With Expedition_2, Everest Records widens its map of mid-2000s experimental electronics: 15 tracks ranging from austere ambient and granular microsound to glitch-leaning beats, dub-tinged pulses, and turntablist abrasion. The compilation threads a coherent arc out of contrasts—precision and drift, impact and hush—capturing a scene in forward motion. Contributors include Alphatronic, d’incise, [sic], Meienberg, Softland, Falls of Mute, HOPEN, Jotta, Paral-lel, OP Rechts/Matu, Eakui, TSUKI, Steinbrüchel, Uniform, and Misel Quitno. Each cut feels like a coordinate; together they form a topography of risk, curiosity, and craft. A snapshot of 2006 that still feels sharp and alive—Expedition_2 is both a gateway and a document: diverse voices, one expedition.
