After his excellent Evil Weevil ep on Nature back in '97
and comp appearances for Mask, Leaf, Crink of Spleen,
and Nature, Vendor Refill (aka Tom Betts) returns with
his first album entitled "Stable." Stable contains eleven
tracks over two slabs of vinyl (thirteen tracks on the
cd). The styles represented on Stable range from crunchy
percussions over haunting atmospheres to subtle meldoies
over light breakbeats to gurgling electronics over lush synths
to even some retro bleepy sheffield-style polyrhymic
techno. But as a whole, lush melodies and slow breakbeats
are in abundance on Stable.
Comparisons to the sound of this ep range from Disjecta
to Funkstorung, to Fizzarum, Lexaunculpt, and especially
early-Autechre.
I guarantee you'll be hearing a plethora of kudos about
Stable when this one gets a full release. A very very nice
release!
btw: The release date for this one is listed as September
13th so it should be showing up at your favorite shops
soon.
