SVET OZVENY 2xMC Dark Star DS105/6 deleted reissue
duration: 79'17" 1.
Ozveny Suita 21'25"
Recorded
at Dark Star Studio (March-April 1984). Steve Freeman: synths, guitars, effects, vocals, glass. review... In the early 1980s we were discovering lots of excellent
East European prog. Not that such music is so relevant here, except that we
discovered the Czech words "Svet Ozveny" translated as "World
Of Echoes", a conceptual idea we were working on at the time, so
"Svet Ozveny" became the title! The original release was a double c60 set, yet we soon
realised we'd over stretched it all too much, and then remixed it as a more
cohesive c90. For this CD issue though, I went back again to the original
masters, neated it up a little, and judiciously (without truncating anything
essential) condensed to just under 80 minutes. A landmark album, exploring the use of echo machine in 4
major works, from the cosmic through to the industrial, the kind of Nurse
With Wound meets musique concrete of "Ozveny Suita" opening with odd
combinations of the melodic and pure Dada, followed by two spacious sprawls,
and the eclectic, often intense "Collage", ending with the manic
destructive "Strach". This was the big leap on that became the groundwork for
much of what we have done since, although at this time we spent hours and
even days layering and bouncing, building up these pieces, whereas nowadays
we'd probably do it live! Versions... |
