PlatEAU
open-in-new
<p>PlatEAU is an electronic music project featuring <a href="/facts/CEvin_Key/LxVzxbzm">cEvin Key</a> and <a href="/facts/Phil_Western/D1BMdtbx">Phil Western</a>. The project resembles a very loose approach to the <a href="/facts/Download_(band)/jrpV8oGx">Download</a> project featuring the same members. The song names and album titles refer to the coffeeshop culture of <a href="/facts/Amsterdam/Xdd393bz">Amsterdam</a> in The Netherlands implying a "trip" through their musical voyages. The album art also reflects this concept with imagery on their first release on Hypnotic Records in 1997, <i>Music for Grass Bars</i>. This release had a special CD <a href="/facts/Jewel_case/uzIJFGka">jewel case</a> in order to create a holographic-motion effect with the cover art insert. The genre is most closely related to <a href="/facts/Intelligent_dance_music/X5puuGou">IDM</a>, experimental, <a href="/facts/Techno/BBqWRxmt">techno</a> and <a href="/facts/Trip_hop/4E6qaJbX">trip hop</a>. </p>
