Formication - Icons For A New Religion

‘Icons for a New Religion’  is the astonishing new album from this often spaceward-bound UK electronica duo of Alec Bowman and Kingsley Ravenscroft and represents their first non-self released work. Mulched digital flotsam, chattering rhythms, buried voices, squelched beats, vapour trails and suchlike combine to create a vast and sprawling, kaleidoscopic filmic spew that's unstoppable in its reaching out to those parts of yr imagination simply waiting to be taken to new places. At times, the music recalls early Tangerine Dream or even Pete Namlook’s darker descents taking a trip to those realms usually reserved for Autechre via the ritualistic and chemical saturation of Coil, but these boys have been honing their craft long enough to bleed so many exciting and interesting shapes into it that it has become ultimately their own.
