Label:
PLANET MU (UK)
Format:
2CD
Price:
$19.00
Catalog #:
ZIQ 093CD
"For his second album, Portsmouth's Chris Reeves plies us with more unsettling moods and weird insect-like skittering percussion. Chock full of strange atmospheres and chord changes, The Gasman makes sure the feeling is always uncertain. This time there is a definite bit of a choir / church organ / haunted pirate ship / broken ghost train vibe. Also a smidgen of Belgian techno, smashed wine glass and lime cordial organ renditions. Influenced by Belgian techno, early '90s breakbeat hardcore and the Cardiacs."

This One's For You
, the fourth full-length release from Portsmouth, UK's Christopher Reeves (aka The Gasman), is perhaps his most rewarding work to date. On this follow-up to 2005's
Multiplex
(released by Canada's Sublight label), Reeves embellishes other-worldly electronica with clusters of organ-like chords and slabs of murky reverb. In the cross-fire of wavering grooves and humming tape loops one can imagine giant insects being poked and prodded by alien machines designed to extract their unusual sounds. Reeves works meticulously to create this eerie ambience, patching samples together on tinkered PCs and feeding reel-to-reel tapes through his laptop.
This One's For You
is genuinely refreshing audio for the ears."

Catalog #:
ZIQ 171CD
"Portsmouth's The Gasman delivers his most consistent work to date. Is it a concept album on love? Who knows? Who's asking? These twelve beautiful electronic nuggets sound clearer and smoother than ever before. Christopher Reeves is refining the Gasman mode. 'White' sounds white, and 'Mint' sounds mint. Incredible electronic loveliness."
