“1000” is the debut compilation album from a new music collective called Electroneg: some idiots who are dedicated to unearthing electronic/leftfield sounds from Wales and the rest of the known universe. We are passionate about electronic and leftfield music in all its forms, from Merzbow to Justice. We wanted this compilation to be an open and unsnobby representation of some of the good things currently coming out of Wales. Which is why you’ll hear electronica flirting outrageously with bass music, almost-pop, noisense and many other genres we’ve just made up. Featuring contributions from Cian Ciaran (the man who gives the Super Furry Animals their distinctive electronic edges), Frank Naughton (founder of Mu-Ziq alongside Mike Paradinas and responsible for their classic first album Tango N’ Vectif), Quinoline Yellow (who has in the past released on the likes of Autechre’s Skam Records), and Cardiff’s very own Islet (whose posteverything sounds currently have everyone talking). The album has been mastered by electronic music legend Frank Naughton. As well as being released as a download (iTunes, Amazon, Bandcamp etc) the album will also be available on something called a CD at an outrageously cheap price. Check the website and your local record shop for details. Several other things of a forward-looking and deeply democratic nature will also be occurring around the album’s release, such as the creation of visual works of wonder, extreme reinterpretations of tracks and other things that will hurt your brain.
