    Doyeq - Never Back
    (Fuselab - April 10, 2013)

    " . . . Doyeq from Moscow, RU. Since their debut on our label with their “Eyelashes Of Lanterns” EP they’ve made a good output on several other foundations and constantly proceed developing their live acting side.
    So this time we meet a full-length album – and again a stunning one. Slightly remaining works of Swod or any other piano based contemporary masters “Never Back” shows the same approach but the firm spirit and touch of Doyeq. A lot, really a lot of live instrumentals including stings, pianos, sax and double bass mixed together with glitch micro percussion and analog synth sparks. Warm, profound, cozy and soothing stuff and it’s truly cinematic. So the whole album is just a classic favorite one for us for sure."

    David Fenech - Grand Huit
    - "This fantastic musical journey, written by French composer David Fenech back in the year 2000, is entirely produced on 4-track cassette. Its title refers to the French word for “roller coaster” and “looping”, as well as to the symbol of infinity. “Grand Huit” (“Big Eight”) is a rare example of “cinema pour l’oreille” made of songs. The music already bears the strong handwriting of its creator: a unique mix of field recordings, outlandish singing (mostly in fantasy language) and expressive musical sketches. Bearing in mind the year of its origin, “Grand Huit” could also be seen as a soundtrack to another “carnival of souls”, marking the uncanny transition from the 20st to the 21st century while leaving all the old ghosts behind. Lonely souls and memories waving good-bye. David Fenech’s early work permanently alternates between rawness and tenderness. It offers a great cosmos of sounds ranging from downgraded samples, detuned organs and off-beat rhythms to environmental noises, toy piano, hurdy-gurdy, sine tones and Chinese theatre bells. The overall melancholic and narrative vibe of the music lets your mind drift away easily, so don’t put milk on your oven while listening. Gagarin Records is happy to present a re-mastered and slightely edited version of this masterwork for the first time on vinyl. The LP comes with a beautiful full colour poster and cover art by New York based visual artist Martha Colburn."

    thanks BT, finally getting to some of them. I've been pretty busy in the garden and this will fit in just right.
    Coming up for air, for a lousy swimmer that's always a good thing.

    thanks again, I should mention that these releases are also available at bandcamp for nyop that is apparently better quality than the free ones. That could be important to some folks. The artwork sure is better.

    Ps I'm really enjoying hearing rebelliousness unfold.

    I don't blame you. 12 hours is too much for one sitting, that's for sure. Even so, appreciating the entirely of Continuo I-XII requires at least some attention to the whole. It's individual parts may seem stripped down, but overall it's an "expository" piece that explores the basic vocabulary of drone. You don't need to hang on every second, but some attention is required.

    There are "shorter" pieces from earlyguard, of which I'd recommend;
