     Now here's something a little bit special -- a compilation...
     no, am I losing you already? Snap back into it please, because
     this isn't just a compilation -- it's a specially created
     soundtrack to a peculiar French film. Oh did I mention they
     were all exclusive tracks? Yep we've got specially crafted
     contributions from Fennesz, Tim Hecker, Vladislav Delay, Pita,
     Steve Roden, Francisco Lopez and many more -- it's like a
     who's who of minimal electronic music really and trust me
     they're not slouching on this one. Apparently the tracks were
     constructed from sounds taken from train stations and trains
     themselves, and that's certainly evident in many of the
     compositions. Highlights unsurprisingly come from Fennesz, who
     contributes a fabulously dense six-and-a-half piece of
     ambience close to his work on the seminal Venice album and Tim
     Hecker, whose stuttering, woolly noise makes mincemeat of the
     subject matter. Less obviously though there are stunning
     moments from Steve Roden who puts his highly processed
     signature on the train recordings and Japanese artist Atau
     Tanaka, whose piece is a masterclass in menacing ambience.
     It's not often that mixed-artist compilations work, especially
     for a film soundtrack, but it's clear that whoever curated
     this collection knew exactly what they were doing, and the
     unifying threads help to make this a truly coherent listening
     experience. An excellent collection of work and one worth more
     than a casual look...
