Editions Mego presents the fifth album by computer music hooligans, Evol, headed up by Roc Jiménez de Cisneros and Stephen Sharp. The ten tracks on the album are unlikely techno anthems, stripped-down hoovers, and deformed super-saws driven by extremely simple cyclic patterns. Ten pieces of identical length that focus on continuity, neighborhood, and iteration, but also on sameness, insideness and outsideness. Sharp and Jiménez de Cisneros have used key words such as "slime," "stretching," "sonic Play- Doh," "squeezing" or "folding" to illustrate the notion of homeomorphism (a metaphor borrowed from topology) in relation to the structural developments and the way in which tone bends in their rave synthesis tracks. On Proper Headshrinker, though, this continuous deformation is much more oblique, since the only source of variation in these monolithic structures comes from subtle phase modulations. The resulting straightforward brutality demands deep listening and, as usual, proper playback volume. Mastered by Russell Haswell in Suffolk. Cut by Rashad Becker at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin.
