Artist: Andrew Chalk, Ralf Wehowsky & Eric Lanzillotta
Title: Yang-Tul
Format: CD
Label: Cold Spring (@)
Rated: * * * * *
This is a reissue of a vinyl only release on Anomalous Records in 1998. The three artists involved are real prime movers of post industrial music: Ralf Wehowsky, well known as a member of P16.D14, and Andrew Chalk are active from the '80s while Eric Lanzillotta is best known as the founder of the label which published this release and other key releases in the '90s, even an AMM release (At the Roundhouse).
The first side of this release is from Andrew Chalk reworking the sound materials of Ralf Wehowsky: A fluctuating complex waveform opens "Wycha" which is juxtaposed by a fluctuating noise; their dialectic stands until a drone begins and stats to overwhelm them but not completely.
The other side is from Ralf Wehowksy reworking sound materials from Andrew Chalk and Eric Lanzillotta: "Chalawy", is opened by a deep bass interrupted, after less than a minute, by the emerge of a drone acting as a background for a bunch of samples adding a sense of evocative landscape as noisy as relentless.
It's a work of subtlety and mass where sonic details and slow developments are close to noise and meditation is close to action. There's no need to use a bunch of word to describe the reissue of a great work. Absolutely recommended.
