GREG HAINES – WHERE WE WERE CD | 2x12'' | DIGITAL Reissue

[ www.denovali.com/wherewewererepress.jpg ]

Limited vinyl Reissue - 350 pieces with solid gold / black a/b color effect.

This album is the result of one person sitting alone in a room and creating something entirely personal, without the frustrations of organising large-scale sessions for other players or the laborious work of preparing scores. In fact, the few scored moments that were written were later disregarded, with a whole string session with PETER BRODERICK ending up on the cutting-room floor (sorry, Peter!), along with endless hours of other material. What is left is the condensed diary of a year of exploring old tape delays, analog synths and percussion - some of which played by percussionist/composer SYTZE PRUIKSMA (a member, along with Haines, of THE ALVARET ENSEMBLE, whose debut album was released in December 2012 by Denovali Records), and some of which played and recorded in a midnight daze at Haines' studio in Berlin. Working in this way led to a whole host of other long-term influences feeding into the music that had never found an outlet before. The experiments in dub conducted by the likes of KING TUBBY or LEE PERRY and continued by the likes of RHYTHM & SOUND had a profound effect, as did the iconic work of TONY ALLEN and other African composers. The spaced-out soundscapes found on early TANGERINE DREAM and KLAUS SCHULTZE had always had a subtle influence on Greg's work, but now armed with an arsenal of dusty studio toys, those sounds became warmer, richer and more prominent.

The influences evoked here may at first appear at odds with Greg's previous work, but an affinity between the dense poly-rhythms of Africa and beyond have long been an influence for contemporary composers such as STEVE REICH, and their reach and importance on western music is undeniable. But now the lines have been blurred, and its impossible to say where one “style” or influence stops and another begins – something that was perhaps the only concept for this record. The symphonic synth crescendo of “So it Goes” would not have the same impact if it were not following the head- nodding drive of “Something Happened”. The delicate arpeggios of “Wake Mania Without End II” only exaggerate the unrelenting, rhythmical explosion of “Habenero”, and without starting with the intimate piano of “The Intruder”, the album's cavernous ending wouldn't feel so otherworldly. Its all in there or at least whats left of it after the hiss, the dirt and the degradation of the tape machine destroyed it, reworked it, and spat it back out fullyformed. Mixed and mastered together with NILS FRAHM at his Durton Studio, Berlin.

2015 Reissue of the 3rd full length of the cult outfit from France. 2010: Three years after Pessimiste(s), two years after Nihiliste(s), and one year after Misanthrope(s), there are still those red flickering lights, the fog and the mood of desperateness, in(s)aneness and darkness if you listen to this band. CELESTE are back with a new full length. In times where other metalbands copy their last full length or try to catch attention with a new producer for every new record CELESTE are just trying to extend their sound and the intensity with every new song. And they did it again. They again wrote a heavier, better, darker full length than the last time. And... in this context they enhanced their unique, incomparable sound with new elements: they interlaced well fitting samples and for the first time they experimented with guest musicians and new instruments. Two people from LES FRAGMENTS DE LA NUIT joined them with piano and strings. CELESTE and piano & strings? Yes. And it fits perfectly. Naturally they again created a new level of denseness in their sound – and that's maybe the reason why they found so many new fans in several genres during the past 10 years. From black metal to sludge, from doom to posthardcore – the people love them because they're not copycats – they're not trying to exhaust any genre clichés - they're creating their own dark soundscapes with every new record. Seven songs (more than 40 minutes) of pure hopelessness and distress. And it's pretty simple to circumstantiate their success: they're still an excellent liveband. ‘'Don't pass up on the heaviest albums of the year of one of the best metal bands of the past 10 years.''
