‘We ended with those two versions of Cham, which are as often when I work with the Sex Tags man the result of live takes almost unedited. We also add some percussions from Shadi Khries and we recorded two versions of the same track within hours. One being bass driven with a lot of psychedelic noises and the other one more space-techno. Our adventures continues. Here is another slice of spaced out music. Hope you’ll enjoy.’
Now available on vinyl at long last, a crucial retrieval from the revered Chain Reaction imprint, run by Basic Channel.
Originally out in 1999, on CD only, dedicated to the memory of Stephen Lawrence, this is an utterly assured, engrossing, deep blend of dubwise techno and Detroit-schooled ambient.
Beautifully presented, Basic Channel style, in a debossed sleeve constructed from recycled grey board, printed black on both sides. With a card for digital download. Remastered by Rashad Becker.
Warmly recommended.
Deadly 1990 outings by the This Heat drummer — grooving, stripped, moody assassinators — with Versions by Maxmillion Dunbar and JD Twitch, evoking Photek, Premier, Giallo, Belgian acid…
Knockout Larry Heard; deep and soulful. It carries you back through the years… and away.
