1.
[VERTIGODS, YOU ‘N’ I]
Along the “prism path” I come with Asylum Aya
In our hair . . . sprigs of infinitely evergreen havoc-hock
—-scent o’ sorcery, brow plumes—-
‘N’ up ahead . . . unpaved visions a-g-l-o-w . .
. a stockpile of labyrinths crowning us
with centuries . .

[A WELL-KEPT INNOCENCE]
Outriders arrive with burning torches,

proclaiming y-o-u — the hidden purpose,
the hem of divinity,
flourishing, trancelike amongst us.

[ANTIDOTE FOR A LIFE OUTSIDE EXISTENCE]
You who p u l s a t e---
pour into our arteries . . . the “holy frenzy” tonic

I am here too, seeking sacred union
21.
[THE SONG OF YOUR UNUSED MOLECULES]
I have burnt . . . The Arousal Almanac

of the forty-eight cardinal points
of the “Holy Citadel of Abstinence”
My punishment: ripples in the marrow, skull petals, dimensional sickness
and all my ep i l e p t I c gestures

is plagued . . . .

[THE AMNESIAC’S ANTHEM]
For ten thousand ages and a thousand autumns
I will go aimlessly
(down ol’ Onslaught Aisle)
(genetic palanquin, logic oxen, very-moment fluency)
till I reach . . . . the outskirts
of “The Ancient Ecstatic Lands”
where an “incendiary crane”-------------comes flyin’ into view

of you passing by

E23 Denver, Colorado
A self-avowed “rave child of the ‘90s”, E23’s modular synth cable roots run deep through the music and culture of Electronica & EDM. E23 co-founded Electronic Air on KGNU-FM (1995) and first-generation iRadio station, RadioValve (1997). He taught digital audio production for the University of Denver as an adjunct professor (2006-2008). His “illclectronic” style spans numerous electronic subgenres. ... more
E23 recommends:
Real Intelligence I-IV
by Atom™
Real Intelligence is a brilliant counterpoint to Warp's Artificial Intelligence series of the same era. A great introduction to the world of AtomTM, one of my top 3 favorite producers of all time.

Cirque Du Freque
by Normal Ones
Take an ingenious analog Techno lead track and then blenderize it through the remix engine of five other artists. Fine work from the artists also known as L'Astra Cosmo.
go to album
Exceptional compilation covering the territory Multicast has traversed since the mid-1990s. Lots of IDM & Downtempo gems here.

Breakneck, skittering electronic music of a darker hue, summoning vast, swirling galaxies of sound.

The latest from precenphix kicks out spiky shards of fractured industrial and EBM, riding a line between glitch and goth.
