This extraordinary comp dizzies with its sonic riches. Clickhop Version 1.0, part of Mille Plateaux's Electric Ladyland series, contains over two hours of crazily inventive IDM. Hip-hop, house, R&B, and other dance genres get gobbled up by clicks and cuts only to be spit out in myriad and mutant funky forms. Unlikely things happen here. Archconservative Phillip Larkin's notorious poem "This Be the Verse" provides haunting lyrics for MRI3's "As a Child I Could Fly Without Wings." Track tempos vary wildly, ranging from the superslow "Rubbercement" by Errorsmith to the insanely fast "Ghost Breaks" by M. Singe. Unpredictable shifts occur. This is the sort of CD where riffs emerge out of thickets of noise, or seriously tweaked hip-hop dissolves into ambient industrial gloom. Well-known figures such as Vladislav Delay, DJ Spooky, and Kid606 contribute to the comp, but don't let the big names distract you from the album's other selections. Clickhop Version 1.0 is a perfect marriage of experimentation and wack-funky. --Fred Cisterna
