First
released on 7th September 2000, “Electronomicon” shows Pitch
Black developing their deep dubby sound further by creating long and
involved song structures that traverse a range of sonic experiences.
The resultant album journeys from organic ambience and layered
soundscapes to skanking keyboards, cutting acid riffs and thumping
rhythmic grooves, with dub being the glue that holds it all
together.
“Electronomicon”
reached 28 in the New Zealand album charts and led to a sell-out
30-date tour of New Zealand and Australia. It has since gone on to
become one of the duo’s most popular albums, regularly finding new
fans around the world.
To
celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release, the band dug out the
original audio files and Angus McNaughton has re-mastered them for
the vinyl release. Hamish Macaulay has also adapted the original
artwork, creating a brand new collage for the centerfold out of
pictures taken at the time.
"Electronomicon"
comes out on vinyl only
from
select stores (see the
facebook event for
a list) on Saturday
26th September.
