Glitch is a fascinating and underappreciated genre. I can see why most people find it boring; it's minimal, repetitive, and easy to make (though hard to make well). But when done right - and Shuttle358 is one of the most underappreciated practitioners of the genre - it can be endlessly hypnotic and beautiful. The 12k label has thankfully reissued "Frame," the 2000 classic, and I think it's a very good place to start re: glitch, which I'm assuming our readers aren't necessarily familiar with. (And as long as I'm writing about this, I might as well add; the next step could perhaps be the Mille Plateaux compilations or Oval's 94diskont.)
