HOT AIR (UK)

CD
Price:

Catalog #:
HOT AIR008
"Hard to pin down... Matt Wand returns under yet another pseudonym, with a collection of tracks roughly hewn from the very rock beneath us... On the face of it this could be popular music, but popular music made by banging large rocks together, recording it into a computer and grinding the numbers until they resemble rough diamonds mixed with gravel. This is definitely 'Missing Link' music... somehow succeeding in bringing together Primitive Space Rock, 'the Cut-up Beat Technique', Laptop Distress & the Archeology of Ancient Video Games and more importantly getting them all to talk to each other. This record is possibly also the missing link between the Totally Misunderstood pioneering past of Stock, Hausen & Walkman and the Absolute Unrepentant Future of Mr Wand. As the title
Carbondating
suggests this album has many layers of compressed noise history, it sounds quite Unforgivingly Modern but every once in a while a small piece of the Barbaric Musical past will erupt upwards and present itself for the listener to test his Anachronism Spotting capabilities. This is the Anal Record Shop Assistants perfect filing Nightmare, should it go under 'Avant Rock'? or 'BIP-HOP'? or 'Nihil-Reggae'? or 'Electronic Cranial Beat Jugglers'? or perhaps 'Techno-Primitive Hoe-Down' well perhaps 'New Releases' would do for a start and after that just file under 'Hot Air' the home of the unclassifiable and the un-reviewable."

"First album from this combo, a more beat-obsessed take on SH&W (with whom they share member one: Andrew Sharpley) style anti-context and random cultural spatter (Read: Plunderphonics for the freak-beat set). While trying to refrain from using the word 'wacky', I've decided that it's probably the most apt tag one can place hereon. A decidedly different approach from the more dance-floor concerned end of breakbeat sonics. And a sense of humor (the track 'F.D.' chronicles the media-misconceptions of sample-based music through various timestretched host-idiot-comments before breaking into the chorus of the 'A-Team' theme). If any of you are confused on how to turn a 'musical spoons' record into a tearing drum n' bass steppa, look no further." -- Hrvatski.

"Mr Vomit Lunch takes his big stick to Stock H & Walkman and then to Dummy Run and beats them to an unrecognizable pulp, then SHW retaliate by making Vomit Lunch take a lead role in an unsane Bollywood soundtrack climax. Yes, its remixes."

"Birmingham is in fact Nic Birmingham, one half of the Surfcore Sample Rupture Duo otherwise known as Dummy Run. Dummy Run are famous for remixing Parasite Eve and various other Vid Game theme tunes and are often mistaken for being Stock, Hausen and Walkman without the OAP bus passes. This five track EP release sees Birmingham getting round the back of the fridge, pulling all the wires out and sampling the results, the tracks have the same manic, itchy rhythmic momentum as Dummy Run but with a more broken electronic toy sound. A genre busting , electronic crossroads classic!"

Catalog #:
HOT AIR004
"A very fine 14 track CD by Mr. Matt Haines, this is nothing like the 7" release
Why Do Birds Sing?
also out on Hot Air, it contains NO whistling and instead sways back and forth between highly electrical surge spike rhythms and perfect serene electro-dub, quite often within the same track. If sometimes the more abstract noises in this release sound vaguely familiar that's because Matt is also responsible for much of Atom's (Rather Interesting) Kyma patch programming, ie; he made a lot of those weird digital sounds for him... Not to worry the rest of the CD has a catchiness all its own, sound so clean you can eat off it and more rhythmic twists, morphs and mutations per track than the wildlife surrounding Sellafield. Definitely a Brain of two halves."

$11.00
Catalog #:
HOTCD4LUNCH
1998 production of tracks by Japanese artist Hironori Murakami, available as a quaint little 3" CD or 10" picture disc vinyl release. Cover art for both is quite gnarly, proving pornography is very much legal in the UK domain after all. Harsh cut-up noise-arrays at full volume & speed.

Catalog #:
HOTEDALE 011CD
"South of a disused caravan site (elevation 225) and north of a sheep wash (elevation 238) is a point where electrified wiring descends from a hilltop and meets. Mr. Harrison has been recording at this focus in varying weather conditions over several years using only piezo transducers and portable MD equipment. By this simple technique the entire hillside is turned into a microphone." -- liner notes. "All I really know about this Richard Harrison bloke is that he's some sort of ad-hoc Alan Lamb, attaching piezo microphones to discarded wiring in the countryside, recording resultant 'alien' transmissions on MiniDisc machines & compiling them for future broadcast/release. SERIOUSLY tweaked stuff, similarities to Lamb evident or not (I'd take 1 field-recorder of acoustic/electric phenomena over 200 'Autechretians'); 'wind-in-the-willows' style spookery, frequencies of sub-timpanic amplitude, ghost-voice/chain rattling, alarm-clock buzzing, interference-pulse, all presented in some off-center fidelia, ranging from very distant to 'in the room. Don't turn around...'." -- Hrvatski. Limited stock.
