"Any association between the3 group Amp, its origins in Bristol, England and the various bands based in that area ought to be put aside for a moment. With their second album, Amp have moved beyond any scene identification or family tree into a realm of their own creation. Their initial singles, debut album Sirenes and collaborations with the Third Eye Foundation found Amp moving between delicate piano figures, jungle rhythmic clatter, outer limits drone and cosmic balladry. This new double album on Kranky finds Amp delving into speleological explorations, working within sound caverns that echo with bass and the distant thunder of drums."

Title:	Stenorette
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 031CD

"The third album from the English duo Amp. Richard Walker and Karine Charff have distilled the exploratory and songwriting sides of the band into a potent, accessible brew. Recorded and mixed with the help of Robert Hampson, Stenoretee marks a return to the rhythmic emphasis of the first Amp recordings, with lock stepping, stuttering and clattering percussion moving behind, around and through the music. Richard Walker composed a good deal of the music here on piano, a point of origin that is reflected in the more delicate pieces as well as in the melodies and moving sheets of sound. Focal points of sound Stenorette shift from the grooves to looped drones to smears of guitar and finally to Karine Charff's seductive vocals. Amp have made a recording that reaches the listener on many levels, from the simple effectiveness of a beautiful tune to whirling sonic vertigo."
