Never Mind The Abstention, Here's The Semi-Automatic
Heavy Tapes No Cat
Cassette
£3.99
A series of bewitching automatic electronic settings scored for a self-built ensemble of circuitry that spontaneously generates bullfrog croaks, modulated percussive twizz and slow tunnels of clatter that manages to sound both non-contemporary and a perfectly concise summation of various 20th century avant garde modes, from the self-regulating Fluxus orchestras through the kind of splat-punk basement moves of Nautical Almanac et al. Side A features both studies for the title track as well as the fully-realised version, while the B side features "Studies For A New Trio". Comes in the gorgeous new Heavy Tapes (run by Mike and Maya of Double Leopards, Religious Knives et al) packaging with letterpressed custom fabricated cardstock tape covers which wrap around and tuck into themselves and black ink on white cardstock artwork by Maya. Just about the most beautiful run of tapes you're ever likely to fondle.
