The new release from the venerable UK electronic/sound label TOUCH is a fascinating one!!! Four tracks of tape-loop techno, recorded live in one take using just two tape machines and a single microphone. Experimental and noisy, yet brimming with a uniquely ferocious, maddening, and fresh appeal.
Inspired by Howlround's (Robin the Fog) first performance at "The Winter Solstice Soundscapes" festival in Carlisle, Cumbria, in the far northwest of England — also his hometown — these four tracks of spirited, fresh "Tapeloop Techno" were created entirely in one take using nothing but two 1/4-inch reel-to-reel tape machines and a single microphone, all by hand in purely analog fashion.
