PLAY LOUD as lathes are typically at lower volume than conventional vinyl. 33rpm" [label info] www.altvinyl.com "It's been a while, I think, since I last heard from the oddly named brb>voicecoil. Usually their releases have been on Muzzedia Verhead, their own label, but they also had a (split-) LP on Harbinger Sound. They hail from Newcastle, and that's also the city of zoviet*france. It's with them they share similarities in sound, certainly the older work of the latter. Also Small Cruel Party have been cited as an influence, if only by me. Here they offer a lathe cut 8" record, no doubt in a small edition, as is usually the case with lathe cuts and there for don't appear very often in these pages. The cover says that material was recorded 'on location in Lincoln, Great Watley, M25, Ilkley and Newcastle' - and still it's highly unclear what they are doing. We hear something that is recorded close by, looped and obscured sounds of object shuffling beneath the motorway. That's the best I can make of this. But, cleverly, as the piece continues (hard to figure out which is which here, as lthe cuts usually have nothing etched in the outer groove), more and more sounds leap in, close and afar and builds up nicely in tension. On the other side the piece seems to be using similar sound ingredients, but cooked up a bit differently. More introspective, less shuffling of objects beneath archway's. Both of these sides are different and yet also similar. And once again, BRB>Voicecoil manage to sound so closely to Small Cruel Party. So close that one could almost wonder if they aren't one and the… nah, can't be. Is not be. Is it?" [FdW/Vital Weekly]
