Incredible talent, indescribable sound. Pushing way beyond the limits of 90's techno. Check it out if you want something new.

Please bear with the harsh digital format and glitchy off-beatness that may initially turn you off of this album. This guy does stuff that people in elec.music only dream of. He has thousands of megs of audio on his laptop that he can access, deconstruct, reverse, shred and otherwise rock like a jazz drummer inside of two i-macs and a mixer. Ignorant people may miss the fact that if they follow the beats from beggining to end 606 NEVER gets "lost" and never does "the same thing over and over again."
This guy hangs out with matmos, the mac geniuses that produced parts of Bjork's Vespertine album, and he is hailed by everyone from Vice magazine, Blackbook and bands like The Rapture, Super Furry Animals, and The Locust. Don't hate!

I don't know Kid606, but I can only imagine that this is what happens when, probably under the influence of drugs, someone with a bunch expensive analog toys pays a recording label to release his monotonous, rhythmless noise.

Some of the tracks start out with promise for the first few seconds, but then the rest of the song is just that few seconds over and over for 8 minutes or so.

Unless you like collecting the slightly interesting CD cases of horrible albums by pretentious pseudo-musicians, your money would be better spent buying a bottle of whiskey for a bum on the street corner. At least then SOMEBODY would be enjoying something for your money.
