ALAIN BASSO-AB IRATO, CD, 1999, FRANCE




Perhaps best known for his work alongside Philippe Blanchard (aka Lieutenant Caramel) in Denier Du Culte, Basso reveals himself here to be an exceptional exponent of uneasy listening. Tidal pools of atonal harmonics slowly whirl you into bins of crushed metal that fall away to reveal overlapping tides of low-lying thrumming whirr which in turn bleed away to reveal stochastic stormclouds of blips and plinks. Richly involving work that thrums with insectile density.
