Description

British post-industrial/ambient group O Yuki Conjugate sees a multi-format reissue of their previously CD-only 1995 release Equator. Coming four years after their lauded Peyote release, the group split and reformed into their Mk II phase with the two original members Roger Horberry and Andrew Hulme, along with Malcolm McGeorge, Dan Mudford, and Pete Woodhead. Making use of the emergent technology of the early ’90s, Equator was one of the first albums to be mixed with digital equipment, weaving together a blend of studio, live and location recordings to create their own deeply immersive, enveloping soundscapes. Brooding atmospheres unfold underneath a wide range of ethnic percussion and deep, meditative basslines — existing in a unique cross-section of Jon Hassell-inspired 4th world mystery, Industrial landscapes and the rich middle-eastern projections pioneered by Muslimgauze. It’s a deeply hypnotic work that connects the dots between the late 80’s industrial scene and the smoked-out chill out rooms of the ’90s. Now revisited, this expanded vinyl edition features an additional 30 minutes of material, together with new glorious artwork from artist and actor Frederick Schimmelschmidt.

Instrumentation: tongue drums, bass, thunderegg, voice, keyboards, samples, wireless, stratus, airtubes, skin, percussion, marimba, digital edits, dharbouka, roto-tom, sholak, finger cymbals, rain stick.

Mastered by Pieter De Wagter.
