5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it from the artist instead, May 5, 2011

This review is from: Eye Spy Volume 1 (Audio CD)

The music from the "Æon Flux" cartoon series and defunct CD-ROM and PlayStation game (which later got released as "Pax Corpus", though I don't know if it features any of the original music) is fantastic. Experimental, synthy, moody, weird, unique.

Originally released in '97, the "Eye Spy - Ears Only: Confidential" album featured edited down/shortened versions of some tracks and excluded several tracks altogether, due to being released on only two CDs.

In 2010, Drew Neumann, the series' composer, released on his site (Google his name or Droomusic) the full soundtrack album, entitled "Eye Spy: Declassified, Freedom of Information Act", as 320kbps MP3s, remastered from the original master tapes and including the full length versions of previously truncated tracks, as well as a whole third volume of previously unreleased tracks--music from one of the episodes, the shorts, and from my understanding tracks that were never used at all.

Included with the audio files are PNG scans of the original album's artwork, as well as an image of the original, unused cover artwork by Peter Chung, and cover artwork for the third volume.

Unfortunately, Neumann apparently has no plans to release this extended album on CD, though mentions on the site a possibility of a limited run if enough interest is worked up. Here's hoping for a three-disc set in the near future with lavish artwork and that; nothing beats owning a physical product! But for 12 bucks, the three-volume MP3 album is a great value, and the money goes directly to the artist.

I adore avant garde electronic music. It is becoming extremely difficult to locate relevant voiceless electronica. Electronic music has become a vast expanse of redundant and futile house music and guitar synth. I am extremely pleased that I have discovered the work of Drew Neumann. I am fully aware of what sonic formulations are being considered contemporary electronica, and even though this work is of the previous century, it is still firmly within the realm of the avant garde. This work defies placement within any accepted subgenre of electronica, and that is exactly the manner of music I am searching for.

This music is amazing. It is so original. It's a mix of techno music with asian influences. I really love this cd, and loved listening to the music on Aeon Flux. I love Aeon Flux.
