Glad that you enjoyed the Trawl track - I have been working under other
names for a while now and the Trawl project is a very modest alternative to
the more media friendly scanner material.
This remix was the first Trawl release after Colin Newman of Swim/Immersion
invited me to remix his work. I'm very pleased with this little piece and
had some quite positive feedback on it.
After a year a second Trawl record is now around, here's the details from
the press release:
Artist Trawl (Robin Rimbaud aka Scanner)
Title Wireless Rupture Mix (Bill Laswell)
Enter Exit Mix (Mick Harris)
Format 12" vinyl
Label Chreode
Cat no. CHRE 3142-01T
Dist Plastic Head
Release 19 Feb 1996
"Working with source material supplied by Robin 'Scanner' Rimbaud, here
working under the name of Trawl, legendary New York producer/musician Bill
Laswell (Material) and Mick Harris (Scorn) deliver their radical
re-interpretations of Rimbaud's sounds. Combining the trademark scanned
phone conversations with a blistering slab of dub tinged electronica
Laswell strips the track to a sixteen minute plus megafunk workout, whereas
Harris opts for a purer approach, creating a deliriously deranged variant
on trip hop melancholia."
It's a vinyl only release, around 500 copies being pressed as far as I'm
led to believe. There has been interest in releasing it on CD at some point
too with a whole bunch of more Trawl related material, which I'll post up
as soon as I ever hear word!
Thanks again for the interest...
Robin
