Japanese experimental label.

“cubicfabric is a new sub-division of Cubicmusic, and they start their new side-dish with a compilation. The main focus lies on presenting artists that are somewhat well-known via their own releases but do not belong (yet) to the top ten of the glitch ‘n cut scene.
Z.E.L.L.E., Aero, Tu M’, Motion and Alejandra and Aeron represent the European/US side and Minamo (the band who is behind this label, I think), Tosjimaru Nakamura, Masahiko Okura, Yoshio Machida and Kazumi Namba the Japanese side of this CD. I know, I said glitch ‘n cut, but that was just to quickly put them in a corner. In fact not one of these artists belong in strict rhythmic corner, as the overall idea behind these tracks is a rather austere sound world. Aero has a simple piece of sine waves moving along each other, but which works well.
Yoshio Machida works with sound processing of his steel drum, maybe this is one of the more odd-balls in this collection. Another one might Minamo themselves who do an improvisation on guitar and electronica, which sound, at least, in this collection, quite traditional. High pitched excursions are to be found in Z.E.L.L.E.’s piece and of course the no input mixer from Nakamura. Motion and Kazumi Namba are the only ones from the warm laptop ambient circles.
In all a small variety that is offered in maybe a limited context.
But for the very well imitated, there is a great deal of very nice music to be discovered here.” (FdW)
