Lexaunculpt ‎- Oh Here's Some Noises - ISO010

2001, Isophlux

Lexaunculpt (AKA Alex Graham) first emerged on the world electronic music scene in 1998 with his debut mini album Oh Here's Some Noises. With its very limited pressing of 500 copies it's impact on the electronic music scene was so strong, Lexaunculpt was able to win single of the year, and best new artist of the year in 1998, which was voted on by world members of the IDM News Group community. Lexaunculpt, who has played drums since the age of six took those skills, and a bunch of hold hip-hop, classical, and electro records, and manipulate them to bring us a message from a future we will never reach. By blending, stretching, and chopping these elements into an organized structure to form a mathematical musical smear that seduces and teases our musical senses on both the emotional side and the physical side. Pressed on clear vinyl with clear packaging and features songs that are not available on any other releases or formats.

I never met Orange County's Alex Graham, but I did meet Gonzi Merchan at a Bjork gig in LA (I was a little starstruck having just met Prince, how's that for namedropping?) and he gave me this demo (Prince, not Gonzi) called "Oh, Here's Some Noises". I thought it was pretty cool, if a little too Autechrey. Anyway he has these 2 releases on Isophlux and Gonzi's now sadly defunct Orange, and he becomes the toast of the idm list (back in 97/98 or whenever). Anyway, I really enjoyed his remix of Kid606 and the CCO comp track - "Plus and Minus Miss C-Bug" so Hrvatski convinced him to send me a demo (I don't think he liked to send demos) and I eventually liked it (After embarassingly rejecting it - it was what's known as "a grower"). So there you are.
