More Info

GORDON SHARPs Stimme klingt auch heute noch immer so ungewöhnlich und schneidend-gefühlvoll wie auf dem 80er Jahre Klassiker "Camouflage Heart". Diese einseitig bespielte 10" mit neuer Aufnahme (leider nur ein Stück, aber das hat es in sich) tönt genauso dicht, düster & industriell wie früher, so rauh & so poetisch... das könnte ewig so weitergehen.. kommt mit kunstvollem weisser Siebdruck auf der B-Seite des Vinyls !

"Bluesanct is incredibly excited that the third release in our Art Singles series is by one of our all-time favourite artists, Cindytalk. This time it will be a 10", to facilitate the sonics involved. One-sided vinyl with a screen-printed B-side and printed sleeve. Silver Shoals Of Flight is quintessential Cindytalk... written and produced by Gordon Sharp and Matt Kinnison. Drum machine ticks along gorgeous bass pulses up against Gordon's vocals. Leading to a climax of bliss and dissonance. For those not familiar with Cindytalk's work, it is a sound that straddles several genres at once. Ambient-abstract-industrial-cinematic-glitch post-punk. Gordon Sharp was at one time perhaps best known for lending his angelic voice to several tracks on This Mortal Coil's classic masterpiece It'll End In Tears (4AD, 1984), but those tracks are nothing but a footnote in history for Sharp and Cindytalk. Since 1982, Cindytalk has recorded half a dozen fiercely challenging albums of devastating beauty. And there is no end in sight for this seminal group. Limited to 500 copies, on black vinyl, with pearl ink." [label info]

"This is the 3rd release in the 'Art Series' singles by the friendly BlueSanct label, of which Pantaleimon's 7" 'Under The Water' is also part. In all cases, an artist is asked to compose a track, which then is released in limited edition on vinyl. On the unplayable reverse side, it then features artwork by another artist. The choice for this release was the obscure, yet influencial Cindytalk. This project of the Scottish androgyne Gordon Sharp has been releasing albums since 1983; they vary from chaotic and emotional Sturm und Drag over poetic movielike soundscapes to pastoral neofolk with a noisy edge. Besides this, Gordon Sharp is mostly known for his contributions to This Mortal Coil's debut single '16 Days/Gathering Dust' and the subsequent album "It'll End In Tears". This Mortal Coil was somewhat accessible, Cindytalk rarely are. This 10" also excels in unconventionality. In exactly 5 and half minutes Gordon Sharp and Matt Kinnison lead us through a dark soundscape, mixed with Sharp's half-muttered vocals... to end in Cindytalk's noisy side. They will (hopefully) never get tired of it... This piece wouldn't have been out of place on the more acoustic part of the two-piece 'In This World' or on their soundtrack 'The Wind Is Strong' made for the movie 'Eclipse'. To those who can't get one of the 500 copies of this little gem, there's hope: BlueSanct already hinted that Sharp & Co are again recording. To coincide with this release, Cindytalk have been performing live again for the first time since... 1994(?)." [Dark Entries]
