We Are All One, In The Sun: A Tribute To Robbie Basho

Alt Vinyl AV-030

LP
£14.99


Vinyl edition of this excellent tribute to the American Primitive genius of the late Robbie Basho from a bunch of players with a deep connection to the source including Glenn Jones, Steffen Basho-Junghans, Helena Espvall (Ghost/Espers), Meg Baird (Espers), Arborea, Fern Knight, Cian Nugent and Rahim AlHaj. Buncha female vocal tracks are particularly choice here, highlighting Basho’s gift as a highly idiosyncratic singer as well as a visionary instrumentalist. Dedicated to the memory of Jack Rose. 180g vinyl, edition of 300 copies. 

Control Unit
In A Frame

Alt Vinyl AV-043

LP
£17.99


Second full-length album from the duo of Ninni Morgia and Silvia Kastel in an edition of only 275 copies: Control Unit wrestle post-Industrial form from cracked electronics, synth, guitar and vocals, with the kind desolate, heavily modulated form of Throbbing Gristle or even Kluster given a couple of fistfuls of thud. Indeed, this record feels like a light year from their last one already, with the kind of blunt repeat chord guitar psych/electronic overload associated with hybrid avantists like Tunnel Canary or Chrome up against eerie female vocals that comes over like Dome’s “Cruel When Complete” denuded of anything but tongue and trauma. Some of the electronics are so brutally and crudely manhandled that you would almost have to look towards something like Michel Waisvisz’s Crackle side on FMP for a parallel for this kind of bleakly a-musical vision. A great combo of No Wave rock, cracked electronics and austere Industrial atmospherics. Recommended.
