Orthlorng Musork are proud to re-release Stephan Mathieu and
Ekkehard Ehlers' 2001 classic "Heroin", remastered and with an
additional CD/LP of remixes by an all star line up of artists.
First released on Brombron in 2001, "Heroin" was received with
widespread critical acclaim, described as "a wondrous journey into
a very warm, emotional soundspace" (Incursion Music Review) and "a
beautiful (if mutant) remnant of pop sentimentality" (Aquarius
Records). Recorded and produced in seven days between Christmas
2000 and the dawn of 2001, "Heroin" features a suite of recordings
produced in Extrapool's typical rock'n'roll rehearsal space (think
trash, beer cans and cigarette stubs - hence the title). Fifty
minutes of the warmest sounds imaginable, it bears all the
trademarks of its two collaborators: melodies distilled to their
essence buried in gently crackling soundscapes; slowly unfolding
musical journeys; and the unmistakably warm sounds of forgotten
technologies - old amplifiers, hissing softly.
Mathieu [Orthlorng Musork, Lucky Kitchen, Fallt] and Ehlers
[Staubgold, Mille Plateaux, Karaoke Kalk] have been slowly, but
surely establishing themselves as innovators within the fields of
music and sound design, their solo works have been rewarded with
generous praise and both have been shortlisted in numerous
playlists (Mathieu's "frequencyLib" being shortlisted in The Wire's
"2001 Rewind" list and Ehlers' "Plays" in 2002). "Heroin" affords
the opportunity to experience their talents combined and the
results are a rare joy to experience.
To accompany this re-release Mathieu and Ehlers have commissioned a
series of "extensions" (Brief: "Continue the "Heroin" story") by an
all star line up of artists including: Fennesz [Mego, Touch]; Kit
Clayton [Orthlorng Musork, Vertical Form, ~scape]; Akira Rabelais
[Ritornell, FΣllt]; and Nobukazu Takemura [Thrill Jockey,
Childisc]. Eight sublime tracks veering from the digital splatter
of Takemura's "Childs View" to the beautiful resonances of Fennesz'
"Codeine", five minutes of cascading guitar lines buried in his
trademark shimmering haze. Perfect. --Christopher Murphy, Fallt,
