Basic Data Manipulation (Tastes And Textures Vol.2)

Chord movement does more work than atmosphere on Basic Data Manipulation. Beaumont Hannant keeps GPR's ambient-techno softness but shifts the harmony underneath it often enough that the record never settles into wallpaper; the changes quietly steer the whole thing. An example of a sound and not a landmark, but the harmonic thinking is what separates it from its neighbors.
