The Wire (UK)

Featuring barely-there electronic clickscapes from Tetsu Inoue, Kim Cascone, Komet, Richard Chartier, Goem and Deupre among others, 12k is the latest missive from Taylor Deupree’s new york based microsonic label. This rather good, if a bit wallflowerish, limited edition compilation is strictly for ascetic aesthetes who think that Chain Reaction is all ornamental frippery, Raster-Noton offers too much pleasures and Mille Plateaux is just too straightfaced.
