CONTRASTATE - CD LIVE COAL UNDER THE..

Popis - LIVE COAL UNDER THE..:
1992 saw the release of "A live coal under the ashes" which was inspired by the events leading up to the changes across Eastern and Central Europe during 1989. This release marked the change conceptually in which the groups ideas became more specific and more focused on contemporary political issues. "A live coal." was critically acclaimed not just for the music, but also for the artwork and packaging: - a CD placed in the middle of a 12" clear vinyl record. After many years of unavailabity Tesco can finally present a re-release on CD with remastered tracks and a previously unreleased track called: "Death follows the one eyed cow". An album full of ambient atmospheres, drones, percussion, suitable dark narrations and some steady muted rhythms. These are intense, highly charged recordings with a powerful mystic and ritual feeling. A masterpiece of sound poetry. Comes in nice digipak. Total Playing time 50:30. Contrastate were formed in 1987 and disbanded in 2000. Ever since the demise of Contrastate there has been a void in the experimental music scene that no other act has managed to fill. Their diverse creative output, manifested as sweeping electronics and sound manipulation together with theatrical spoken word, was nothing less than mind blowing in its complexity and originality.
