ROBERT LOGAN - FLESH DECOMPOSED - OUT NOW!
Robert Logan has a new album....
ROBERT LOGAN
FLESH DECOMPOSED [SLODL029]
Last year saw Logan re-emerge under his own name with the dazzling new ‘Extasis EP’ and an album ‘Flesh’ “…a musical object so radical and daring it seems not to belong to his time.” [Trax]. ‘Flesh Decomposed’ is his 4th album and coincides with the release of two albums which are the fruits of his long term collaboration with ambient god-father Steve Roach [‘Biosonic’ and ‘Second Nature’].
Taking the final subdued moments of 'Flesh' as a starting point, 'Flesh Decomposed' comprises of new ambient explorations of the many moods and textures only glimpsed at in the previous recording. Created during the sessions for 'Flesh' until the present day and constructed from custom digital and analog processes, the recording attempts a fresh and at times confrontational approach to ambient music. Primitive source materials and stark acoustic frequencies are 'rotted' into new and evocative forms, and layered crystalline structures aged to sound like barely remembered music. Spontaneity and chance are allowed a larger breathing space in this collection, with trumpeter Andy Knight given a wider timeframe to roam [‘Four Wheels’], and the return of Logan's father on violin on the expansive ‘Tri’, but the corrosive weathering of the sonics within the eight soundscapes is equally managed to an exceptional degree of sonic detail.
'Flesh Decomposed' is visual and hallucinogenic, exploring a range of unusual atmospheres and emotions - from the strange sense of memory invoked in a long forgotten object in the dusty 'Older Jug' - to lively pulse of fleshy life contained in the musical squirms of 'Larval Therapy' - and most of all throughout hints towards a kind of beauty, most clearly unveiled in the final track 'Wind' - which seeks the ghost that has long since left the shell.
The album is available at all good digital outlets....

Prescott:
When Prescott released their highly acclaimed album ‘One Did’ in 2014 they consisted of bassist, Kev Hopper (Stump) Keyboardist, Rhodri Marsden (Scritti Politti) and drummer, Frank Byng (Snorkel).
Now they have added guitarist, Keith Moline (Pere Ubu) to the ranks making them something of a SUPERGROUP. They play minimal, angular, mechanical riffs with twangy guitar melodies riding the bumpy landscape. The effect is startling and joyous.

ROBERT LOGAN - 'FLESH' OUT NOW!
FLESH [SLOCD026]
"The album's velocity has the stability of a high-wire walker, but despite outbreaks to the contrary, Logan's ammunition isn't stuck on autofire. Methodical pincer movements puncture sceneries like balloons, and Logan layers technology like a game of skyscraper-high Jenga ('Photovoltaics')… …Logan is out for his pound of 'Flesh', and once again comes back quids in. 8/10" [Clash]
'Flesh, his third album, a musical object so radical and daring it seems not to belong to his time.' [Trax]
"meticulously produced, methodical and brilliant." [Igloo Magazine]
"Flesh is like a lot of things, and yet it has a personality, a usefulness, a quality all to itself. Recommended." [Louder Than War]
"If you haven’t heard his work yet, you’re in for a treat." [Space and Sound]
"Flesh is a great work in not only atmospherics but deep composition relying not on conventional elements so much as the fine detailed placement of found sounds, rhythms and treated instruments. Highly recommended." [Igloo Magazine]
"…a challenging but ultimately rewarding listen; initially jolting yet meditative, the shadows it creates lure you into an all-encompassing world of unsettling dreams and hallucinogenic scenes. This is uncomfortable in a manner that intrigues and delights as much as it scares – go on, I dare you." [Digital Fix]

This is uncomfortable in a manner that intrigues and delights as much as it scares – go on, I dare you." [Digital Fix]
"Flesh exemplifies a conspicuous degree of confidence and assurance. What's particularly noteworthy is that, although the hour-long collection draws upon myriad styles, among them IDM, funk, folk, classical, and electronica, Logan fuses them fluidly such that no one style asserts itself to the exclusion of others." [Textura]
