since 1999, jeff mcilwain (a.k.a. lusine icl) has explored and combined a mixture of electronic music genres (and even some genres which do not exist yet). these explorations have ranged from experimental ambience to danceable rhythmic treatments. his fanbase has grown with each release, and lots of open minded listeners have enjoyed albums such as "iron city". each release has spotlighted mcilwains variety and virtuosity in merging several styles. this cd includes various lusine works which were available only on vinyl or only on compilations -except for the unreleased track, "cascade". none of these tracks have been released before on hymen records. although "condensed" is actually a compilation, it has the aural impression of a regular full length album. cd addicts can find the entire "chao ep" ,released just a few months ago, on mental industries. also included from mental ind. is the track "mojave" (which was taken from the "bored ep" compilation 12"). "in flight" appeared for the first time on the debut delikatessen records 10", "sustain". "rushhour" and "vacate" are 7" vinyl tracks which were published on zeal records and awkward silence. "risa", "shin", "lullaby" and "neon", are cd tracks, but from compilation only releases - originally on !k7, tigerbeat6, eatthis and u-cover. this is a fine collection of lusine’s work from the last 4 years. highly recommended.
