SND - 00009 A.1

First track on SND's Stdio LP. (Mille Plateaux)

Originally released back in 2000 on Mille Plateaux, this second album from SND saw their sound slowly, gradually evolve to embrace a more swung variant of minimised percussion. With a focus on tight, held-up, fogged-out rhythms on their debut, listening to this album the first thing you are struck with is the sheer scope of its dimensions....the rhythms are no longer contained in close quaters - things have been opened up, freed, like a dense fog clearing away. There are discernable, seperated sounds, soaked in a special warmth that, at times, manifest themselves in chiming, almost housey keys and the unmistakable shuffle of UkGarage. Listening to 'Stdio' exactly a decade later highlights the vision and influence of SND, and whether you're into the academic minimalism of Raster Noton or the percussive flex of the whole Future Garage scene - you just owe it to yourself to check this out. Classic.

Even though it's simplistic, it's also complex. A rarity amongst music.
