B-Side

Known for the sound of drum machines ricocheting beats like loose change in a centrifuge, Ikue Mori tames her chaotic nature in favor of a more subdued brand of unease in her collection of soundtrack material. The tracks on B-Side are more aligned with the cut-and-paste world of musique concrète. On the opening track didgeridoo, demonic frogs, and crickets vomit out from fissures in the earth as the Emergency Broadcast Network welcomes the tabloid-announced apocalypse. The gurgles of amphibian and mammalian panic rear again on "Geek Love," only this time they are serenaded by plucked cello, outer-space radio signals, and a chorus of subculture Sirens. --Michael Woodring
