Short Back And Sides, by Charlie May

Short Back And Sides

by Charlie May

supported by

Jim Kartoffel-Kopf Great little album of snippets, and moments that recall some of Spooky's great '2nd phase' of Found Sounds-ness. Favorite track: Short Span Of Attention.

Colin Lovely collection of Ambient pieces from Charlie, ranging from drone smears to dissonant eeriness and floaty guitar experiments. Highly enjoyable background fodder! Favorite track: Panax.

about

This record is compiled from what i used to call 'working dats' ( digital tapes that would run in permanent record during sessions ) made during the mid to late1990's. Hard disk recording was still in it's scratchy, expensive infancy and certainly not the high quality, ease of use luxury we tend to take for granted today. All the tracks are not only over 20 years old but recorded either using a midi sequencer or simply played live with no overdubs through an analogue mixing desk straight to digital audio tape. I am often accused of being a slow worker.

If you're expecting Sasha's trademark progressive house/trance on his latest release, you will be sorely disappointed. Pivoting from-and deliberately not creating the status quo of electronic music-Sasha curates a lavish landscape that delves into avant-garde and "anti-dance dance music' territories with this stunning release of lush ambient soundscapes, surrealist breakbeats, subterranean techno, and laid back downtempo cuts. This is a deep, contemplative music you can dance to, sort of. DAS VILLAIN

Volume 1
by Quiet Places

supported by 20 fans who also own “Short Back And Sides”

I bought the record because it's stunning. So lush, with lovely layered textures. At times it's grand and emotional and restrained and tempered in other moments. I just realized that there was a code included in the package. Thanks so much. Clarisa Kimskii

The function of most Ambient music is to serve as background music. This album is too maximal and immersive for that. It draws you in and won't let go. Impossible to ignore, one to give your time to, and you will be rewarded. Incredibly beautiful. Myke McKenzie
