HONORARY MENTION

Dat Politics
Quickly Dat Politics gained a name for themselves. With three people of Tone Rec plus one more member they have a split 12”on Fat Cat, a LP for their own label skipp and this CD for A-musik.
The 12”and LP were nice already, but this CD blows my mind! Dat Politics are announced as a computer group, or laptop quartet, so I expected heavy improv doodlings like Rehberg & Bauer or the rest of the Mego posse, but how delighted I am to find something different. Dat Politics brings us 11 cuts of cute music—popmusic maybe. Each track—no titles—is well-balanced, structured around guiding themselves. Hardly a week brother in here.There are hints of hip hop and techno elements, but it avoids falling in these traps … VITAL( february 2000)
