Benge The View From Vega DiN82

Release date 17th November 2023
Limited to 300 copies 180g Vinyl / 300 copies Digipak CD

Ben Edwards, better known by his pseudonym Benge, has been exploring the sonic possibilities of electronic instruments since he was a young boy, in the1970s.  After graduating from art school in 1990 he set up his own music studio and started recording his unique blend of experimental electronica, culminating in his debut album "Electro-Orgoustic Music" and the formation of Expanding Records in 1995. Since then he has released dozens of albums as Benge, as well as collaborating with various luminaries from the electronic music world on many other album projects. He has formed several notable and ongoing bands such as John Foxx & The Maths, Wrangler (with Stephen Mallinder / Cabaret Voltaire and Phil Winter / Tunng), Fader (with Neil Arthur / Blancmange), and his most recent project Creep Show (Wrangler + John Grant). Benge's creative output now centres around his Memetune Studio Complex, located in one of the UKs remotest moorland locations, writing and producing his various music projects as well as making video art and TV programmes about his activities.

“The View From Vega”, his debut solo album on the DiN imprint, is primarily an ambient suite of tracks inspired by the space-music typically produced in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It uses a selection of vintage synthesisers, sequencers and FX units to provide a fertile sonic landscape to explore. The idea was to use simple sequences (using both analogue and digital units), sustained synthesiser pads and electronic piano improvisations, alongside various ancient delay, flange and reverb units. The beautiful, warm quality of the tones that exude from such instruments are very evident on the six tracks that slowly unfold their oscillations in organic, melodic soundscapes.

An unashamedly vintage sounding album in all its analogue glory, “The View From Vega” is released both as a 180g Vinyl edition and a Digipak CD with stunning artwork from Wendy Carroll that matches the music perfectly.

And now for something completly different... 
This is a mix I recorded a few days ago and I was listenting to it the whole weekend while I finished my decorations at my treasure island at Havelland. 🎆🖼️ It represents my mood in the moment and I decided, I wanna slap it out now in this moment when my mood is current and relevant to it. So I publish this one out of a row now, quiet quickly  after my last MLD 33 what was a bit like a recap. So these two mixes has a connection to each other even though they are so different. And also comes from different gengres.

So how it came to this MLD 34: After some memories came back recently I had the feeling  I wanna do something "real" with heavy guitar sounds, basslines and drums with big emotions and all of that - how I used to  ... So I created this wild one in a classic mixtape style with some pieces you might not expect. And to make it a bit more fun, no tracklist.  I call it "Loco Glitch - Mixtape" what feels like a suitable introduction.  No joke, trust me, haha!

I have to say also that some ingredients in this selection are inspired from a recommended sauce of a dubhead fellow who gave me a hint to check out some things I didn't recognised yet in their full potentials. So thanks for that! (Maybe you remember when you might read this - this is the resuslt.)

When I was listening to this MLD No. 34 after I put things together it suprised me, that there can be found some, in my view  typical "Sai" elements, which goes through my mixes no matter what it is. And these are: melancholia, hypnotic athmosphere, repeating sequences, bit weird stuff often with a bit fury plus ambivalent facets which get in touch and find new meanings in the context of the  whole installement..simply light & darkness.  Something I allways put my focus on. It feels good to me when music fulfill these criteria independently of the gengre. It calms and grounds me as I said often before. That's why I hate it  when someone wants to talk to me when I'm listening to music, or even worse: people stand in front of me and talking all the while. I can be very serious then, I know that. So be careful, haha!
Hope you enjoy this glued together fragments which runs through the decades, what some of you will realize. 

And btw, does anybody know the club which is shown on the pic?
