Tal's Snappy Stuff piles a loads of old-time samples onto a sporadic mutant-jazz-form, while Benge's "Dream of Dreamy" heaps an equally dizzying amount of surreal musicality into its rhythmic and yes, sometimes dreamy, wanderings.
Rip-Off Artist tells a supposedly "Real Scary Story" by way of perky beats, blips and samples woven into a softer bed of electronics.
The pounding rhythm of "A Tasty Choreographer" by Multiphonic Ensemble receives a multitude of other percussion hits during this fine bit of exploratory drum'n'bass ('n' xylophone) musicianship. Bisk takes a "Walk Along the Road Avoiding the Puddles", yet another quirky sample-beats-electronics excursion.
"Untitled 2" from Ensemble is a collection of shifting oscillations peppered with rhythmicated grit, eventually breaking from its pattern and disrupting into strange electronic explorations.
Xylotones and horns are speckled are with digital detritus and other half-heard musical entities as Richard Thomas stirs up the ghosts of some long-forgotten tiki lounge with "Asa Nisi Masa 2". A happily churning cycle locks into its groove and rolls through "Coucy Pack Démoli" by Tone Rec/To Rococo Rot entering a fizzier mode before closing; synth pads, cymbal taps and odd bits of blips and voices also appear.
AtomTM slips many weird sonic events into the slower, more spacious seconds of "Sort of Rhythmical".
Scanner comes in with a deep, pulsing bass and hypnotically wavering electronics in previously unreleased piece, "Autopilota: Close Landing". The danciest moments come from "Ring Modulation" by Bump & Grind, a spritely, though nicely grungified, bodymover. Freeform's "Lego Bine" creates a semi-spooky mood as it struts through an electron haze. Calla's angsty whispers are heard over bass and guitar, marking "Traffic Sound"(3:05) as the most Rock-oriented track, though still wafting in an ephemeral vein.
