- Debut release from Young Echo member Ossia. 10 unyielding minutes of noise-strafed rootical techno backed with two more abstract uncanny studies in reverb and delay. Recorded using - among other things - samples Roland synth and a rowdy one-take session with the open spring reverb thundering through echo pedals hard delays and distortion ’Red X’ brilliantly bridges dubwise isolationist electronics and modern soundsystem dynamics. Spacious spry and airyB1 ’Ice & Blood’ feels like something picked up on an ebbing pirate signal with deep blue synths holding fast against stepping razor drum edits. The deep dread ambience of B2 ’Blood & Ice (Version)’ was coaxed out of an acetate dubplate of ‘Ice & Blood’ and the crackly old 7” run-out groove of Tosh’s ‘Oh Boombaclat’ shot through ’70s Copicat tape-delay and an array of effects. Screen-printed sleeve designed by Studio Tape Echo.
