“A Compressed History of Everything Ever Recorded, vol.2: Ubiquitous Eternal Live” reviewed by Vital

Just like the first volume, I really like the title of this work. In this first volume Autodigest delt the compression of music, the new volume is about ‘all the audiences ever recorded and has them share one hour of hysterical, progressively apocalyptic applause’. And that’s what you get: people clapping their hands, cheering, shouting. On end. It’s probably an extensive loop being repeated. Or maybe not.

Yes, this is minimal music indeed. If ‘music’ is a term to be applied to this. Is it good? I don’t know. Is it bad? I don’t know that either. Do I like it? I don’t know. It’s certainly a CD to impress your friends with, if you want to show off some of the weirdness of your record collection. The weirdest thing I have come across in 2004 for sure.
