Album Notes

WARNING: This CD contains Extremely Low Frequencies.

Project e.l.f., named after the cold war government project of the same name, is the latest work by Roach and Brain who have been making electronic music together for over 10 years. They both hail from the midwest and met while living in Chicago in the early 90's. Having both transplanted to San Francisco they've been involved in many electronic projects including Bluescreen, AB-, COLDR and the improv experimental recordings known as "evil".

This, their first album as Project e.l.f., is a soundscape of IDM beats and rich down tempo ambience. Songs range from the glitchy, driving, near Industrial "Disappearing Bridges" to the eerie, dream-like "Insectasoid". Distorted drums and a decidedly Twin Peaks-like synth line describes "8088" and "8-bit drive by" is a quirky tune constructed purely of 8-bit video game samples.

REVIEWS

One of these awesome rarities.

Imagine Autechre but slower, deeper and thicker. Add Boards of Canada's elegance, a bit of VNV Nation's massiveness and cover it with disturbing feelings of psychill. It's great, perfect moods, excellent beats and bass. And it's various, there're no similiar songs.
I just love it!

90's Electronica

Highly recommended to anyone who loves or is interested in 90's Electronica . Project E.L.F gives anyone new to this genre of music a chance to get their  toes wet before taking the plunge.

came across this cd through tastyaudio.com and have not been this impressed with an electronic full length for quite some time.  intricate and dynamic, delicate and caustic; exactly what makes music of this style so compelling.  heavily recommended.
