Welcome to Heavy Maple, the debut album from rec.tangle, aka Brighton-based, France-born Adrien Rodes. A lush, dream-like, instrumental whirl, it"s the first flowering of a major talent, and the new incarnation of the artist formerly known as Topo Gigio. Recorded as-live with Adrien playing almost all the parts, the album sees Adrien move away from his sample-heavy origins to instrumental music. 70"s synthesizers, acoustic guitars, acoustic and electric pianos, percussion, organs, sitar, zither and harp-like instruments were all crammed into his 8-foot square recording space in pursuit of the album"s full sound.
