RI050 Real Intelligence III (CD)
Rather Interesting Compilation 1997/8
Rather Interesting presents their third compilation entitled Real Intelligence III. This cd contains a selection of titles taken from the 1997/98 R.I. releases and represents the development of musical language of one of the world's electronic music innovators. Starting with Dandy Jack's "Tubercool" (by the way, the only title on this cd in which Atom Heart was not involved) via the latino versus e-z listening projects Lisa Carbon and Señor Coconut, to the pop meets jazz mutations from Fonosandwich and The Roger Tubesound Ensemble.
The second half of this compilation leads us through the editing infernos of Schnittstelle and Naturalist to finally encounter RI's version of neo-pop for the next millenium Dropshadow Disease. The album closes with the two exclusive bonus titles, "Harddisk Rock (Don't Stop)" (a sort of electro update meets Festplatte) and "Real Intelligence". Although titles from 8 different releases are featured on Real Intelligence III, one will be surprised about the coherent and smooth flow of the album, leading from one image to the next, stepping forward and leaving all known categories behind... but remember: only stupid people call it intelligent!
