strange attractor - rorschach 2 - music for speakers - vinyl

New Copy

Genre: New Jazz / Headz

Rorschach II is the obvious successor to their debut LP released november 2004. Again, it shifts from jazzy ambient to clicky popsongs to post rock to experimental whatever, always on the cutting edge of contemporary production. It again features the characteristic voices of guest singers Edward Ka-Spel (Legendary Pink Dots) and Marie-Claudine Vanvlemen (Sonar Lodge), who also joins them live on stage. The third vocalist on this album is Richard Sinclair, who recorded and performed with Robert Wyatt (on the legendary album Rock Bottom, amongst many other occasions) and his own groups Caravan and cult band Hatfield & The North: one of the most original and fearlessly creative bands of the so-called Canterbury scene (with Soft Machine, Gong, Egg) in the early seventies. He now contributed his fretless bass skills and warm voice to Rorschach II. As an extra bonus you are treated to a Twilight Circus remix (vinyl exclusive!) of the title track from the first LP. Dub wizard Ryan Moore recently released an album with dj Spooky and collaborates with numerous dub legends on his own label M-Records. Rorschach II also features Dutch jazz musicians Jeroen van Vliet (Fender Rhodes) and Edward Capel (alto clarinet). Check!
