Alva Noto should be well known to most of you who like the glitchier musics, and Opiate should be well known to a much wider audience because of his work with Bjork. but, their collaborations are fucking incredible, taking electronic sounds and making them have a very organic edge, a sort of crunchy sound that breathes and moans. this is the first of their collaborations, simply titled "Opto Files." its fairly short, only 5 tracks, but what it lacks in length it makes up for in ingenuity. this is dark, ambient, and lush in sound, with pops and crackles provided by Noto and huge washes of melodic waves provided by Opiate. this cd came out a few years back on the always awesome Raster Noton label, which if you can afford their releases you should get them cause they are not only packaged beautifully always but i have not been disappointed by one yet (and i'm not even a huge fan of electronic music!)
