Gareth Davis & Machinefabriek - Ghost Lanes

Hee's a review Phil did for the CD edition!  

Machinefabriek and Gareth Davis release a 2nd CD this week full of the fruits of their experimental behavior. I don't now much about Ghost lanes aside from it's limited to another 100 copies job and it's packaged in a lovely oversized 3" thing. Musically it's pretty far out there sound art gear. It's eerie and dark as well.... strange noises drop in and out of the crackling lulls making you feel genuinely uneasy. To me it sounds like a soundtrack to an old Jan Svankmajer animation with rusty nails and springs all moving around bits of meat albeit more digital. Gareth's clarinet interjects Rutger's loop pedals and guitar and if you stick through the track from start to end you'll be treated to a magical 23 minute journey. Bang on some headphones, whack play, close your eyes and you won't be disappointed. I reckon this is a bit special!
