5...according to our Phil on Thu 20 May, 2010.

I've heard a couple of CD's on this label and it sounds pretty cool. It's all experimental electronics, knob twiddling, wave form manipulation and it's all super precise. It reminds me an awful lot of the Raster Noton gear only it's from Japan instead of Germany. It's all packaged in suitable minimal artwork and the music on this Slit album is sparse minimal clean sounding electronics. It's done super well actually and now I've just turned the volume up it sounds loads better! It's almost danceable at times! Mind you there's loads of weird frequencies bobbing in and out keeping you on your toes. Fans of Alva Noto, Raster Noton, Signal, Bretschneider take note here as this is some pretty cool shit. Am gonna check the rest o the labels wears when I get a mo!
