about

I made this austere and peculiar album of grainy texture-loops in 1998, a particularly dissolute and romantically blighted year even by my standards back then.

I actually had a "record deal" to release this thing with an East London drum n bass promoter who was trying to break into Serious Electronic Music & seemed to be under the impression that I had it in me to become the next Tortoise. Unfortunately I scuppered his plan by developing a bizarre fixation with the idea that it *had* to be released in a case made out of milled black anodized depleted uranium, and expended so much time and effort on this quixotic project that everyone involved ended up losing interest.

Anyway, I've jiggered it around a bit but it's roughly the same recording that was supposed to come out twenty years ago. Hope you like it. If you don't then I'm sorry, but you probably didn't pay for it so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Also, I was probably on MDMA at the time.

Notes on Listening
by Suki Sou

Strong 70s utopian electronic vibes, Harmonia, Laurie Spiegel, Terry Riley, all that good shit. Definitely has that insufferable "I own a Buchla lol peasants" vibe but I'll let it go because it slaps. SIMON BREAK

Been a μ-ziq fan since Tango n Vectif, literally 30 years lol fucking hell I'm old! Anyway this has all the usual Paradinas sqwonk and humor, but taken in a more contemplative, warm direction. SIMON BREAK

Bongo
by Cabbages

A bunch of old rock n roll freaks decomposing into a grubby psychedelic soup of bad vibes & good times. Sometimes you just need to roll all the knobs to the top & pretend you're Iggy Pop. SIMON BREAK
