NOMADIC NOIZE, ARKITEK, THREE MILE ISLAND, DJ SAFI, DJ PAUSZ (Blackbird) Lots of people site lots of influences, but Nomadic Noize literally travels around the world collecting pieces of music. In the last 33 months, they've been in 9 countries recording random people talking and acquiring random beats, which they infuse into their music. Though it does sound really cool in theory, the music is actually pretty typical "live electronica," and "world beat breaks" (as the press release lists it). But if you're curious, now's your chance to hear some beats collected from Japan, or Thailand, or New Zealand. KD (click here for actual website review)
