Transforming recordings made inside a fridge into humming ambient drones, swarming noise clusters and sparking techno pulses, they're genuinely ground-breaking in a sense that's all too rare nowadays, combining strange, rhythmic ambiguity with a taste for timbral sensation and a unique spatial sensitivity that's often all too absent from so much rote electronica and dance music nowadays. Back in 1995, along with the output of Warp and Sähkö, these trax marked a bold progression of electronic music towards the convergence of dance music dynamics and experimental abstraction, paving the way for a whole generation of artists to follow in their wake. 'Fridge Trax Plus' compiles Editions Mego's pivotal first ever release with the successive 'Live and Final Fridge' to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the label's existence.
