This is something I came across while I was listening to the samples on the weekly Other Music maling list. I had been curious about them ever since I heard their remix on the Pastels remix album "Illuminiati", but I never knew which album to get as they had a few. The samples were really great, so I went ahead and got it and was not dissapointed. The store person explained to me that it's sort of dark and eccentric stuff. That wasn't my initial impression of them, but maybe that's one way to explain their sound. I might even use an overused phrase like "hauntingly beautiful". I guess this is a collection of remixes and collaborations with other artists of whom the only I know of is Blonde Redhead. They do seem to share a certain melancholic tone, but this one is not really rock music. There's a lot of really interesting sound manipulations going on. I don't know if it's done digitally or not, but some of it sounds like tape manipulations. In another song, the beats are samples of what sounds like house hold noises which reminds me of a record called "Les Domestiques" which was actually made with 2 improv musicians running around an old aprtment making noises. Anyway, it's really exquisitely produced. Read more about them here and there and you'll find out they are actually one person, but I felt like A Foundation should be adressed as more than just one.
