Ok, first of all, this is probably one of the most intense live experiences I ever had. A constant bass knocking out your conscious perception, taking your mind somewhere to space. An additional kick that makes your nose itch and your intestines shake. A continously more dense wall of sound(-scapes) that ultimately makes you fall completely into a mesmerised state.
They are like a more accessible, shoegazy version of Black Dice on downers..

Well whatever it is - I'm still lacking proper words to describe this stream of awesomeness - this definately is the perfect music to have sex to.

Just like their live-performances, all the pieces on this record are coherent, a subtle transition being all you'll notice.
Trying to find decent live-videos I realised that you can't display a Fuck Buttons concert that way. It's impossible. Why? It's a physical experience. That eventually can evolve into somewhat of a out-of-body experience - in...specific cases, given the corresponding amount of..inspiration, I suppose.
Listening to Fuck Buttons on your stereo does have a similar effect though - especially if played on a decent volume - so make sure you have your eyes closed.

BUY!

So this is indeed something I found intriguing and original, when I first heard about it.
On, consisting of French composer/producer Sylvain Chauveau and Chicago-based percussionist Steven Hess, approach their music in a rather unconventional way: at first improvisations are recorded in a studio and are then given to a guest musician who is to "rework" their music. That doesn't mean that he is simply remixing it but more putting it in and out of context, arranging it, adding to it, practically forging a record from the components given to him.
This isn't completely unheard of, of course, since .O.rang had been experimenting with a very similar idea when recording "Herds Of Instinct", especially when it comes to putting the recorded material out of context and making it part of something completely different.
At their last record "Your Naked Ghost Comes Back At Night" this task was taken over by Helge Sten alias Deathprod. This time it's - my beloved - Fennesz.

The result comprises drony soundscapes, gently added white noise here and there and a slowly evolving cacophony that merges into repetitive, hypnotic patterns. Fennesz' fingerprint is pretty obvious, yet the record doesn't feel like another one of his, but indeed more like countless musical textures filtered through Fennesz' mind.

This album isn't an easy listen at first, especially with the feedback-fueled opening.
If you take your time though you might find this actually quite enjoyable - personally I liked the homonymous "Something That Has Form And Something That Does Not".

I must admit I don't think I could put this in better words than the label itself - only more personal, subjective.

By the way, the vynil comes as an awesome white press whose format is just perfect for that kind of cover artwork.
