PlatEAU (Canadian electronic/minimal group)

PlatEAU is an electronic music project featuring cEvin Key and Phil Western. The project resembles a very loose approach to the Download project featuring the same members. The song names and album titles refer to the coffeeshop culture of Amsterdam 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, Music for Grass Bars. This release had a special CD jewel case in order to create a holographic-motion effect with the cover art insert. The genre is most closely related to IDM, experimental, techno and trip hop. 1997: Music for Grass Bars 1999: Spacecake – #24 CMJ RPM Charts 2002: Iceolator 2007: Kushbush 2009: Gort Spacebar Comer, M.
