Anyone familiar with the mysterious Important Records artist Eleh is in for buzz with the 'Homage To The Square Wave' Ltd numbered LP on US label Taiga. Eleh's previous work has been a tribute to early minimalists while here he/she/ they? pay homage to the pure sound its self and the beauty that lies within pure physics, the waveform and the very essence of sound. It's a deeply hypnotic listen with the power of the repetition. The waveforms are tweaked slightly with minute details emerging. The waveform on 'Black' oscillates giving off what could be a percussion hit. Crank it up for maximum pleasure. 'Blue and White' is like what I imagine those sonic weapons that make people crap their pants soundslike.

4th vinyl-only full-length, following sold out releases on Important Records. Eleh return w/their battery of vintage modular analog gear to produce 2 sidelong tracks each clocking-in at over 20 minutes. Side A is a slowly enveloping mass of intensely throbbing low end - a hallucinatory forest filled w/suffocating bulbs of bass. Side B provides the decompression of rocking on a calm ocean. Soft peaks of warm tone rise & fall over the surface. LIMITED to 500 on 200g virgin vinyl
