Approaching Invisible - Autotistic on Ltd CDR pressing



Anyone lucky enough to track down a copy of Mr Autotistic's previous masterwerk you will be little surprised, perhaps, at the playful mood his new opus finds our little sonic architect. Like Current 93 constructing a BBC Radiophonic workshop album, this album is full of the sounds & effects for that sci-fi film in your head, you thought was far too freaky to see the light of day

.Ever wondered about the missing Clanger's episode where vast amounts of weed are smoked by the little pink fellows, causing them to crawl on slo-mo thru the wreckage of their home then Trk 3 - 'Section' does the trick. Or the sound of a swing doubling as the electric chair. A vicious thrill before you go out in a cloud of smoke then Trk 11 'Hemp' is for you.

Elsewhere, we find ourselves within the bowels of machines. 'Latex Wonder' finds us as hostages to the original Space Invaders, their murderous electronic chatter, telling of our doom, or watching the bike race from 'Tron' on a terrible old TV with the channel constantly drifting.In & amongst these sonic experiments, we find some true visions of a vivid scenario, we could almost feel ourselves inside.

'Spatial Hyoscomine' is like a brooding description of Vietnam at night, distorted rotor sounds, the crackle of gunfire & the insistent buzz of the jungle, whereas track 8 'Loose Change' is the very essence of a radioactive beach. As the surf still rolls in, the sea hisses against the sand and the bright orange sky crackles with static - the aftermath of destruction.

This is too much to be ignored and as legitimate digital sound collage goes this is worthy, if not more so, than a lot of what is commercially available in the electronic sound construction realm.Distorted electric accordion, a robot with it's mouth full, the soft fizz of distant digital fireworks, even a brief excursion into d&b using squeezed bird noises & static.

This deserves to be huge and if you are missing that one album which will happily sit in a category all of it's own then welcome. This release will be available now, contact this website for further details.
