Cindytalk / Robert Hampson Five Mountains Of Fire / Antarctica Ends Here

"Cindytalk - Five Mountains Of Fire: Gordon Sharp (electronics), Paul
Middleton (drums), Dan Knowler (Guitar), Gary Jeff (Percussion) and Sherrill
Crosby (Electronics). Pre-mixed and re-played by GS at Roi Vert, Okamoto,
Japan, March 2009. Robert Hampson - Antarctica Ends Here: Dedicated to John
Cale. Recorded and Mixed at Thirst 2007­2009 in London and Paris. Design:
Dave Coppenhall. Cindytalk's Gordon Sharp and Robert Hampson (Loop. Main...)
are 2 characters of legend circulating on the periphery of London (and
beyond) underground music over the last 2 plus decades. It may come as a
surprise then that this stunning split 10" is the first meeting of these two
singular minds. 'Five Mountains Of Fire' by Cindytalk is a cracking track
taking their recent brittle electronic experiments and charging them with
firecracker like percussion to create a pleasantly disorienting soundscape.
Flip it over and Hampson delivers the practical polar opposite with
Antarctica Ends Here. An exceptionally beautiful piece utilizing piano and
carefully placed electronics so as not to break the ice, a tribute to John
Cale's 'Antarctica Starts Here' (from 'Paris, 1919' album). Limited to 500
copies."
