│ ┌─────────────────────────────[ ReleaseNotes ]───────────────────────────┐ │
│ : : │
│ Former Cabaret Voltaire member Richard H. Kirk is widely regarded as │
│ contemporary techno's busiest man, a distinction he's picked up through │
│ a release schedule that keeps discographers sweating and diehard fans │
│ near bankruptcy. No doubt, that work ethic developed during Kirk's time │
│ with CV, who, in their nearly 20 years together, released as many albums │
│ and even more EPs. Kirk's not far behind as a solo artist, splitting │
│ just over half that total between his three ongoing projects -- Sandoz, │
│ Electronic Eye, and works released under his own name -- as well as │
│ collaborations with British DJ Parrot (as Sweet Exorcist) and heaps of │
│ singles and EPs. While the Sheffield-based Cabaret Voltaire began as an │
│ electronics-and-tape-loops outfit with obvious ties to other English │
│ post-industrial experimentalists like Throbbing Gristle, Einsturzende │
│ Neubauten, and Chrome, the group eventually penetrated a pop-group │
│ context while retaining the edge of dystopia and isolation at the core │
│ of their earlier work. Kirk's solo work has evolved along similar lines, │
│ although he works more toward integrating technology with more │
│ humanitarian concerns. His stylistic palette -- mostly house, early │
│ techno, and ambient -- and the inclusion of tracks on compilations │
│ released by the Warp label have pegged Kirk as an evangelist of │
│ "intelligent techno," but his solo work actually comes off closer to │
│ sample-heavy ambient house and techno. His affection for African and │
│ tribal percussion and thematics connect his various works in obvious │
│ ways, and many of his albums have been reissued domestically. │
│ (allmusic.com) │
│ │
│ (Ripper's note: This series of albums by Sandoz is representative of │
│ Richard H Kirk's foray into dubby chillout sounds. Sandoz certainly │
│ keeps sounds reminiscent of his solo work and Cabaret Voltaire's later │
│ work, but the dub "riddim" is prevalent here. Highly recommended for │
│ anyone who likes Timewarp, Loop Guru, or any of the so-called "ambient │
│ psychedelic" genres. Kirk is most likely the founder of this sound.) │

│ │
│ As time goes by, the world matures. PsyCZ has matured and the scene has │
│ matured. PsyCZ started releasing in VBR over two years ago, and was met │
│ with skepticism. As time went by, more and more realised that VBR is │
│ superiour to cbr 192. Finally, now in 2004, VBR is allowed by the scene. │
│ PsyCZ will also in 2004 continue to bring you the finest psychedelic │
│ trance music from around the world, as we have since 2001. │
