| Early hallucinatory ritual percussion works from the much-missed rhythmajik master Z’EV, with his 1983 Berlin Atonal performance as a bonus track (first time on any format since the original split LP with Psychic TV). …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… This legendary album by Industrial pioneer Z’EV was originally released in 1986 (LP, Dossier), now finally available with the state-of-the-art remastering it deserves. Also included is the bonus 20 minute track ‘Titan Night’, recorded at Berlin Atonal in December 1983, now available here for the first time on any format since the original 1984 split LP with Psychic TV (who performed their iconic set at the same event). Z’EV performed on all-steel, custom-made percussion instruments, designed to activate the acoustics of the space. “Each track finds Z’EV creating moody and atmospheric percussion based compositions. If you’re familiar with Z’EV‘s work you’d say these tracks are a bit more primal, stripped back, and unmanipulated. Each track takes in a set pattern of percussive elements, which he investigates over the tracks length, and these move from forceful battering onto more moody drifts, and in between the two… a worthy work from this most respected and unequalled artist” (Musique Machine). • CD in matt digipak, with all artwork remaining true to Z’EV‘s original concepts.Conceptual artist, dancer, musician, scholar and poet, Stefan Weisser began playing the percussion from the age of 3, building his first drum set at the age of 6. Moving to New York City from San Francisco in 1979 he adopted the name Z’EV. Z’EV performed in order 80 cities and 19 countries, with installations as far reaching as Mexico. He is considered one of the best and most original percussionists in the world and had been a vital force in music since his very early explorations, boasted as one of the founders of Industrial.
