NEW
NEW release from Cactus Island recordings, from Barry Leake
under his ' Weave ' guise with the album ' of the nature tone'
"deeptwit"
kicks it off with a bombdive into a puzzling array of stringy
lights and shape shifting globules of porous audio. Its
almost like wading through knee high treacle on a mission
to invade next doors marzipan factory, using your icing
wings and resonating feet to catch the warm air flows and
float effortlessly to your chosen destination. Warm and
beautifully programmed throughout. " Scuffing bow!"
then takes over with its playful mixture of scattering drumbeats
and space bending rattles, all carefully held together by
the sparkling melody which almost has an air of early Squarepusher
to it.
"Rheomode" then injects a sense of thought and
contemplation into the mixture with its stuttering blend
of synthetic robotic hair blowing in the wind, all stitched
together in a light pastry parcel with a striking drum clatter
which leaves a second smile on your face. Love it.
The
next track dedicated the late John Peel "Minera"
takes it down to the slow early morning activities we always
hear but rarely see. Packed with charming jewel like formations
which appear out of the dark chalky soil below and in turn,
refract in the warm sunlight, giving off a friendly message
to all those listening that everything is under control
and there is nothing to worry about, whilst "Lux Natura"
peels back the layers of metal between your rusty fingertips
and the technology belo, revealing a glowing and pulsating
world of intricate measure and protective film, that is
just begging to be explored. Special attention required.
"Unky"
is basically zips covered in tiny sharp hooks, which are
then carefully wrapped around circular dice and dropped
into liquid silver to create a brittle but full of life
creation that just pisses character rich life from every
pour...itttttsssss quality. "Spring" on the other
small shrivelled semi machined hand is a code cracking and
evolving ball of trouble from the very start. Plodding and
snapping its way down the closed off corridor this one is
upto no good, displaying a big furry smile on its face and
snowdrifts smothered in melted chocolate dragging along
behind, its just one big smiling capsule shaped formation
of personality with nothing but everything to do. Cool stuff.
This full length release from Weave is another very accomplished
release for the Resident Association series on Cactus Island
recordings. Just grab your energon fuelled rucksack and
jump backwards onto the double multicoloured rainbow that
Weave spin with this album.mDouble recommendation from Tesselate
on this one.
