We are delighted to announce details of
our latest release, The Green Kingdom
æPrismaticÆ. Mike Cottone (The Green
Kingdom) utilises a similar musical
palette as can be heard on last yearÆs
acclaimed æTwig And TwineÆ CD and once
again 'Prismatic' is expertly mastered
by Taylor Deupree (12k/Line).
On this outing Cottone ventures deeper
into the landscape of The Green Kingdom
with a collection of beautifully
crafted, intricately detailed,
organic/electronic instrumentals.
Sitting comfortably amidst the field of
electro-acoustic music production, what
makes Cottone's work stand apart from
his contemporaries is the warmth,
emotion and true understanding of melody
and harmony so evidently on display
within these expansive arrangements.
There is a real sense of space and depth
to this collection which filters
elements of dub, techno, folk and
electronic experimentation through the
prism of processed guitars, strings,
bells and other sampled instruments.
Recalling Susumu Yokota, Shuttle 358,
The Boats, Harold Budd and even vintage
era The Durutti Column on the albumÆs
cornerstone track, æWetlandsÆ. On tracks
such as the sun-drenched æRadiance
ReflectedÆ and æBonfire (tec)Æ, alluring
melodies are underpinned by subtle beat
constructions. Whilst on æThe Largest
Creature That Has Ever ExistedÆ, deep,
subby drones plumb the depths as
finespun rhythms and delicate melodies
swell, rise and break the surface.
Equal parts brooding and beguiling,
optimistic and uplifting, an album that
is perfectly timed to welcome the
lengthening shadows of early autumn
while casting a wistful glance back at
the last gasps of summer. These are
adventures in modern composition that
never lose sight of the importance of
melody, harmony, structure and rhythm.
Minimalism at its most expressive, lush
and emotional.
A limited number of 'Prismatic' will be
issued with an additional bonus CD of
remixes from the likes of bvdub, The
Boats, Part Timer, Insecto, H.A.M., Yuri
Lugovskoy, Northerner, Fieldhead, The
Declining Winter and Inch-time. These
artists take the original compositions
into some unexpected and exciting new
musical territories.
