Astral Social Club
Skelp/ Ginnel

This record left our BRIAN D feeling happy.

Astral Social Club: Skelp (Trensmat) 7" w/ CD Is a collaboration by Neil Campbell and Stewart Walden that reveals Neil's fascination with the German minimal techno imprint Kompakt. That influence and inspiration comes through in the repetitive loops employed. Surrounding the minimal approach is the itchy scratchy textures, loose piano refrains and the droney tones he's made his own from work with his former project Vibracathedral Orchestra. The CD contains both tracks from the vinyl with remixes of 'Skelp' by Richard Youngs and reinterpretations of 'Ginnel' by Magnetize and John Clyde-Evans. On sunflower yellow vinyl.

What their label says...

Its been said that Neil Campbell has provided the map co-ordinates for much of what passed for a post-punk UK underground during the late 80s and 90s. His Astral Social Club material shimmers and throbs in a truly psychedelic manner as it fuses textural drones and the kraut-influenced electronic pulsing & sputtering beats.

This 7" sees the Astral traveler moving into further realms and putting a capital 'C' on club, with two tracks fuelled by deranged strobe rhythms. Frenetic fizzing beats are fused with searing slow-build drones of bowed strings & flickering synthesized riffs. The sounds are alive & glistening - rich reverberant like technicolor cascades underpinned by wonkey mesmerizing rhythms. An endless spaced out groove pouring out of the sound system on some alien dancefloor.

The additional CD features some amazing remixes from Richard Youngs, John Clyde-Evans and Magnetize as well as the two tracks on the 7".
