"Part tribute to primitive minimalism and part soundtrack to an obscure underground movie directed by one J. Ghosn, 4 Moogs is just that. An antique moog synth and a 4 track, 4 droning tones that go on for ages, just for the sake of it. 4 Moogs could have been produced anytime during the last 30 years, somewhere between 4 organs, 4 violins, and 6 pianos. 4 Moogs is the sound of Discipline, an ongoing rambling project that seeks to produce a soulful minimalist music made of tape hiss, accidental locked grooves, fucked up mini-samples, ur-electronic slices of non-reliable analog junk, budget priced delays, hijacked Sun Ra Saturn LPs and oversized Vox amps. The 4 Moogs D-Mix done by Darryl Moore, he of Soul Static Sound fame, takes the very essence of the original track to a whole new dimension of sound, making the dub scores of Rhythm & Sound's Maurizio meet up with LaMonte Young's organic chants."

"After its self-released and critically acclaimed debut CD, Madrid has started to expand its web, through three collaborations -- remixes, they somehow call them -- with three unique talents. Hailing from somewhere between Richmond, Virginia and Chicago, 'city of lights', Pan American is Mark Nelson, he of Labradford fame. His track takes the sometimes ethereal sound of Madrid and puts it in a new context, redefining it as a cross between Basic Channel's dub excursions, Moodymann lo-fi house twang, and Alice Coltrane's abstract, solemn, heartbreaking soundscapes. A true masterpiece. Before giving way to Bruce Gilbert's own reworking of Madrid -- someone well advised said, 'this sure is a Bruce thing'... That is, no one could ever dare to compete with that abrasive and yet so cohesive sound Mr. Gilbert has defined and refined, starting from his days with post-punks Wire all the way to his DJ Beekeeper guise, now applied to Madrid's notes, harmonies, and bleeps. Now that's what I call musique concrete. And then there is that third name, Leverkusen, that should appeal to all football fans. Under that moniker you'll find a young Parisian producer, messing up with his machines, making them sweat and jerk and rattle. Here is some drum'n'bass from le quartier du Bastille, oui Monsieur -- as abstract, and yet as meaningful, as you can get, beatwise that is..."
