We got a bunch of stuff in on Love The Chaos. Currently playing is Signalform + Tachikoma's 'Understanding Media' CD. This is a competent blend of digital beats, glitches and drifting melodies. This is similar to the Merck / Machine Drum / Schematic/ Push Button Objects school of abstract electronics and stuttering beats with hints of early Skam and Spezial Material. You know the score.

This project made up by the three-members band Signalform and the Canadian artist Tachikoma comes to us thanks to the Internet broad band and the global communication network. The product of their collaboration is a very elegant release in which the savoir faire and professionalism of the members becomes something obvious. This is the second album for Signalform (the first one was released by the English label Shima Records the same as Tachikoma). Before this project, they also released three albums under the name of Dron for the well-known label Mikrolux. In Understanding Media we find ten smoothly-treated electronic tracks, in which illbient is mixed with gliding melodies, all delivered to us with a digital production that perfectly combines rhythms, glitches and clicks. A very relaxing discourse; one of these records that help us to carry the day; with classical structures that turn every situation into a beauty moment, where everything is in the right place.
