i probably buy 100-200 cd's a year, of all sorts (i have very eclectic taste) and i have to tell you that my favorite album in a very long time is iota by a group called ihan (mille plateaux 81). it is electronica, and definitely "out there," but highly engaging. anyone with the least interest in experimental music should love it. it is fabulous on headphones.
here are excerpts from a description that appears to be machine translated, from http://www.atlantisrecords.com/new-september00.html :
Ihan is an electronic duo of two design students from Toulouse, France. Started from an instrumental background, today they explore the abstract 'plates-formes' of sound. Their first album ever fits perfect in the electronic imperium of Mille Plateaux. Like SND or Bretschneider, Ihan works with all the new soundfiles and glitches of digital music, but use it in a very special humoresque but also cool way....Flows of intensity, fluids, continuums and conjunctions of affects, fine segmentation, microperceptions are charecteristics of Ihan's music.
from Wire (3/00, p.62) - "...Inventive music....in which the surface of air itself seems to become damaged..."
