Review

Alternative Press (4/00, p.84) - 5 out of 5 - "...Like the best artisans of 'microscopic sound', Fennesz recreates the organic from the atom up; he's a Romantic seduced by binary....Imagine a chorus of modems caroling cricket fantasias..."
The Wire (1/00, p.80) - "...He takes the standard Mego language of needling synthetic tones, random clicks, buzzes and electronic blisters, and fuses them into a fluid rush of energy....What sticks in the ear is the clarity with which he shifts between different swathes and bandwidths of noise..."

Product note

Fennesz: Christian Fennesz (guitar, programming).
Recorded in July and August 1999.
Why is Vienna's Christian Fennesz one of the most widely respected--and imitated--guitarists of his generation... His notion of using new technology to reinvent an old instrument isn't unique in and of itself. But few execute these ambitions with the sparkling musicality that marks Fennesz's self-sampled computer-and-guitar treatments.
Guitar may be the last thing to come to mind as coruscating wavebreaks, torrents of resampled sound, and crystalline glitch showers pour forth from Fennesz' second album. Yet six strings and a Powerbook are the sole sources of the sonic phenomena Fennesz conjures on +475637 -165108. Even as sounds are drastically crunched, compressed, and rejiggered, the lushness and luminance of Fennesz's compositions go against the sterile anti-nature of computerized synthesis. The eight untitled tracks resemble sensitive, telescopic recordings of rainforest insect life or natural atmospheric occurrences, not calculated computer-lab findings. This inherent naturalism extends to the warm, lifelike pulses that find their way into each piece. Fittingly, +475637 -165108 takes its title from the coordinates of Fennesz's backyard garden, the site of the open-air studio where these tracks were created.
