ES789 Reader Offer

We're giving you two cover stars for the price of one this month. Minimal techno trailblazer Plastikman and piano maestro Chilly Gonzales have joined forces for a one-off album and the result is truly amazing. We've interviewed both artists to get the inside story on this unique record and we also have xPropaganda, In The Nursery, Roger Eno, Penguin Cafe, David M Allen and Rodney Cromwell elsewhere in the issue.

As always, we have music as well as a magazine. On one side of our latest limited edition seven-inch, you'll find an edit of the simultaneously ominous and glorious 'Contain', the opening track of Plastikman's 1998 album 'Consumed'. Over on the other side is an edit of 'Contain (In Key)', a beautiful new version of the dramatic ambient piece featuring Chilly Gonzales on the piano. The latter is a wonderful taster for Plastikman and Chilly's recently issued 'Consumed In Key' album, a radical take on minimal techno that pushes the two artists way beyond their comfort zones.

This month's seven-inch is pressed on clear vinyl and, as with all our music releases, it is only available to readers of Electronic Sound, so be sure to grab your copy right away.
