This sounds like Moby made a "Go"-remix of a typical Enigma track lolz.

And who remembers Durutti Column? Its one of my favorite old experimental bands lately (well ,most of my music is for "chilling" lol), one of the first new-wave bands to experiment with weird atmospheric quitar distortions, synths, samples and tape recorders, creating a kind of electronic-ambient-new-wave-post-punk-dubedelia :wtf: . This band had actually a large influence in all later-day shoegaze, ambient, post-rock, electronica, industrial-you name it. Yes its Durutti Column with the tune "Missing Boy" dedicated to the death of the leader of another amazing post-punk/new-wave band-Ian Curtis of Joy Division

i'd rather chill to field recordings that aren't music.
Surveillance culture isn't a new thing really. Remember the Cold War - nuclear proliferation, international espionage, all that? Well now you can experience all those feelings of alienation and paranoia but with a new media twist. Brought to you by Turbulence.org, founding member of New York based C505 Yoshi Sodeoka's Prototype #44, Net Pirate Number Station takes you back to the Cold War era when shortwave radio anticipated the internet's capacity for anonymous, surreptitious worldwide communication. The 'numbers stations,' it is believed, were used by military powers to broadcast coded number sequences to spies in the field. Delivered in a repetitive monotone, usually by a female voice, the eerie transmissions developed a cult following and infiltrated the arts through jazz and electronic music. Sodeoka's project uses the numbers stations as a model for a tongue-in-cheek, James Bond Meets Kazaa critique of new art culture itself, in which text "pirated" from websites is converted into numbers and delivered to visitors by three prerecorded video host personalities. Cold, detached, and just boring enough to be interesting, this station might be the new big thing.
The encoding of information, besides masking its meaning, determines a structural transformation which has his own aesthetic, easy to perceive when it's translated in audio form. This was noticeable in Free Radio Linux, an audio stream of the source of the Linux kernel read by a computer, a project reminiscent of the 'code stations' popular in the Eighties, pirate radios which broadcasted software. Net Pirate Number Station, instead, is connected to the historic techniques of transmission of enciphered messages using numerical codes. It's the latest work by Yoshi Sodeoka commissioned by Turbulence.org. Using a television interface, particularly dear to the author, there are three possible views of the numbers generated from web pages. The numbers are then read aloud by concatenating pre-recorded sequences spoken by many different women, and the numbers lose their identity in an endless repetition and become sound, a mantra of digits, interrupted by faint white noises. It's a rhythm which flows uninterruptibly, drawing a shifty and obscure perspective which reveals a non-conventional approach to the use of data and to their organization and enjoyment.
in other words, that project of his is just a product of mental masturbation. it has absolutely no meaning, just like the rest of his works i have encountered.
