Amon Düül II - Kismet

Valeriu Borcos and Eduard Gabia are Karpov not Kasparov, a musical game of
chess between synthesizers and drums. Beginning in Bucharest in 2009, the duo
soon incorporated an analogue visual artist and contemporary dancers into their
live performances, resulting in a theatrical show and a kind of real-time soundtrack to
the action around them. The duo’s unique dynamic creates a psychedelic synthdriven
sound, combining oriental melodies with the drive of a full live drum kit.
“Soundtrack for a game of Chess” is their debut LP, comprising a selection of the
best tracks from their previous two EPs, which never appeared on vinyl.
“Mechanical Turk”, named after a faux chess-playing machine constructed in the
late 18th century, displays the darker side to the band’s undulating sound, as the
vintage synth creates a spacey Eastern overlay to the driving bass and drums.
There are moments of downbeat jazz-infused introspection, such as the track
“Kaissa”, named after the goddess of chess, as well as the ever-onward kraut
drums of “Choose you colour gipsy dark” overlaid with the rise and fall of a pulsating
synth. Yet the record is not simply a dark synth composition, at times K not K sway
towards a more playful, experimental pop sound reminiscent of early electronic
pioneers such as Harmonia or Vangelis, while still managing to retain a modern,
otherworldly feel.
Having garnered great acclaim within their native Romania, their debut EPs also
received high praise internationally from sources such as WFMU. While last year,
Mehmet Aslan’s re-work of “Mechanical Turk” released on Huntleys + Palmers
made waves across the dance floors of the world. They’re now set to release their
debut LP on Polychrome Sounds this Summer and will be touring Europe from 
Spring onwards.

Karpov not Kasparov - Mechanical Turk

After his Kinfolk released collab with Otologic's Nick Murrary, Kris Baha makes a welcome return to his Power Station creation. A versatile five track EP that will get you through the night, one pictures Yello's virgin ketamine experiments on 'Mind Your Head' before 'Jeff' comes to the party with his mad professor dub, giving you whiplash with its belting beats and crashing guitar stabs. Originally designed as an hour long opening score for the namesake Melbourne club night, 'Around You Go' is an edited warm up tool, the crossroad between Düsseldorf and Elettronica Meccanica. If issued in 1983, '2 Nights in Armenia' would have lived on as a Cosmic classic while 'ArpB' is the listeners' exit music, a fork hanging from the power socket.

Distribution by Juno....out January 2016
