Two radio streams to check out. The first is an experimental site run out of MIT labs that distills various threads of music into a single synthetic track -- a bit like those dissolving Listerine sticks that might be a bit too sharp to give any pleasure, but useful as a way to disinfect the orifices -- the second just a good dub station with some other kooky stuff thrown in (and your typical college-boy type DJ).
(Actually, I'm enjoying Eigenradio a lot more than the above might suggest -- it's just that when I first turned it on, it was quite noisy, like Plunderphonics with no soul -- as if it ever had one -- but now it's going through a pretty mellow, even kind of sexy, phase, a clicky electronic wave with bits of saxophone flitting above it.)
"Eigenradio plays only the most important frequencies, only the beats with the highest entropy. If you took a bunch of music and asked it, "Music, what are you, really?" you'd hear Eigenradio singing back at you. When you're tuned in to Eigenradio, you always know that you're hearing the latest, rawest, most statistically separable thing you can possibly put in your ear."
