What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Brian feeling happy.

Now on that limited Distant Noise CD label comes a new CD from Schengen, 'Ce Gil'. 10 tracks of atmospheric variable electronics from the former krautrocker. 'Fendered' is playful electro taking in snippets of Thieves Like Us era New Order with light techno touches. 'Duc' is aquatic, motorik electro. Some parts glide & glow with positive radiance. Really earthy & pretty, fluid textures, skittering beats, hypnotic Orbital-esque piano loops, digital bursts of fuzz....the list goes on. This is a quality release, an eclectic collection of moods from a quiet old master! Limited to 100 numbered copies so be quick! This is pretty damn cool!

What the label says:

Schengen, a long-time collaboration between the Bristol based duo Nick Varney and Ian McKenzie, delight in all things electronic. After numerous releases and remixes for a wide variety of independent labels (Awkward Silence / Monopsone / Roisin / Make Mine Music), ‘Ce Gil’ is the follow-up to the well received 2006 debut album, ‘the Beijing of our career’.

Refusing to be pin-downed to one style, Ce Gil is a kaleidoscope of textures, veering from the delicate, the experimental, touching on pop, and driving on through to dance, but always mining a rich vein of electronic goodness.

This is an album intended for the head, the heart and the speakers.

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
