SL 114EP
|
Deep into lockdown, Frank Harris pulled out Bernie Grundman's original 24 track masters of the In a Minor Mode EP, digitizing and exploring the original multi track recordings. Inspired by newly rediscovered parts recovered from the editing floor, what followed was a faithful but full-blown reimagining of Loveroom, Strangelove Music present this definitive version alongside a deep dive into Echoes LP (SL 104LP) favorite "Down By The Rio" Frank's FM friendly take flipped on the B-side with Frakas's trippy, diced-up vibe alongside a bumping beatdown version from New Zealand's finest Julien Dyne. Essential Balearic heat beat!

SL 104LP

2023 repress. Echoes is the ethno-wave love child of collaborators Frank Harris and Maria Marquez. A collection of sublime songs dating back to '85, avant-pop flourishes are married here to the heart strings of a synthetic Amazon -- think Music From Memory's Outro Tempo (MFM 016CD/LP, 2017) meets a tropical Sade. With much contemporary interest in South American electronic music, Echoes is a window into two musicians prescient dreamings of tradition, melody, and technology. Reveling in the embrace of Maria's Venezuelan roots amd folklore visions, combined with Frank's custom Synclavier synth station, songs such as "Canto Del Pílon" and "Tonada de Ordeño" resonate with a charged future/primitive electricity; Maria's song-to-a-siren vocals mainline with Frank's lush sonic alchemy. Mastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy. A portion of Echoes profits will go to Venezuelan charity. 180 gram vinyl with printed deluxe sleeve; Full size graphic insert; Includes two-sided, full-size insert.
