Dataplex (stylized as dataplex) is a 2005 album by Japanese sound artist Ryoji Ikeda. It was released in December 2005 by independent record label Raster-Noton on CD.
"Caution! This CD contains specific waveform data that performs a data-read test for optical drives. The last track will cause some CD players to experience playback errors, with no damage to equipment."
Dataplex was Ryoji Ikeda's first full-length release since his 2002's orchestral Op.[4][5] It is the first part in the Datamatics series, which "interrogates and interprets the mass of raw computer data surrounding us all."[6][5] Overall, it is the musician's seventh solo album.[2][6] The last track, "data.adaplex", causes intentional playback errors when played on some CD players.[1][2][3]
