OREN AMBARCHI: "Lost Like a Star", ltd. to 650 on Bo'Weavil recordings. Two compositions utilising electric guitar, bowed instruments, samples, bells, cymbals and percussion. First side was composed for a Japanese dance troupe Gekidan Kaitaisha, while the flip is from a live recording for Australian TV. As you can imagine for an artist involved with improv, electroacoustic and experimental noise the attention here is one of concentration and/or intensity of sound; building & developing out of sustain, resonance and repetition with spacing/silence critical to the framing of particular sounds and textures. For fans of; Mego, Touch, Erstwhile etc... What the label says: Another lovely release from Boweavil is the limited vinyl by the great experimental guitarist Oren Ambarchi from Australia. A Touch label recording artist, Oren has been making music since 1986, creating sounds from the guitar that one would not expect to hear. On this LP two long tracks one per side, start from minimal low frequency sounds to ever growing drones of manipulated guitars.Oren Ambarchi is an electronic guitarist and percussionist with longstanding interests in transcending conventional instrumental approaches. His work focuses mainly on the exploration of the guitar, "re-routing the instrument into a zone of alien abstraction where it's no longer easily identifiable as itself. Instead, it's a laboratory for extended sonic investigation".180g Ltd 650.

About the humble LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.
