-Release Notes:
Since their 2003 debut 'Trouble At Mill', Pendle Coven have produced seven
exceptional, restless twelves for the Modern Love label, not including work
undertaken by one half of the recording duo under the MLZ moniker and a handful
of projects produced and delivered under the radar. Typified by an inability to
rest on their laurels, Pendle have explored areas of Techno and electronic
music as diverse as their interests, taking in early-90's style 'ardkore,
drone, Basic-Channelisms, Drexciyan electro and warehouse minimalism along the
way. This debut album features 7 exclusive and previously unreleased tracks as
well as 5 killers from the 'ú100 a metre', 'marriage of convenience', 'hex' and
'Iamnoman' EP's, spanning the last 5 years. The sound of 'Self Assessment'
opens with the disembodied guitar treatment of 'Aged Drone', paving the way for
the stripped menace of 'Iamnoman' - the title track of their most recent
vinyl-only release. From there we drop in on the staggered proto-dubstep of
'Unit 6', an alternate string-driven version of the airy stepper 'Uncivil
Engineering', the immense stripped reverberance of 'Optimal, pure bass pressure
of "MVO Chamber" and, finally, the towering chord crescendos of the
Berlin-inspired Exigen. All the tracks here have been lovingly honed and
mastered at the hands of Dubplates and Mastering in Berlin, for added bass
depth and space. Essential Purchase.
-Additional NFO Notes:
Here is the proper due gEm release is in single track and it is an unmixed cd!
Enjoy!
