Spyra - Invisible Fields CD [PS08/98] $16.50
(IN STOCK)
Label: Fax Notify Me (What is this?)

It is titled Invisible Fields and is in fact part three in a series of CDs that deal with electromagnetic waves. The first track Test Transmission seems to introduce us to an 80s retro-style CD with mechanic beats and basslines, good for dancing on the factory floor, but this feeling changes with tracks 2 and 3 : Together with tracks 5 and 6 they build the polyrhythmic and in a delicate way jazzy backbone of the album. But embedded into the flow of harmonic and melodic structures of the pieces, you don´t even notice the oddness of the beats unless you start counting the bars...and you should have stopped counting before the end of XyloCity Part II! – Otherwise you´ll find yourself outside the city in some kind of an ethno-style wilderness, unable to find the way back, helplessly surrendered to the next extraordinary track, which is the 23 minute long dreamtime piece Bath. Like a lunatic you´ll wander through a nocturnal soundscape of well-known and foreign origin that is interferred by harmonic clusters or sudden noise-bursts. In slow waves, the signals flow deeper and deeper into your unconscious mind...and finally in the last track Temporarily Not Available you´ll wake up in another dream: It´s you in the body of Erik Satie that lies unconscious on the grass of a huge sports arena until being carried away in a big concert piano by four conductors, dressed like ambulance-men. – But you feel good!
