RAMLEH
Inviato: lun mag 10, 2010 7:39 amDisponibile da qualche mese la ristampa in doppio CD di una vecchia cassetta edita nel 1987 dalla leggendaria Broken Flag:
This material bridges the gap between the early "power electronics" material and the later "noise rock" history of Ramleh. Neither of these terms do justice to this pioneering group led by Gary Mundy. Originally issued by Gary's own "Broken Flag" label in 1987 on cassette, "Hole in the Heart" is now expanded and remastered. To quote Anthony Di Franco: "...swirling phased feedback, fuzzed vocals and guitars. At the same time there were melodies, words and structures in the music, which itself consisted of very simple electronic and acoustic elements magnified to a colossal scale..." This music has a harmonic beauty, if you look for it, that all its imitators lack. Listen and you will hear the genesis of what was to follow from many 90's underground bands such as label mates and close collaborators, Skullflower. Packaged in the classic "Broken Flag" monochrome style and encased in a double "Super Jewel Box".
