RPUT 037R-LP
|
Reissue, originally released in 2020. Azure, Vinyl Williams' fifth album was released on French label Requiem Pour Un Twister in 2020. Azure marks a point of higher equilibrium for songwriter Lionel Williams, using far more restraint and speed than his earlier releases, as well as a concentration of unifying paradoxical qualities. Vinyl Williams' Opal (2018) was critically acclaimed and his earlier releases, Brunei (2016) and Trance Zen Dental Spa (2015) -- a collaboration with Chaz Bear of Toro Y Moi -- are fan favorites for their incessant bliss and driving rhythms. Vinyl Williams' live shows are a spectacle of pearlescent sights and sounds, with all of Williams' work combined and synchronized together in rapturous hyper-dimensional moments. For fans of Morgan Delt, Toro Y Moi, Ariel Pink, Part Time, Maston, Jacco Gardner, Arthur Verocai, Sunbeam Sound Machine, The Free Design, Curt Boettcher, Chris Cohen, Dungen. Orange marbled vinyl.

Luke Slater returns to Ostgut Ton with a Planetary Assault Systems album titled Arc Angel. Staying true to the project's initial mission statement, Slater comments on the new yet familiar musical direction: "For me, music has to go forward. I'd feel I was cheating by sticking to tried-and-tested formulas." With Arc Angel, Planetary Assault Systems departs to new musical frontiers by focusing on melody, but staying rooted in the purist values of techno. While the album title may sound like a reference to spiritual matters, it hints to rather secular affairs. Arc Angel is a postmodernist, non-comfortist techno album first and foremost. In the tradition of Slater's previous albums with Ostgut Ton - The Messenger (OSTGUT 010LP/020CD, 2011) and Temporary Suspension (OSTGUT 004LP/009CD, 2009) - its musical motifs radiate around polymorphic and extraterrestrial sounds, using contemporary instrumental language, but with an emphasis on compatible musical phrases. "With this album it was very much a case of limitation and focus around the idea of alternative melody," Slater says, "I love music that takes you somewhere new. All music for this album had to pass that test. At the same time I wanted to re-root the foundations of what I see as techno into that and focus on melody, rather than a track just being a beat." While there are nods to the past, Arc Angel aims for the future. There's shimmering sounds reminiscent of light beams being fired ("Tri Fn Trp"), pulsing signals in deep space ("Angel Of The East", "Sonar Falls", "Groucho") and rather harsh aesthetics ("The Last Scene"). Its melodic range includes hypnotic arrangements ("Merry Go Round", "Blue Monk"), distorted bells ("Revolution One"), rainbow noise and spatial effects - for the most part meshing with heavy kick drums ("Message From The Drone Sector", "The Rider"), sometimes using reduced beat patterns ("Max"), at times turning to repetitious loops, analog synth pads and alienated vocal bits ("Interlude 1 to 6"). Despite its musical richness, all gear had to fit onto a small table. "I love software, hardware, technology; but because we have almost endless choice of sound creating devices, it drove me to using very limited and focused equipment. Actually taking influences from the way an original blues guy... He has the guitar, the box and voice - I have the 909 and 808." Includes digital download of the single tracks and the continuous album mix.

"The Pretty Things and the Small Faces are our two cover stories this time. In the most revealing interview he's ever given, Phil May spills his guts about his fractured childhood, life as a teenage art school outsider and the first hell-raising year of the Pretty Things. Plus an exclusive chapter from Phil's upcoming autobiography. The Small Faces: we have fabulous interviews with Ian McLagan and the late, great Steve Marriott. We have big features on '60s pop-psych songsmiths Carter & Gilbert and the Rainy Daze, Texas garage heroes Thursday's Children, California cult pop sensations The Hitmakers, Cyril Jordan's memories of 1967, and an exclusive interview with the elusive Julian Covey, a.k.a. Philamore Lincoln. We also have the thrilling conclusions to our serials on The Haunted and The Radiators from Space, European beat group scoops on The Loosers and the JocoDev Sextett, LA punks The Gears, and even the pre-'Kung Fu Fighting' mod-soul years of Carl Douglas. Not to mention our extensive review sections covering all the latest reissues, rock 'n' roll books and DVDs."

OSTGUT 037EP

This is the first of three samplers (parts I & II on vinyl, part III digital-only), showcasing some of the exclusive new tracks chosen for Ben Klock's Berghain 04 (OSTGUT 013CD) mix compilation. Martyn's "Miniluv" steps around a more solid 4/4 framework, yet typically dubbed, warm elements breeze by as an ethereal theme emerges amongst the lovingly-placed dusty grooves. Roman Lindau's "Keppra" is a solid, experimentally-edged slice of atmospheric club music, conjuring images of industrial works, iron foundries and sunken warehouses.
