│ Voafose, despite the usual rumours is actually a real person - │
│ Jeremy Simmonds, who is better known as one half of Boymerang (with │
│ Graham Sutton) and for collaborating with Luke Vibert on the Vibert │
│ Simmonds album 'Weirs'. Now that's out of the way we can get on to │
│ the record itself which shows itself up to be something of a real │
│ oddity for Rephlex. Not that any Rephlex record ever plays it safe, │
│ but Voafose's self-titled debut is something truly strange and │
│ beautiful. Culled from recordings made over the last 20 years, │
│ these 20 tracks explore the outer reaches of experimental │
│ electronic music; drone-based ambient, synthesized │
│ experimentations, musique concrete and tape manipulation. It's not │
│ as hard to listen to as you'd think either, the tracks are │
│ sequenced in such a way that it rarely jars too much or lulls you │
│ too far into a state of blissful security. Opening with a piece of │
│ tape manipulated synth/sampler work we are very quickly thrown into │
│ 'Quard' which shows off Simmonds's clear skills with the humble │
│ synthesizer. Closest possibly to Delia Derbyshire's work with the │
│ BBC Radiophonic workshop, Simmonds builds up a haunting │
│ science-fiction atmosphere using a detuned drone and light, │
│ chattering voices. Interspersed throughout the disc are the spliced │
│ and edited voices of television and radio - whether it is a weather │
│ broadcast or a feature about hairdresser Charles Worthington │
│ nothing is safe from the reel-to-reel tape machine of Voafose. │
│ These excerpts of modern life add an abstract quality to the │
│ record, intentionally setting it alongside the work of Luc Ferrari │
│ for instance, whereas other more experimental pieces might be │
│ comparable to the work of Bernard Parmigianni. Clearly having an │
│ understanding of the history of electronic music and musique │
│ concrete Simmonds makes the album into much more than a mere │
│ re-treading of experimental music's past, instead it works as some │
│ kind of tribute or reverential look at a time when the sounds │
│ themselves were just as important as the compositions - something │
│ which today's younger musicians could do with thinking about. │
│ Recommended. │
