Review by tine Jul 12, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
An absolute winner in the field of digital wonders, fearless Alku did put this disc out containing computer data files all transformed into sound. With a list of who is who of 2001’s European computer music, my favourite is the file were V/Vm have scanned music-mag The Wire’s front cover image of Scanner to see if the music sounds as pretentious as Mr. Scanner does. A milestone in computer music, nothing less.
