BAKED GOODS DISTRIBUTION - NEW RELEASES ? WEEK : 25 / 02 / 2002
VARIOUS : Music Volume Two ? Benbecula MLP (UK) Benbecula 12
This is the second label sampler from Scotland?s excellent Benbecula
imprint. Following Music Volume 1 and the critically acclaimed mini LP from
Mikael Romanenko, Benbecula are back to give us an idea of what they have in
store for us over the coming months. Eight tracks are featured here, the
artists forming a blend of known and unknown talent : Christ kicks off
proceedings - being an artist who has experimented with and constructed
electronic music for quite a few years, Christ was an important player in
the emerging Scottish electronic scene of the late 90?s and has a writing
credit on Boards of Canada?s sought after Twoism EP!! The track featured
here - Moxley Moy provides us with a first clue as to what he has been doing
with himself since that time ? the answer being a glorious infusion of
haunting piano keys and the most subtle form of electronic integration.
Truly classic stuff; expect a debut solo release very soon. Joni is up next,
an artist reported to have a museum-capacity collection of vintage analogue
synths, Too Stupid breaks down any generic categorisation and instead
organically forms a future Bossa classic. Little introduction needed ?
listen and be hooked for a lifetime. Seriously sublime. Mr Projectile, known
from his work for the Toytronic label, gives up another click masterpiece
with Absorption, a track that shuffles into being with some deliciously
crunchy beats and buttered pops, together with a melody you?ll recognise
from sometime in your unconscious formative years. Clubbed To Death nod
towards the 80?s synth revival with the edible Junk - this harks back to the
nu romantic era but does so with a darker edge, the breakdown so epic you?ll
wish the track had words so you could do more then just hum along to it ?
and rest assured...you will! Frog Pocket kicks off the B-side and is the
work of a dedicated traditional fiddle and thrash metal devotee...though,
rest assured, even our beloved frog has opened up his heart and allows us to
find another mesmerising electronic lullaby of the most spine-tingling
proportions. East Of Insanity achieve the impossible and manage to fuse
cinemascopic electronic arrangements with some acoustic work, a solitary
guitar duets with the scenery and the result paints in hues of blue and dusk
before your eyes as you listen. Luscious. Marcia Blaine School For Girls
will be huge and will do so for reasons other than just having the most
fantastic name ever to have graced the electronic microcosm. This is
developed electronic music in its most crushing form ? tweaked, full, moving
and devastating. Listen up. All that?s left is the final track...the artist
wishes to remain anonymous, but you?ll have heard of him before. After all,
what?s life without a little mystery?? Strictly limited edition and
alltogether rather deliciously wonderful. Buy!
