Zero One Discography of CDs

Zero One CD discography PROTOTYPE 2 delves further into the terrain staked out on Zero One's self-titled 1998 release. Steeped in the style of first-wave electronica a la Tangerine Dream, Zero One conjure sound worlds that are at once evocative of classic ambient yet decidedly modern. This updating is done primarily through a superb selection of beats that add pulse and body to the compositions, yet never define or overpower them (as the beats in electronica genres like house and techno often do). Instead, Zero One concentrate on grooves that are evocative and light, and seem to float through the gauzy washes of synthesizer, flange-like effects, jazzy accents, and spacey textures. "Search," for example, is based on a fugue-like keyboard melody that percolates over a subtle drum pattern and a minimal, surging bass line. The overall effect is mesmerizing, and pleasing both to the rhythm-hungry body and the travel-seeking mind. 2nd Rel

calculated adventures in electrOnica...

Zero One combines classic ambient atmospheres with subtle beats. On one hand, this self-titled release recalls the age of vintage electronica, with its seeming allusions to Tangerine Dream ("Waken") and Kraftwerk ("Trust"). But Zero One brings these influences up to date with contemporary production flourishes and extended trance-inducing passages. One of Zero One's calling cards is the repeated vocal sample, such as on "Hell Is Cooling Off." These samples act as markers as listeners drift through the gauzy world of wide synth washes, squiggly sound effects, and embryonic rhythm pulses. At times the album seems to be free-falling through space, at others moving steadily through the belly of a friendly, over-active computer, but even in these strange territories, ZERO ONE is a surprisingly inviting listen. "Calculated Adventures In Electronica"

ZerO One is the stage name of electronica artist Kevin Dooley, who released three full-length albums of funky electro-ambient music on the Waveform label before compiling this thoroughly enjoyable collection of remixes. While it features contributions by producers Bluetech, Phutureprimitive, and Magic Sound Fabric, the album consists primarily of new mixes ...
