Ambient Turntablism...



Philip Jeck - Host

I'm inclined to agree with The Wire that the music Philip Jeck produces is a bit special, and this CD doesn't do anything to shift my opinion. I've mentioned him before so I won't wax lyrical too much, I'll just give you the basics. Three tracks here, four if you count the video segment, each constructed using his old records/bit's of sticky tape/delay pedal formula - each track slightly more abrasive than the last, the final track being positively apocalyptical towards the end, reminded me a bit of early Techno Animal. The video track is very interesting as it details a live performance he did for a Belgian radio show, he really does use bits of sticky tape to create loops!
