if you happen to live in the uk and tried recently to get a
dsl-connection, you probably have seen hell. no chance, at least in
the south of the country. this is where robin saville and antony
ryan kept a whole legion of telecommunications technicians busy
connecting their 2 studios with every inch of optic cable
available, no matter if floods or petrol shortages were in the
way.why set up a data network in between the 2 studios? one asks
because these two luddites, isan (compared to isdn, anything but
digital) love old analogue electronic devices to make music,
instruments from a time when synthesizers were developed in attics;
when air-conditioned offices, where hundreds of coding-slaves would
program new organ-presets, were still an unknown phenomena.
equipment you not only need screwdrivers for, but also furniture
polish. synthesizers and drumboxes which were affordable even when
they were manufactured and which rockbands with mellotrons and
modular walls laughed at. over the last few years, robin and antony
isan proved that these machines are capable of great things too.
with numerous releases - preferrably on 7" of course - they managed
to book reservations for front row seats in our record racks.
little melodies appear, dragging you along on their journey towards
dawn, slowly unveiling their real inner-self, and banishing evil
ghosts.'lucky cat' starts where 'salamander', isan's last album on
morr music, stopped. in a way. in reality, it is completely
different. well, you must listen to it for yourself. it is just
that everything sounds more self-evident, lighter, more familiar,
more personal and especially more lovable and adorable. it almost
sounds like the happy studio cat switched on all of the machines
and played, while antony and robin were out buying milk from the
cornershop. maybe this newly achieved greatness is due to the
recently installed internet connection? for the first time in their
lives, the old drumboxes and synthesizers, constantly fighting
against rheumatic detuning problems, can leave the studio, download
pictures of the moon, check out cambridge, or chat with their
retired japanese developers. such trips need bandwidth. it is time
to say thank you. like john peel, other radio gods and all the
record buyers wanted to thank isan for last year's 'salamander',
isan themselves want to thank their machines. the machines know
that they are responsible for isan's success. they know that they
haven't heard of another studio in which you get treated with
furniture polish once a week, a treatment they interpret as
positive. a broadband flatrate connection to the outside world,
however, was more than welcome. one can clearly hear this on 'lucky
cat'. even more 'man-on-the-moon-melodies', more
'rocket-lift-off-basses' and at least a gallon of this mysterious
isan-mixture which makes 'lucky cat' even more shimmering and warm.
when studio cats are happy and drumboxes can see the moon, nothing
can go wrong.
