You got Deconstructivism in my Dubstep

For her massive compilations BBC DJ Mary Anne Hobbs is certainly dabbling in much more than dubstep these days.
Ben Frost's inclusion on the latest comp is a good example of the super-quality work one can find with an adventurous tuning away from a genre, but around its edges.
Frost is more of a sound artist than a DJ, hanging out with the likes of Lawrence English and Machinefabriek rather than Skream and Burial. Though one can definitely hear similarities.
Strangely though, this track is coming at'cha straight outta 2006, despite the newness of this compilation. What the...? Since then Frost has had a hand in a few things, namely last year's epic "Steel Wound."
For fans of shimmering, damaged, shifting and indistinct music, with a clear ear towards the majestic. Read: Tim Hecker, Basinski, Ateleia, etc.

sigh, Barrie you have once again broken my credit card.
This struck me as almost desperate in its longing to connect and pull one out of the etherous muck toward the light. But not deconstructivist to me, at least not completely - not emotionally, any way. It's like deconstructing, for a purpose.
Okay, I'm not making sense now, I'll just shut up and listen to it again.
buahaha! I have succeeded again at battering your finances!
I agree with you on the emotional level. This forming/not forming thing is really lovely. Really reminds me of the last track on "Body Riddle" by Clark.
Ha! Clark I have! Don't even try it you scoundrel!!!
