One of the spookiest discs of the year, Beef Terminal's 20 GOTO 10 laces deep, almost somnambulistic trance and ambient soundscapes -- instrumentals all -- with fragments of phone conversations and other disembodied voices. It's not what's being said that's so weird; most of the samples are too ambiguous to conjure much of anything. But the music itself -- meticulous, plodding and really, really dark -- spells gloom. Truly uneasy listening.
