Not many electronica bands want you to know how they achieve their sound, but icu don't hide behind a sampler or a MIDI system. They are straight-up analog, and that means all the beats, tunes, and scratches are done before your eyes (and ears) via upright bass, turntables, electric guitar, and keyboards. Coaxing worldbeat melodies from obscure sources, DJ K.O. deftly blends his cuts and scratches to the slouchy bass rhythms and graceful keys. K.O. also happens to be a theremin virtuoso, and the strange, high-frequency emissions of this obscure tone-generating instrument are a refreshing addition to the overused electronic vocabulary of most dance music. icu repudiate the notion that electronic music is an aural deception. It's all-the-way live. And even though you can't buy it at the health-food store, it's still 100 percent organic. --Lois Maffeo

This Washington trio makes instrumental music that ... offers giddy counterpoint to ponderous post-rockers and computer-music depressives.
