Now on that limited Distant Noise CD label comes a new CD from Schengen, 'Ce Gil'. 10 tracks of atmospheric variable electronics from the former krautrocker. 'Fendered' is playful electro taking in snippets of Thieves Like Us era New Order with light techno touches. 'Duc' is aquatic, motorik electro. Some parts glide & glow with positive radiance. Really earthy & pretty, fluid textures, skittering beats, hypnotic Orbital-esque piano loops, digital bursts of fuzz....the list goes on. This is a quality release, an eclectic collection of moods from a quiet old master! Limited to 100 numbered copies so be quick! This is pretty damn cool!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Schengen, a long-time collaboration between the Bristol based duo Nick Varney and Ian McKenzie, delight in all things electronic. After numerous releases and remixes for a wide variety of independent labels (Awkward Silence / Monopsone / Roisin / Make Mine Music), ‘Ce Gil’ is the follow-up to the well received 2006 debut album, ‘the Beijing of our career’.

Refusing to be pin-downed to one style, Ce Gil is a kaleidoscope of textures, veering from the delicate, the experimental, touching on pop, and driving on through to dance, but always mining a rich vein of electronic goodness.

This is an album intended for the head, the heart and the speakers.
