The fine Capsule folks from Birmingham have started a label and here's a comp CD called ' Supersonic 06' which is essentially the soundtrack to the previous years Supersonic festival. This features tracks from Zombi, Circle, Modified Toy Orchestra, Michael Gira, Alexander Tucker, High On Fire and lots more. It's a cool comp and well worth checking out. If I said it was both super and sonic you'd probably hit me if you could reach.Since 1999 the Capsule duo have been champions of all things avant-garde, together they present a year round programme of live music, events and exhibitions, and are the brains behind the Supersonic Festival.
The annual Supersonic festival is an eclectic and experimental playground, where new and emergent talent exhibit their skills alongside established and world-renowned practitioners. Whilst the focus is on experimental sonic work, supersonic acts an umbrella for creative and experimental practice in any media or art form.
If enlightenment is what you need then this exemplary compilation will provide you with a glimpse into the realms of a festival that, despite it’s relative early infancy, is undoubtedly setting a distinguishable and reputable benchmark for purveyors of experimental music. Or perhaps you just want to relive the highlights from the 2006 Supersonic Festival.
