Kim Cascone - Dust Theories download free

The first two tracks, entitled "Dust Theories 1" and "Dust Theories 2",offer some bizarre experimental aqua-sonic sounds. These sounds are slowlyenmeshed into a world of quirkiness and short incomplete samples. At timesthere is a feeling that your feet are wading in a small stream, only to seeyour feet wet in sound. At first the samples do not seem to fit smoothlyinto the music. This tends to make the music rather unpredictable, but thatdoes not indicate a negative sounding album. There furthermore seems to be astrong sense of chaos, which tends to enhance the unpredictability that KimCascone has placed upon us. A few places show some signs of wanting to breakinto something collectively ambient, but eventually continues on itsunpredictable path. There does not seem to be much change within the firsttwo tracks. Totaling 40 minutes together, both tracks remain ratherchallenging to those who listen (preferably with an open mind).Track three, "Edgeboundries 123", uses similar sounds, but with a fasterpace. The samples sound more like they are being used in "hyper" mode,creating a microcosm of tiny structures. There tends to be more of aconsistent base as opposed to the previous two tracks, however the chaosstill remains to some degree. This track is much more experimental sounding.Track four really takes off. Again, the samples remain similar, but thistime Ben Nevile re-mixes "Edgeboundaries 123". There seems to be anemergence of a beat and more grooviness to it. Less experimental and moredefined in the way of music. Electronically heavy in nature, this is themost pleasing track on this album.Track five, remixed by DJ4'33". This is a rather soft drifting ambient piecewith some sonically bizarre samples that build and flourish within thistrack. The minimal synth provides a working background to allow the busysamples to collaborate and unite into something magnificent. It is journeywith a nice distortion of reality.
