Building upon the multi-genre musical narrative established
on last years critically acclaimed æFuture RockÆ album,
æElectric SoupÆ is the latest release from Portland, Oregon
based Strategy, aka multi-instrumentalist, programmer
and DJ Paul Dickow.
The compositions feature material initially road-tested
during his whistle-stop tour of the UK and France in
October 2007, which were then refined through a studio
process that fuses old-school analogue equipment with
modern digital sound design and manipulation.
It is this blend of the old and new, combined with PaulÆs
own retro-futurist outlook which makes the songs on
Electric Soup seem instantly familiar yet still unreservedly
unique.
From the Kosmiche of 'Unconventional Wisdom' through
to the final theremin squeals of 'Primordial Soup' (which
also features a guest appearance by Nudge cohort Brian
Foote on additional guitar and synth duties), the almost
dizzying array of textures, themes and musical motifs
blended into the 24 minute running time provides food
for the senses. Anyone for soup?
12" vinyl EP packaged in a full colour printed sleeve
designed by The Speeding Train.
Ltd edition of 450 copies.
