Vernal Crossing
is
Rapoon
's fourth album, originally released in 1993 by Staalplaat. One of the most interesting records released by
Robin Storey
(founding member of the pioneering industrial group
zoviet-france
) on vinyl now for the first time. A magic balance between percussion and electronics, creating mind-bending tapestries of minimalistic patterns and quasi-melodic drones fused with occasional doses of well-placed white noise. An approach much in debt to his 12-year stint with zoviet-france. It paints a gossamer diaphanous drifting veil of mood over the top. Other than some moody loops and psychoacoustic dimensions, it sounds authentic -- hardly a trace of crude electronics or sampling. The drumming -- in soft tones rather than hard hitting ones -- does nothing to intrude on the passive mood. The overall atmosphere does not really change throughout the recording making it a cool, pacifying atmosphere while having the madcap tempo which would be very easy to dance to. This edition includes a new track called "Total Crossing", edited/constructed by
Colin Potter
, who has overseen the remastering of the record. A deep drone trance/meditation edit that blew Robin's own mind (and ours!). The successful experiment explained by Colin: "I imported all the masters to my DAW to make a mock-up of the LP and initially they were all together at the beginning of the multitrack, before I spaced them out in the record's running order. And I thought... what would it sound like with them all playing at once?"
