about

Originally an Alto Stratus idea, the Biomechanoid project became something different. A concept based on the paintings of H.R. Giger, it resulted in vast tapestries of sound, meshed with electronics and soundscaping, a special island unto itself. From the early rehearsals through to mix-down it took over a year to complete. A great deal of preparation and invention went in to montaging sounds, fusing analogue and digital textures, with mechanical and organic properties, into a music of melody, dissonance, rhythm and form. Truly biomechanical music! The results are often unnerving, with an underlying elusive beauty. As one of Auricle Cassettes best sellers it was a prime choice for CD reissue. Digitally transferred by Colin Potter, and cleaned-up really nicely, with a bonus track, this now comes across as so surreal, cosmic and strange!
