I can't pick a favourite track, two fantastic minds forming like a tape warped Voltron to further warp our minds with tape warped greatness. I may have had an alcoholic beverage or two before writing this. Buy it, or not. It's your choice. But I love it.
Courtis and Posset scrape the magnetic dust from a bunch of traded tapes (sent between Newcastle and Buenos Aires) to create a random and violent Beam Drop.
With dub methods becoming the glue, occasional milky sunlight pokes through the clouds. Meaning begins to form into a language of tones, gestures and tingles. The intent is clear but results are wantonly indistinct.
Anla Courtis, well known for his time served in psychic troubadours Reynols, provides dark guitar, chains and bells that swing like coal-cutting machines; black with rust but inset with diamonds. Posset chants the ancient names into an array of Dictaphones and plays back the lost language with added tape pinch and FFW scree.
Yeah...like a blurred Polaroid or something."
