Nakamura, who's been making quite the name for himself on various
netlabels (Zymogen, Digital Biotope, Play-Code, ...), can certainly be
relied upon should you be looking for avant-garde sonic investigations.
"Strange Animals" is made of curious harmonics
that were meticulously assembled through what i would guess are alien
Max/msp or Reaktor patches. The tracks' structures are at first hard to
identify as most of the rhythms are quite unorthodox, until (in some cases)
a more familiar rhythm manages to put ongoing sounds in a new perspective.
Other tracks show an equally glitchy approach to sounddesign and do not
fail to present the listener with the most peculiar soundenvironments.
If anything this release is not easy-listening, but the execution of it
all is interesting, original and entertaining. I for one will continue
to watch mister Nakamura as he steadily continues his path towards glitchmastery.
