A Mountain of One
A Mountain Of One love the 70s, only instead of punk
and disco it's to the proggy and dreamy, elegant yet
enervated West Coast 70s of the Floyd and Fleetwood
Mac that they aspire.
A Mountain Of One come from the world of underground
techno, being studio hounds and beat-masters, and they're
familiar with the demands of clubs and dancers. But
the music they make as A Mountain Of One would only
have value in discotheques with beds: it has already
been tagged by those canny folk at Vice magazine as
"future Balearic classics". Recalling the
experimental dance outfits of the early 90s such as
Ultramarine and the Orb, whose epic, exploratory ambient
techno was steeped in krautrock and the "Canterbury
Scene" of Soft Machine et al. Early-70s fetishists,
their songs, often 10 minutes long, are slow and meanderingly
melodic, and their ambition is to make the 21st century
Dark Side Of The Moon. Their lead singer has the tremulous
voice of a latter-day Bryan Ferry and their music is
epic with pretensions towards the elegiac and exquisite.
