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.
