Le deuxième CD de Dntel chez Phthalo. IDM classique (la plupart des pièces ont été composées en 1994) dans une veine bien «West Coast». Dntel a beaucoup fait parler de lui depuis, notamment avec le CD Life is full of possibilities chez Plug Research, et le premier album du duo Postal Service, Give Up chez Sub Pop. [dt]

[Description anglaise]

After releasing the masterpiece collection “Early Works for Me if it Works for You”, Dntel digs again back into his vault of unreleased backlog to give another collection, this time a concept mini-album telling us a story about a “hero and his arduous quest.” The tracks have the patented Dntel romanticism of melodic themes and a supersaturated drum machine sense moving sometimes into the zone of “war drums.” These are classic tracks originally scheduled for release on a Japanese dance label long ago and since re-discovered by a few L.A. techno diehards who can spot classic work even if it doesn’t have a fancy labelname written on it. The album includes extra Dntel tracks plus remixes by Seq, and L.A. artist Languis.
