Release Notes :
Beelines For Working Bees is a 12" that sees four of the most innovative artists
in electronic music rethinking and reconfiguring the strands of Lucys
forthcoming album Wordplay for Working Bees. The relationship between the point
of origin and the end point is not a prescribed one: the beelines of Tommy Four
Seven, James Ruskin, Peter Van Hoesen and Truss return to the hive of Lucys
album taking the most experimental and cross-pollinated paths. SA008 acts as a
case in point for techno, melding and fusing genre boundaries to reveal new
hybrid sounds. On A1 Tommy Four Seven takes Tof and teases its ethereal whispers
into a strong, steely structure for the plumped beats to lie upon. From one of
Lucys most complex structures he creates malevolently broken techno. James
Ruskins A2 takes Bein the albums most 4/4 cut and fortifies it, seasoning with
snuffling snaps of multi-layered pads. He refuses to be hemmed in by genre,
slipping across borders to create an utterly distinct track. B1 sees Lav taken
head-on by Peter Van Hoesen. Its transformed into intelligent prime time
material, loaded with iridescence and bristling with dubbed-out sub frequencies.
To close, Truss moulds his fearsome bass lines around the obscure and prickly
top lines of Eon unleashing an analogue scream. SA008 presents a utopian vision
thats puckering at the seams. The artists chose the tracks that they wished to
remix and fused their own defined sound identities with that of Stroboscopic
Artefacts. In anticipation of Lucys debut album this is a delicious foretaste of
whats to come and a cryptic insight into four of technos leading minds. Mastered
