It’s usually MusicEmissions policy to not review any CD’s that come to us in CDR format but something told me to check out DJ Don Smith’s project called The New Digital Sound. Don Smith is in the category of IDM, along the lines of Autechre and other Warp artists. No really, this is a valid comparison and if you are a label looking for an electronica artist along the lines of Sybarite, you should get in touch with The New Digital Sound. Some of the tracks are darker than others but some actually have a shiny feel to them. The 13 tracks are diverse enough that you don’t get bored. An interesting track here is “Devoid of Emotion� where a news sample talking about a “bizarre murder� where Don keeps it repeating for over 1 minute. The music is well produced and most likely recorded straight from Don Smith’s computer. There are no glitches that I can hear. So much good music like this goes unnoticed amongst all the rest.
