Dean is known for his work with Clock DVA, TAGC, Sector & most recently Nohno. Kibuka provides an outlet for the more beat driven and anti-social side of the artists' personalities and stylistically it draws upon Dennis' earlier work with Clock DVA and early Sector.

Nevertheless, this is quite a good record. Mon, 13 Jul 2009 23:58:00 GMT http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_anginap_sf.htm Solidly composed and very mature, something that which is lacking in similarly styled recent recordings by other authors and in other labels. If you like melancholy, jazzy, melodic IDM-type music, and want to hear that occasionally mixed with power noise for some reason, then you will enjoy this record.

The only complaint might be that after the first few listens it isn't memorable enough, but then it's so enjoyable and rewarding when playing that it's clear repeated listening is the only advisable course of action! Mon, 13 Jul 2009 23:58:00 GMT http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_wakeaweek_lbc.htm A fitting tribute to the great great scientist and man that was Charles Darwin and to his work - a fine piece of modern ambient electronica, offering greater rewards with deeper investigation and enquiry. Why not make this album part of the soundtrack to your research? Mon, 13 Jul 2009 23:58:00 GMT http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_mandelbrot_e.htm It is a sad thing, indeed, when such unheard levels of homogeneity within one genre are reached that a compilation CD could very well pass itself off as one artist's work. "United Vol II", the latest label sampler from the German NoiTekk label, manages somehow to pull this off, though.
