Catalog #:	REPH 122CD

"A beautiful home listening album from inventive rephlex stalwart Cylob, conjures up an imagined magical occidental music. Cylob's thoughts on the album: Mood Bells was started after a two-week trip to Japan, where I got to check out a few temples, gardens and mountains. There is a chilled out feeling to some of those places that seems unique and it inspired me. This album is my idea of a Japanese traditional music that doesn't exist, based around bell and gong-type sounds. The music is intended for contemplation and relaxation, and to be listened to in one sitting, perhaps accompanied by a cup of green tea. I wanted the album to have a very natural atmosphere, even though the processes of its production were very unnatural. Initially I was going to list the sound sources used on the album sleeve notes, but the music is a figment of my imagination, and I didn't want anything to ruin this 'illusion'. Some things are recognisable though, such as the vibraphone and the tam tam gong at the beginning of the album."

Title:	Music Systems Volume 2
Label:	REPHLEX (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$8.00
Catalog #:	REPH 152EP

"Following on from Volume 1, the second installment of the Cylob Music System E.P.'s is here. Once again taking a stand against notions of genre purity, the mix of Electro-Funk, Techno-Comedy, Emoto-Acid and Stringrush surely means something for everyone. Extensively tested during the past year in Cylob's D.J. sets to excited audiences all over the world, at last these masterpieces are finally available to the public. 'Metallic Justice': A stomping beat and vengeful bassline articulate a feeling that continues to shape the world at large in dramatic and violent ways. 'Chuckle Midget': The little mischief-maker that dwells within us all,takes on a life of its own and is let loose on the dancefloor. 'Acid Inseminoid': This is an acidic remix of the lead track from CMS Volume 1. A bank of paranoid and fearful 303's wail over a pumping beat. 'Cylobian Sunrise': Stirring strings and twinkling sounds break over the horizon, recalling the experience of a fresh new morning through the medium of sound."
