NYZ Old TRX 87-93 Purple Vinyl Edition

Unreleased bounty of 30 year old bleep techno, ambient/noyze and breakbeat hardcore from Dave Burraston’s cult NYZ project - rinsing his archived Amiga productions for animated gems comparable to Autechre’s Legofeet, AFX’s ‘SAW’ volumes, or the earliest Humanoid recordings. Following his mind-bending ’SHFTR FRQ’ LP for The Death of Rave in 2018, the award-winning, UK-born and Aussie-based artist/scientist excavates his HD from a golden era when synf and computer music boffins were building the future in bedroom studios, using then early versions of Cubase and Amiga software to establish the templates for decades of rave and electronic dance music to come. However, like a rare, mutant dinosaur skeleton that doesn’t fit historic models, NYZ’s unarchiving of ‘OLD TRX [87-93]’ offers a complex and unusually chaotic range of ideas for this era - from meditation tape-sampling downbeats to nutty proto-speed garage and animated noise - that plays out like a comic book or pulpy sci-fi narrative and smartly showcases the breadth of Dave’s prized imagination and technical nous.
