Danny Zelonky's Crank album, Heftibag on Mille Plateaux (Germany), features extensive use of Kyma, and expands upon the ideas heard in the recent Wanton Phenomena (Mille Plateaux), and Approximate Love Boat (Plug Research, under artist name Low Res) albums. If you imagine yourself as a jazz musician strung out on ketamine, passed out in an alley behind a sleazy venusian bar, then this just might be your mental soundtrack!

Wanton Phenomena, the first album released by Danny Zelonky under his Crank monicker, received high praise from The Wire magazine: “a staggering album of cavernous, ever shifting electronics..... [a] stunning advance for US electronica.”
