Very very weird, ungoogleable private release showcasing a range of artists located in the High Wycombe area in the early 90’s. I’d love to know the idea behind this one but there’s only the ambiguous text on the cover to go off, which describes a group of musician mates, all evidently with very different tastes and references, getting together to create a conceptual masterpiece. It’s the sort of tangent-taking LP that could only ever be conceived in studio downtime (Scott Fraser’s Architecture or Trance Balance from Masik Janos spring to mind), off-the-clock, and without the overbearing eyes of a commercial label owner worrying about running overtime. The group pull in different directions throughout (often comically so), but when they get it right there are more than a few moments – the well-crafted Philip Glass styled minimal percussion of the opener and wonky yet motorik art-rock pomp that lands towards the end of the A-side. The other side opens in radio-scanning, waltzing sound-collage before descending into a bouncing, juddering synth-pop burner that feels right out of Hosono’s playbook, followed by a slo-mo, dream-vision of proto ambient techno with silky, wilding chords. Slipped in-between these moments of magic find odd pub-rock, poorly executed prog and bizarre spoken word experiments that fail to make the grade, but there’s more than enough gold on here to make up for it.. (Mint / New – unplayed deadstock – with insert).
