found some exciting news on the astralwerks website
that i though might be of interest to listmembers:
Wagon Christ is one of the projects by UK electronic
wunderkid Luke Vibert. His first projects as Wagon
Christ on the now-defunct UK label Rising High gained
him acclaim as one of the more innovative electronic
artists in the early 90's alongside Aphex Twin, µ-Ziq,
and Autechre.with his unique combination of ambient
sounds, jazz, and manipulated beats. He has recorded
under a variety of other pseudonyms for several labels
including Rephlex (as Vibert/Simmonds), Blue Planet
(as Plug, licensed to Nothing Records in the US), and
Mo' Wax (under his own name). A first EP, The Power
of Love, will be released in June on Astralwerks UK. It
will feature one LP track and 4 non-lp tracks exclusive to
this EP. June will see a Luke Vibert remix of
Pitchshifter's "Genius" on the AMP2 collection In late
July/early August a second single will be released with
one album track and two non-LP tracks. The album,
entitled Tally Ho!, siphons influences as wide as disco,
hip-hop, early breakbeat/rave, drum & bass, and jazz
into Wagon Christ's own sieve and comes out with
something truly special and different. This is expected
to be released at the end of August, beginning of
September.
