"Neural Interval" zbiera wszystkie trzy kasetowe albumy z Nagamatzu: "Shatter Days" (1983), "Sacred Islands of the Mad" (1986) i "Igniting the Corpse" (1991). Dodatkowo mamy tutaj 12-calowy maxi-singiel"Space Shuttle Shuffle" (1987) oraz niepublikowaną wersję "Lift Off". Daje one wgląd w wciąż mało znane nagrania tego znakomitego duetu (przez pewien czas tria ), który powinien był być ostoją 4AD, Beggars Banquet lub Factory w latach 80tych. Mamy nadzieję, że dzięki winylowym reedycjom Dark Entries i antologii Zoharum zespół osiągnie ten rodzaj uznania, na który naprawdę zasługuje.
Podwójny album został wydany w digipaku z dodatkową wkładką w formie plakatu i jest on ściśle limitowany do 500 sztuk. Za mastering odpowiada Łukasz Miernik i George Horn
Thanks to music lovers from all around the world, forgotten gems from the analogue era hidden in basements have been popping up in the digital age. We have witnessed (re-)discovery and (re-)appreciation of new age, library music, acid house, post-punk and many others. One of those hidden gems from the 1980s is Nagamatzu with Stephen Jarvis and Andrew Lagowski (known for his ambient/electronica releases on Zoharum amongst the others). In their 10-year tenure, they pioneered their own peculiar instrumental version of the so-called dark wave, a mixture of goth-tinged post-punk with pulsating, danceable electronica.
Nagamatzu released 3 tapes and a 12" vinyl back in their heyday. They gathered good reviews, small but devoted following, but once they drifted apart, their music was lost. Fortunately, not to all. First, some tracks kept popping up on Andrew Lagowski's website. Later, Josh Cheon from San Francisco-based label called Dark Entries re-released their two cassette-only album on vinyl. Now, it is time to present their analogue output in its enirety on CD.
"Neural Interval" collects all the three tape albums from Nagamatzu: "Shatter Days" (1983), "Sacred Islands of the Mad" (1986) and "Igniting the Corpse" (1991). It also adds "Space Shuttle Shuffle" 12'' (1987) and an unreleased version of "Lift Off" as bonus tracks. It gives you an insight into still little known work by this excellent duo (or trio at times) who should have been a mainstay of 4AD, Beggars Banquet or Factory back in the 1980s. We hope that thanks to the vinyl reissues of Dark Entries and Zoharum CD anthology the band will achieve such a kind of recognition they truly deserve.
The CDs are housed in a digipak with an additional poster booklet inside. This edition is strictly limited to 500 copies. "Neural Interval" was mastered by Łukasz Miernik and George Horn.
After a few years break Lagowski returns to Zoharum with a new album - 10 tracks of electronic music preserved in techno stylistics that bring to mind his „Redesine +” album or achivements known from his EPs released on Chronium Industries. The musical side of the album is accompanied by a concept which the artist describes in his own words: All of the...
S.E.T.I. is one of the most important representatives of the dark ambient genre of recent years. Another incarnation of Andrew Lagowski and his most active project, with releases on labels such as Loki-Found (Power & Steel), Touch, Incoming!, VIVO, Ash International and Syntactic (Klanggalerie). 'The Sphere of Density' is his latest album, which...
LEGION came as a surprising side-project in comparison to the British audio visual technician's regular tracks released up to that date. "False Dawn" was an excellent venture into the world of spacey electronica which might have served as a complement to the dense world of techno on LAGOWSKI's early vinyl releases and to the dark wave of NAGAMATZU....
Following last year's reissue of Legion's "False Dawn" in anniversary 2CD edition, Andrew Lagowski returns to Zoharum with an album of new music. It is his first physical album in 7 years under his own surname following "Temporary Distractions" released in 2006. In the meantime, he's been busy with live gigs, his arctic ambient project S.E.T.I. and...
