Chaotech Odd Echo is chaotic, technical, odd and occasionally echoey, but overall it's just plain frightening. The mysterious Kiyo (Kiyoshi Ono) apparently sent a sample of his insanely accomplished, entirely unexpected IDM to the micro splice-heads at Schematic in Miami, accompanied only by the words "enjoy warm noise from Japan". Chaotech... was the result. Already Kiyo has thrown himself into the programming vanguard with hardcore-digital luminaries Autechre, giving something like the Booth-Brown duo's LP5 a run for its money in terms of slicing detail and cerebral density, all while losing a few beats and luring unsuspecting headphone-addicts into its fractured, shimmering soundscapes with an actual melody or two.

The combination is at turns stomach-churning, head-spinning and wince-inducingly beautiful -- often all at once. After piling on layer after granular layer of melted semi-melody, "Sunset Vibe", one of a handful of near-beatless, heavily ambient cuts, collapses under its own signal-to-noise ratio and implodes, shooting out hooks right and left amid the debris. "Glow" slouches along to a plastic hip-hop beat while what sounds like mutated dolphin cries and docking rowboats collide above the mix. Halfway through the track, the beat cuts out, then winds its way back again, then cuts out, then comes back; dolphin cries become digital ping-pong balls in a woozy jam session, and the results come off like Boards of Canada after a few pints at their local pub. "On a Place" sounds like the morning after -- contemplative, somber and a bit dizzy -- with the razor-sharp inclusion of headachy, virtuosic DSP in every break.

Kiyo feels as comfortable with Mouse on Mars bloopiness (opener "Noor") as he does with Aphex-damaged modem chatter ("Way Out") as he does with dubby grooves ("Alang") as he does with glitch freak-outs ("Scope") as he does with beautifully melodic, Endless Summer-like soundscapes ("Flow") -- but despite the obvious comparisons with his European peers, Kiyo mixes and matches past recognition and gives the fractured results enough of a personal touch to defy comparisons, creating a sound that's at once mind-bending and distinctly human. If you've been suffering from IDM withdrawal ever since your favorite act released their last great album back in the '90s, give Chaotech Odd Echo a chance -- there's something incredible here for everyone.
