The second catalogue entry from PATIENCE, a mysterious new NYC label devoted exclusively to long-form tracks, comes from young Melbourne talent LEO JAMES, who has also released on BERCEUSE HEROIQUE and NEUBAU! The A-side is built on drone meditation, the B-side on a 4/4 machine beat, each unfolding via clarinet and analog synth melodies. Two long stories to savor, 20 minutes apiece!
A bold effort from up-and-comer LEO JAMES, who has developed his WAVE/EBM-influenced leftfield techno from the base of his own label BODY LANGUAGE! "Desert Nightflower" (sample3) is beautiful, with freaky clarinet melodies and expansive synth lines cutting through weighty synth drones, while "Infinity" (sample1&2) colors a midtempo beat with clarinet, classical piano and percussion. Both sides are minimal in structure, yet the music takes its time, letting every single note lodge in your memory — lovely stuff.
