Following hot on the heels of Ovalprocess, this second full album of experimental electronics using Markus Popp's special compositional software ("process") is a more difficult record to love. Packed with even more digital noise to obscure the occasional melodic elements, Ovalcommers is one of the noisier works in the Oval catalog -- and that's saying a lot. As on Ovalprocess, the countless bits of manufactured sound do come together occasionally to produce something special, as on the fourth track (all are untitled). If Ovalprocess was the complete performance, Ovalcommers sounds more like the symphony of computers tuning up. [The Japanese version not only offers titles for the 11 previously untitled tracks, but separates the 11th track into its four sections.]
