BadRobot Love that snare drum 🥁 really tight...sounds like brushes are being used...and the sonic echo / background sounds,alarms and manipulation are sublime..off kilter piano notes are wonderful...then a manipulated accordion,bagpipes 🪗 or organ starts up..lovely drone sounds ..sounds urgent and impelling you on through the darkness...with the snare coming back in with more force but with added echo...this album must be epic in its entirety..roll on June..take a(nother) bow Drew..and enjoy the ap

about

Renowned psychogeographer, hauntologist and all round counter cultural hero Drew Mulholland returns to Castles in Space for a reinvestigation of the Warminster UFO flap of the sixties and seventies. Warminster, a small town in Wiltshire on the edge of the Salisbury Plain became the centre of a UFO flap during this period and lasted as a UFO Mecca for many years. UFO groups and interested truth seekers held regular sky watches in the area from Cradle Hill and Starr Hill.

Interestingly, the Warminster phenomenon began not with UFO sightings but with "hearings". This could possibly be why the phenomena resounds so strongly with Drew. His work is so often related to specific places and events, and in this interpretation of what came to be known as the Warminster "thing", he displays his genius for creating unsettling widescreen soundscapes which prickle and crackle with a vivid sense of something monumental and unknowable happening which is frustratingly out of reach.

The track "Warminster" was written and recorded with Adrian Utley and was originally released on CD by Ochre records in Summer 1999. The version here has been remixed and remastered and this release is expanded with a whole new set of recordings unique to this album.

The album is housed in a beautiful sleeve designed and illustrated by Nick Taylor.

"Mulholland’s music hazes the contours between psychogeography and hauntology, exploring his reaction to memory and place, both physically through field recording and figuratively, through his often abrasive manipulation of the sounds. Accordingly, his work can be as witty and expressive as it is caustic, but each one reveals something different and quite personal about the artist."
-Spenser Tomson, The Wire

REALLY wish I'd subscribed sooner to be able to enjoy this on vinyl! Curious the artist cited 12 Monkeys and not La Jetee as one of the key inspirations. For me, this has a more somber, introspective and timeless feel more akin to La Jetee than 12 Monkeys (though I also am a big fan of Terry Gilliam). Gorgeous music and you get the bonus of a list of excellent movies to enjoy (another note to the artist: Time Crimes is also a good film to watch). Now to somehow procure a vinyl copy...
