Vodka Soap - Un Chand Pyramidelier












Format: CDR
Released: 2006

this record was actually my first exposure to all things skaters' related, needless to say it made a huge impression on me and was the spark for hunting down all i could from their various projects. volcanic tongue put it better than i could when it was featured as their tip of the tongue in april 2006:-

"An absolute masterpiece of sustained meditative breakthrough from Spencer Clarke of The Skaters. Spencer worked on this amazing recording for many many moons, spending a long time in the subterranean depths of the local museum, power-zoning on archetypal visions of death masks and energy centres. The result is one of the most conceptually unified trips to flash across his eyelids to date. Tiny orchestras of gamelan bells illuminate whole communities of overtone while tape wuzz spools into loops of roaring silence and almost subliminal speech and song-forms flit just on the periphery of yr ears. Elsewhere it sounds like a Hermann Nitsch ritual heard from 200 miles up, or an African Trips Festival illuminated by beautifully ornate carousels slow-spinning deep in the black desert night. Totally magical, ageless ritual and a mind-blower of the highest order. Highest possible recommendation."
