Cylob
Industries Evolving Press Release - last
revised 5 July 2007
July
sees the launch of a new net label, Cylob Industries, exclusively dedicated
to releasing the music of Cylob. Previously associated with the labels
Rephlex and Breakin, and having explored the outer edges of braindance
as well as turning in underground hits such as "Rewind" and
"Cut the Midrange" in a career that has so far spanned 14 years,
Cylob a.k.a. Chris Jeffs has decided to go independent and explore the
possibilities that digital distribution has to offer.
MP3's will initially be available on bleep.com and roughtradedigital.com,
with other services to follow.
There are to be 3 albums in the initial batch of releases. To preceed
the first album by a week, a 3-track single will be unleashed, with each
track representing one of the albums.
The song "Rock The Trojan Fader" is a 3-and-a-half minute contraction
of the album "Trojan Fader Style." It contains the kind of computer
generated singing for which Cylob has previously gained a reputation,
and has already been aired on BBC Radio 1's Mary Anne Hobbs' experimental
show.
"Cassini (Dub)" is taken from the album "Formant Potaton."
The original mix has vocals singing about the Cassini-Huygens mission
to Saturn and Titan.
The soothing lullaby "Goodnight" is an out-take from "Bounds
Green", a series of recordings from 1994-1995 that were recently
rediscovered after a dig through the Cylobian DAT vaults. The album can
be previewed at myspace.com/boundsgreen.
Partly based on the live set performed at Bangface last december that
left heads confused but feet moving (video evidence of which can be found
on youtube), the album "Trojan Fader Style" is a continuous
mix made up of about 35 tracks glued together in a relentless hour-long
barrage of mutant beats and melodies. Two thirds of the way through, the
music runs aground in a prolapse of chaotic oscillations only to regenerate
and trawl through weirder versions of the preceeding tracks.
