DESCRIPTION
Its been said that Neil Campbell has provided the map co-ordinates for much of what passed for a post-punk UK underground during the late 80s and 90s. His Astral Social Club material shimmers and throbs in a truly psychedelic manner as it fuses textural drones and the kraut-influenced electronic pulsing & sputtering beats.
This 7" sees the Astral traveler moving into further realms and putting a capital 'C' on club, with two tracks fuelled by deranged strobe rhythms. Frenetic fizzing beats are fused with searing slow-build drones of bowed strings & flickering synthesized riffs. The sounds are alive & glistening - rich reverberant like technicolor cascades underpinned by wonkey mesmerizing rhythms. An endless spaced out groove pouring out of the sound system on some alien dancefloor.
The additional CD features some amazing remixes from Richard Youngs, John Clyde-Evans and Magnetize as well as the two tracks on the 7".
VERY limited edition package of numbered yellow vinyl 7" and CD. In full colour wraparound picture sleeve.
