Sounding mint this one. A meeting of minds between Lancashire's lovers of junk shop strangeness and witchy ephemera, this album lurches drunkenly between concrete clockwork grind and sinister avant-garde clatter but often stops to sway in the wonderful ominous tribal sound-world beloved of the Demdike boys. Murky hypnotic pagan techno rules the roost here in-between the spooky incidental bits. I seriously reckon this may as well be just another really satisfying Demdike Stare album with Mr. Votel sitting on their shoulders slapping their heads like a giddy mad Uncle. As always the balance between zen-beats and riveting atmosphere is succinct. Not much else to say except buy it as there's 700 copies and these things never get a repress and none have seen the light on CD as yet......can't wait to see Demdike at the Union Chapel in London.....

        - Fourth release on Pre-Cert Home Entertainment
       - Slant Azymuth may or may not be a collaborative  project between Demdike Stare and Andy Votel
       - Vinyl Limited to 700 copies
       - Cut at Berlin’s D&M

Slant Azymuth expand on the concepts shared on last year's virtually unobtainable series of releases on Andy Votel and Demdike Stare’s Pre-Cert Home Entertainment label.
Slant Azymuth is more than likely a joint venture between label heads Demdike and Votel, once again exploring fake-loric non- language / electric codes and forbidden information to create an archive of sonic and poetic commentary (evidence) concerning corruption in pre-war local industry, perverted belief systems and scientific invention.
