Schöne Zusammenstellung von raren Stücken, Outtakes, Compilations-tracks und Unveröffentlichtem dieser britischen Band aus dem Umfeld der 90er Jahre "Guitar-Drone-Psychedelia", in einem Atemzug zu nennen mit SLOWDIVE, MY BLOODY VALENTINE & FLYING SAUCER ATTACK. Gerade die experimentelleren, Soundscape-artigen Stücke hier machen "All of Yesterday Tomorrow" auch für Hörer interessant die sonst weniger mit "Shoegazer"-Sound anfangen können...
"Well over a decade ago, Bristol was the birthplace of a community of psychedelically inclined art-rockers. At first, there seemed to be an open door policy to the projects that emerged, with members rotating between Flying Saucer Attack, Third Eye Foundation, Crescent, and AMP. Eventually, all of these projects settled into their own particular aesthetic with Flying Saucer Attack continuing an overblown 'rural psychedelia,' Third Eye Foundation completing the project that Kevin Shields never finished of bridging darkcore drum'n' bass with snarling guitar distortion, and Crescent sinking into an abject grit of narcolepsy. AMP had been the most elusive of the four, shifting between luminously smeared space rock and ungrounded electronics-plus-guitar noodling. When AMP were focused on their somber tunes, the smoldering washes of distortion and fuzz worked very well (i.e. their debut album Sirenes and their two proper albums on Kranky); but the exploration of guitar drone and post-Eno ambience proved to be less successful for AMP. This triple cd collection of singles, compilation tracks, and rare material from AMP showcases the highs and lows of their career. Fortunately, the less than inspired ambient noodling merely drifts into the background of this collection. It's never offensive, but just lulls and drifts, waiting for one of AMP's exceptional, slow burning crescendos balancing between Bardo Pond at their druggiest and the early '90s shoegazing contingent." [Aquarius Records]
2A collection of singles, non-album, compilation tracks, and unreleased material from long-running experimental music and sound collective AMP--RICHARD AMP and KARINE CHARFF. Thirty-eight tracks, including ten from the out-of-print singles album Passe Present. Includes a 20-page booklet." [label info]
