Oval – 94 Diskont (Thrill Jockey)

Oval’s masterpiece still sounds completely unique in electronic music. Oval made the record by mangling CDs with markers, tape, and razor blade to create the skipping distorted atmosphere and sound associated with glitch. Despite the brutal methods to create 94 Diskont, it often sounds incredibly pretty, even pastoral at time. This reissue also features a second disc with remixes by Jim O’Rourke, Mouse On Mars, and more.
