va - Maschinelle Stratageme

Sort of a statement of purpose from techno label Mille Plateaux's abstract/experimental offshoot, Ritornell. Released in 2000 at the height of the inexplicable popularity of post-techno computer music, it features several established artists and a few whose entire existence began and ended with the "glitch" bubble. Music by Achim Wollschied (aka SBOTHI), Dean Roberts, Akira Rabeleis, Taylor Deupree, Sony Mao, Terre Thaemlitz, Oyvind Idso, Stillupstepya, Autopoesis, Kim Cascone (of course), Full Swing (aka Stephen Mathieu), Thomas Meinecke's Framus Waikiki (who?), Christoph Charles, and an improvisation by the group of Keith Rowe, Oren Ambarchi, Fennesz, Pimmon, and Peter Rehberg (aka Pita).
