108 on The 250 Best Electronic Albums of the 20th Century

A broken filter pedal became a genre; the crackle is the composition

A broken filter pedal clicks its way into a new language on Pole's 1. The malfunction is not hidden or corrected; Pole builds the dub around it until the error becomes pulse, texture and identity at once. The concept is narrow and rests on one accident; Pole got there first. What began as damaged equipment ends as a compositional rule.

15 on The 10 Best Dub Techno Albums

A broken Waldorf filter that clicked instead of filtering, turned into a language. Sits between this list and glitch.
