I'm really really proud of this release, I think it turned out beautifully. Great side, Derek! It's like pygmalion era slowdive, as covered by mark mcguire, being played over basinskis of the lid. Kyle and me both think this our best split. I love the part on your side, in the first song, when everything drops out 4:33 in and it just leaves all the harmonic guitar stuff, it almost reminds me of Derek Bailey, how he'd always stop and just hit all these harmonics. Then when the drone comes back in, oh man... Just the idea of an all-harmonics song is really mindblowing. The next track is the most robotrip song ever made! Topnotch guitar playing, Derek -- what are you tuned to?
As for the Robe. side, track 2 has tape recorded sounds of the ocean ran through a pitchshifter.. I also sample the ocean on my sk-1 and play it through some effects in parts.... track 3 is my first and only saxophone playing attempt on a Robe. song. It sounds like a trombone, but notice there's no sliding. It's just a sax pitchshifted, I think I might have time stretched it a bit.
Hope everyone here likes. Slavo, Pauly, Batreleaser, Glice, Dead-Air, al, etc... I know y'all want it!
