-digital soundscapes, like teasing electronic wraiths, make for extremely quiet listening...
Larry Kucharz: ComputerChoral Green Prints (8.3) (International Audiochrome - 2000) - Like of warm, layered blankets, "green" audiocurrents unfold in comfortably familiar surroundings
Psychic Enemies Network: Valis (8.3) (Skin and Barrel Music - 2000) - Enigmatic aural renderings of various eclectic soundforms drift in-and-out of unknown territories.
shuttle358: Frame (9.3) (12k - 2000) - Indefinable-though-alluring soundforms have been reshaped by a process of easy-on-the-ears experimentalism.
V/A: Bloomington Electronic Music Coalition v2.0 (8.3) (Nefarious - 2000) - With a propensity toward experimental beatiness, these various artists bring a little something for everyone to this e-musical meeting.
V/A: Xen Cuts (8.6) (Ninja Tune - 2000) - A lot of music from a lot of people in a lot of variously intertwined forms... like those swinging retrojazz-electronic numbers!
vox barbara: (de)Constructed Ghosts (8.2) (Little Man - 2000) - Strange, electrically-discharged "auras" are captured by illegal "acoustic warfare" software.
