The pioneering German experimental/electro label Mille Plateaux was founded on inspiration from French social philosopher
Gilles Deleuze and his book A Thousand Plateaus, so the label organized this two-disc tribute featuring a veritable roll call of the top techno subversives in Germany, Britain and America. The tracks are all exclusives, from the likes of
Atom Heart,
Gas,
J. Burger,
Oval,
Mouse on Mars,
Scanner,
Ian Pooley,
Jim O'Rourke,
FX Randomiz,
Chris & Cosey,
Gas,
Christophe Charles and
Kerosene. With an attractive 30-page booklet including the writings of
Deleuze,
In Memoriam Gilles Deleuze: Folds & Rhizomes is a near-crucial collection for fans of the philosophy or the music. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
