The collaborative debut from Oval's Markus Popp and Mouse on Mars' Jan St. Werner is a profoundly groundbreaking, wildly experimental exploration of digital reductionism. The record consists entirely of remarkably subtle, highly atmospheric textures built from skipping CDs, intentional digital errors, and deeply manipulated synthesizer warmth. The remarkably challenging, completely beatless recording firmly established the fundamental aesthetic boundaries of the 1990s glitch movement.
