Shreber Harber Mole Flying Wheel

"Shreber Harber Mole Flying Wheel is a Japanese trio formed by Saitoh Tomohiro, Yamamoto Shinichiro, Kohno Nagahiro...they shows how to combine a perfect mix of dark ambient, catchy rhythms, IDM structures and electronic-pop oriented songs. All nice mixed and layered by warm and soft sounds, bright melodies, hidden guitars." (from U-Cover)

ZooL.

IDM from Belgium, his LP Vandem (2006) was released on the excellent u-cover cdr limited series. ZooL. (with the period) creates electronic music that's warm and raw, full of distorted harmonies. Some tracks remind me of Plaid, some of Max Richter. His best songs incorporate more traditional sounds (like violin, piano, or banjo) in with the beats and glitches. Definitely looking forward to his next album, which -according to his myspace- will be out this Spring.
