JOHN DUNCAN / SCHEINTOT

Split 33RPM LP | iDEAL 284
Edition: 200 on black/transparent splatter vinyl
Design: Daniel Löwenbrück

John Duncan's "SAXMIX" is one massive piece of contemporary experimental music, which lets noise collide with free jazz and extreme minimalism. Duncan is a master when it comes to these things, and he is an artists constantly evolving, mutating and challenging. The sax thing then? JD has invited some of his fav sax players to collaborate with him; Mats Gustafsson, Antoine Chessex, Martin Escalante, Dror Feiler and Ulrich Krieger. Did I say MASSIVE? Well, it is.

Scheintot is a new trio consisting of Mats Gustafsson (sax/flute), Henrik Rylander (mixing desk) and myself on Korg MS20 which might be my fav synth ever, or right now at least. This is weird stuff. Not sure where this is going but I guess you will enjoy it if you are into stuff we have done before, but this sits comfortably in its own corner, not smart enough to be ashamed over sounding so infected.

Nice cover by Tochnit Aleph boss Daniel Löwebrück. Hot stuff, basically!

ISP.05: Terror Cell Unit - 'God Took Everything Away From Us So Now We Will Take Away Everything From You' LP. Since 2014, the Oakland, California based duo of Mackenzie Chami and Sam Torres have been operating as the underground power electronics force known as Terror Cell Unit. 'God Took Everything...' stands as Terror Cell Unit's darkest and most experimental material to date. While remaining confrontational in traditional form, these four tracks explore the bleakest of electronic territories, which quickly unfold into oppressive and suffocating waves of sub-static pulses as a reminder that every beginning starts with an end. This is the eulogy for the shared inner-dread and self-antagonism that tormented Chami and Torres during the writing of this album, though the ghosts remain, never to be at rest.

4 tracks. Presented in a offset printed 3mm spine jacket + 4-page stapled and hand-trimmed XEROX booklet insert.
