Inferno/Illusion (Edward Ka-Spel)



Music From The Empty Quarter. Issue 9 of March 1994.

I was grinning from ear to ear when this little beauty popped through the
letterbox, and that was before I even had it on the record deck. It
features two long tracks from the Dots frontman, very much in the style of
the more ambient tracks from his last CD. Inferno is the more
motivated of the two pieces, constantly re-evolving itself as it
progresses. Ka-spel puts more original ideas into one song than most can
hope for in an albums worth.

His thin voice floats through the haze before being swallowed up by the
swirling morass. Illusion= is quieter but still retains an element of
menace, a hint of something threatening. Oh, it"s on marbled pink
vinyl too with a classic Lady Loop sleeve. Inspired.
