What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Ant feeling happy.

Also this week on Music Fellowship, TARENTEL unleash the first two editions of their 4LP epic series & they're on top form. I love it when artists release a load of records at once. Sounding particularly noisy on 'Everybody Fucks With Somebody'. The opener on 'Ghetto Beats On The Surface Of The Sun Vol.1'. It then goes into some ace drumming that sounds like it's done by either two people or one person with four arms. It chills out somewhat then into more conventional Tarentel territory. Layers of feedback, noise and effects combine wonderfully. There are moments of beauty as well as some more freaky dark bits. Quality gear with top artwork to boot. Splendid..

What the label says:

Tarentel's predominantly instrumental compositions read like chapters in an epic novel - cinematic and absolutely breathtaking. Tarentel's tidal force and blissful elegance elicit the kind of ecstatic response their name suggests. The first in a series of 4 LPs comprised of studio and home recordings from September '04 to April '05, "Ghetto Beats On The Surface Of The Sun" Vol. 1 isn't your grandma's Tarentel. One of the tracks might just eat your face, at least one of the others will make you want to wiggle your butt, and there's some other dirty stuff in there too, but we're not sure what that'll make you want to do. The second volume in the "Ghetto Beats On The Surface Of The Sun" series is another helping of butt-shaking trash can style, but with a healthy dose of psychedelic fever wandering and blast off moon landing thrown in for good measure. Take your medicine! This album is being released as a series of 4 limited 12" LPs, where each LP is between 30 and 40 minutes...

About the humble LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.
