Before becoming one of the most acclaimed experimental musicians of our time, Tim Hecker made IDM under the name Jetone. Sharp beats, wandering synth lines, and some hints of the glitchy ambient scrap heaps that would become his signature.
EDIT: Wow, just noticed how similar this album cover is to the one that I posted two days ago. Completely unintentional on my part.

Thanks for this - interested to hear some early Tim Hecker - plus yes, I thought that was an ECM, er, joint at first glance...
ReplyDeleteIn honor of your posting coincidence I shall rename this album Tim Hecker Trio
ReplyDeletein itunes ;) Thank you for this, I confess I didn't know about Hecker's Jetone project meanwhile I consider myself an IDM connoisseur(IDM = idiot douchebag music - ahh a better, less pompous name...was also a blog once upon a time, bet you knew it)
