*EXTREMELY LIMITED PACKAGE HOUSED WITH A PRINTED MOTEER
BEERMAT! EACH COPY INDIVIDUALLY NUMBERED AND LIMITED TO A
MEASLY 200 COPIES FOR THE WORLD!* The second in the Moteer
label's limited series comes to us from Thendof, one half of
the very excellent Clickits. The sound Thendof make fuses
together elements of trademark Remote Viewer style clipped
home listening and an other-worldly percolated jazz reduction
that brings to mind Jan Jelinek's supreme "Loop-Finding Jazz
Records" album. The result is both engrossing and somehow
timeless, a submerged, almost aquatic variant of modern
classical and electronic traditions that lull you in with
delicate, sometimes barely audible motif's that take more and
more prominence with each repeated listen. There's also much
reference to the instrumental prowess of Hood's
'quiet-LOUD-quiet' aesthetic, except with the LOUD bits
stripped away, leaving you with nothing but the glowing embers
of long forgotten melodies and half-remembered songs for
company. The result is an understated and immensely beautiful
collection of tracks that you will adore if you're a fan of
any of the aforementioned artists, or indeed the likes of
Harold Budd, Porn Sword Tobacco, Manyfingers, Klimek or
Colleen. The last Mobeer release sold out in a weekend, don't
hang about if you want a copy of this wonderful little album.
ESSENTIAL PURCHASE.
norman:
The second release on Moteer's Mobeer label is by Then Dof
(Jonny from Clickits)and it is an intriguing little 3" CD of
dub drenched, sparse organic sounding electronics. Lots of
little details, clicks and pops with an ethereal quality. The
percussion is nice and wooden sounding. Track 4 is
particularly melancholy with a real introspective feel. You
can almost sing along to the fifth track with its infectious
little thing happening and lush use of effects. Pretty cool
disc in sealed envelope with beermat and bloody limited and
all. Oh and you get a thing where you can download 5 extra
tracks.
What the label says:
mobeer::002
artist :: then dof
title :: none (no title)
release notes ::
6 track cd
5 track download
hot(ish) on the heels of mobeer number one comes, predictably,
mobeer number two. gone is the superstar remix policy of the
first release, replaced instead by jonny russell one half of
east lancashires second most succsessful electronica duo,
clickits. for this release russell has adopted the then dof
moniker and conclusively proves that a move away from
accrington to the artististic rockpool of the cornish coast
has done nothing to diminish his sombre electronic impulses.
russell once went into the office of moteers uk distibutors
demanding the remaining copies of the clickits debut 12'' so
that he could burn them. he was serious. if that doesn't make
you buy this 3'' cd of seefeel meets prime skam via whoever on
valium under a table or something then nothin will.
act quick ltd to 225 copies housed on a 3'' cd placed on
artworked beermats in a hand printed and cut paper sleeve and
then popped into a individually stamped wages envelope, the
other one sold out in a weekend.
