Enhanced Gravity is a delightful hodge podge of music and interactive Cd-rom elements. The music like most compilations hits some nerves, scratches some itches in very gratifying ways and also in places contributes to earwax build up. The first track by Chris Cutler and Bob Drake sounds like a tag team dentist operation on a bear which is a good thing. Faust seemed to have released a racoon in the kitchen and recorded it. Amy Denio and Jim Bennet seemed to have enjoyed bath time together and from this we all may benefit. The Diledadafish track would fit right in at Epcot Center's evil twin as theme music for some ride in Hades. The rest of the music was less memorable. The Cd-Rom component was a real treat and they have utilized this medium to great affect. I've never seen or heard anything quite like it which is difficult to say about anything these days. A real delight and I'm addicted to Amy Denio's remix radio. The music, and cd-rom, and packaging are top notch and very handsome. I am pleasantly surprised to have stumbled upon the yucca tree stump.

Those Dada maniacs behind the Diledadafish project are back with this simply wonderful compilation. Presented in an exquisite digipak, we get nine tracks and a very fun multimedia portion, all of which can only be described as dada. Chris Cutler and Bob Drake contribute the first track, "Absolute Gravity". Hard to described, but heavily reverbed collages of noise and found sounds, and probably some processed samples here and there. Has an old school industrial feel to it. "Against Absolute Gravity", by Faust (yes, that Faust). Guitars and other natural instruments mix with a percussion section that sounds like it consists of plates and dishes, very cool. "Partial Gravity" (by Amy Denio and Jim Bennett) is another strange one, found-instrument tribal percussion mixed with processed strings. Diledadafish contribute "Comparative Gravity", one of their more serious sounding tracks full of dark synths, odd voices, sporadic percussion, etc. Good as always. "Horizontal, Or Good Sence", by Noble Gas, is almost conventional by these standards. Middle Eastern sounding percussion loop and rather calm, mellow synth work. Kind of "electronica" in spots, but still too twisted to be danced to. "Wit", by Un Drame Musical Instantané is another weird one, strange sounds mixed with piano and jazzy horns. Very hard to describe in words. "Comparative Levity, Or Coxcomb" by Pointless Orchestra is rather calm, chimes, ambience, gongs, etc. Really good. "Partial Levity, Or Pert Fool", by Laurie Spiegel, is more of a mix of new age with ambient. Has that ethereal quality of new age, but not quite the pretense behind it, very gentle and nice. "Absolute Levity, Or Stark Fool" by Steve Horowitz ends the album on a strange note...conventional drums, guitar, synth, digeridoo, and various dialog samples. Once again, wonderfully strange. The best way I could sum up this compilation is "weird". And this is coming from a guy who's heard lots of "weird" stuff and thought nothing of it. So in a way, it's the ultimate compliment. Totally dada here, from just the sound of the tracks to the strange multimedia portion. You think you're adventurous dear reader? You think you've heard it all? Get this CD and you'll probably be proved wrong. High recommendation! (Creaig Dunton)
