Aidan Baker
Thoughtspan

A Norman Records recommendation (19th March 2009)

This record left our Brett feeling ecstatic.

Nadja are playing here on Saturday. I think that'll be good, don't you? Aidan Baker's half of those. He's done an LP called Thoughtspan on lovely Blackest Rainbow in an edition of 350 which will no doubt sell out double quick. It's quite a different proposition to the shoegazey drone he's made his name doing with the first side given over to a slow building track of looming menace and the flip's almost like Arthur Russell gone ambient post-rock with its emphasis on echoey vocals, before turning all Popol Vuh towards the end. I won't spend too long on this but if you're a fan you need it hard!

What their label says...

Aidan Baker is one of the most interesting genre defying solo experimentalists around right now... Aidan also plays in the mind melting shoegaze doom duo of Nadja. This release reissues two tracks from a very limited CDR release entitled Thoughtforms, the original issue was on Tosom and is now long sold out, the LP collects two tracks from this release Thoughtspan and Thought Climate... Two long form tracks of genre blending shoegaze, post rock, krautrock and almost free jazz clatter at times... this is some very beautifully crafted music. Limited to 350 copies.
