█░█▒ Featuring members of Pan Sonic & Mum! All orders ▒█░█
█░█▒ will also receive a bonus CD of SOC member ▒█░█
█░█▒ Phillippe Petit collaborating with Aidan Baker, ▒█░█
█░█▒ Lydia Lunch, Justin Broadrick, Eugene Robinson & ▒█░█
█░█▒ more. ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ This is a collaboration between Angel (containing ▒█░█
█░█▒ members of Mum and Pan Sonic) and Strings Of ▒█░█
█░█▒ Consciousness. This dense and droney construction ▒█░█
█░█▒ echoes platinum reflections with warm fluidity and ▒█░█
█░█▒ delicate detail. The more attention you'll bestow ▒█░█
█░█▒ on that record, the more unsuspected new paths ▒█░█
█░█▒ you'll be invited to wander about. ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ This is an intricacte and imaginative soundtrack ▒█░█
█░█▒ with several layers of sound, gathering both ▒█░█
█░█▒ organic and sonic elements to assemble a ▒█░█
█░█▒ post-industrial sound structure. The latter will ▒█░█
█░█▒ give life to a noisy magma where unexpected clicks ▒█░█
█░█▒ stumble over interferences, where digital accidents ▒█░█
█░█▒ happen and where drones, acoustic resonance fill ▒█░█
█░█▒ the space in time. A multitude of digital notes ▒█░█
█░█▒ will slowly stretch to reach a dark-grey chaos, a ▒█░█
█░█▒ pure and clean big bang echoing and calling lost ▒█░█
█░█▒ sound memories. ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ ANGEL: ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ Ilpo VΣisΣnen (Finland), worked with Ultra 3, Sin° ▒█░█
█░█▒ and is half of world famous duo Pan Sonic ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ Dirk Dresselhaus (Germany) releases under the ▒█░█
█░█▒ pseudonym SchneiderTM who are signed to City Slang ▒█░█
█░█▒ and Mute America. ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ Hildur Gudnadottir plays cello for Mum, Johannes ▒█░█
█░█▒ Johannsson, Stillupsteypa, BJ Nilsen, and has a ▒█░█
█░█▒ prominent feature on the recent Pan Sonic CD. à As ▒█░█
█░█▒ Angel they have released albums on BiP_Hop and ▒█░█
█░█▒ Oral. And now signed to Mego. ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ ----- ▒█░█
█░█▒ The music crafted by Strings of Consciousness could ▒█░█
█░█▒ appropriately characterized as stream of ▒█░█
█░█▒ consciousness: improvisation being the musical ▒█░█
█░█▒ equivalent of the literary technique. Based around ▒█░█
█░█▒ the core of a string quartet, the international ▒█░█
█░█▒ collective, instigated by Philippe Petit, join ▒█░█
█░█▒ themselves with a revolving cast of fellow musical ▒█░█
█░█▒ travelers. This time they team up with Angel, who ▒█░█
█░█▒ began in 1999 as duo between Ilpo Vaisanen (Pan ▒█░█
█░█▒ Sonic) and Dirk Dresselhaus (Schneider TM). In 2004 ▒█░█
█░█▒ Icelandic multi-instrumentalist of M·m fame, Hildur ▒█░█
█░█▒ Gudnadottir, was recruited. The result has become a ▒█░█
█░█▒ vehicle on which my own consciousness can travel, ▒█░█
█░█▒ moving from the ominous and hyperdriven sounds of ▒█░█
█░█▒ deep space to wander amidst the ancient ruins of a ▒█░█
█░█▒ moonswept world. ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ Music like this can be hallucinatory, and while the ▒█░█
█░█▒ sounds of ô#1ö left me with a feeling of vertigo ▒█░█
█░█▒ that I was afraid would not go away, as a side ▒█░█
█░█▒ effect it was minimal. The first lengthy song, ▒█░█
█░█▒ close to 22 minutes, is built on the bedrock of a ▒█░█
█░█▒ long sustained tone that pricked at the back my ▒█░█
█░█▒ skull. A distorted guitar soon joins in and its ▒█░█
█░█▒ strings sound frayed. Blistering on the first ▒█░█
█░█▒ listen, its heavy wall of layered fuzz was like an ▒█░█
█░█▒ itchy sweater only put on during winter's coldest ▒█░█
█░█▒ days; at first it is uncomfortable and the need to ▒█░█
█░█▒ scratch soon follows. Strings of Consciousness' ▒█░█
█░█▒ oscillating lines of noise are very warm, crackling ▒█░█
█░█▒ with subtlety and hidden nuances. ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ Inside the push and pull of wind rushing through an ▒█░█
█░█▒ accordion I can hear the explosion of air on a ▒█░█
█░█▒ rocket ship as the fuel is ignited. Solar flares ▒█░█
█░█▒ must have interfered with the recording equipment; ▒█░█
█░█▒ I can hear them as heavy noise squalls bleeding ▒█░█
█░█▒ through the speakers. Somehow the background ▒█░█
█░█▒ radiation of the universe has been made audible. ▒█░█
█░█▒ Tossed about on the rocking waves of this cosmic ▒█░█
█░█▒ ocean, I am eventually pulled in beyond the event ▒█░█
█░█▒ horizon. The music keys me into a superstring ▒█░█
█░█▒ theory of everything, and I am born into a new ▒█░█
█░█▒ parallel world. ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ While ô#1ö is beautiful in the way that it makes my ▒█░█
█░█▒ nerve endings feel burned raw, ô#2ö by comparison ▒█░█
█░█▒ has a more palliative effect. On this track the ▒█░█
█░█▒ accordion has a more pronounced presence, as I ▒█░█
█░█▒ follow its echoes and get lost in labyrinthine ▒█░█
█░█▒ ruins of sound. Holographic guitars emerge from ▒█░█
█░█▒ hidden grottoes, electronic bleeps twitter and ▒█░█
█░█▒ swarm before being overtaken by deftly flanged, ▒█░█
█░█▒ panning chords. Chains rattle, riding in over the ▒█░█
█░█▒ high metallic drone of a Tibetan singing bowl. ▒█░█
█░█▒ Percussive clangs dance with raucous abandon before ▒█░█
█░█▒ things settle down, all carried in on a balmy ▒█░█
█░█▒ Mediterranean breeze. I know I will be returning to ▒█░█
█░█▒ the landscapes conjured in this 18 minute song ▒█░█
█░█▒ again and again. It was my favorite of the two. By ▒█░█
█░█▒ the end of the record I feel purged and uplifted, ▒█░█
█░█▒ as if I had passed through a storm while making a ▒█░█
█░█▒ pilgrimage to the temple of sound. ▒█░█
