about
This split finds two eminent figures of the U.S. lo-fi synth scene pairing up for a bout of celestial reverie that reveals tonal virtues otherwise held in the pocket of each respective producer.
Golden Donna (aka Signal Dreams-honcho Joel Shanahan, Auscultation, Purpura) carries the tape's A-side with three ruefully blissful suites of rhythmic charisma presented earlier on releases with Not Not Fun, 100% Silk, CGI, All Hell, and many other hallowed imprints. "Poison Dart" soundtracks a certain woozie stupor that seduces as much as it haunts, playing a beautifully malformed take on lovers rock. "I Still See You" continues the heartbroken lament, keeping things optimistic with an overarching melody flanked by chord after chord of flirting embellishment. "Watching You Watch It Melt" provides a tasteful twist of sorts, adding an eerie element of uncertainty and seamlessly segueing into the ensuing shift of the B-side.
Lake Daggers' side of the split follows the recent Transient cassette on Golden Cloud with two long form drifts of gothic, kosmische revelry lovingly mastered by James Plotkin. "Rite 1" simmers in a synthetic murk of dusty, aquatic pulses, littered with ephemeral epiphanies that bob along with the unhurried pace. "Rite II" takes things even deeper into the woods, coursing through moonlit paths with a sense of cool panic. The track pulls from John Carpenter's textbook without plagiarizing or watering down the hallowed mystique. Alien shapes descend into frame, calling into question various pasts, presents, and imminent futures.

Having been a big collector of anything I can find on the wonderful Constellation Tatsu label the artwork alone of this release caught my attention. The cover art reminded me of those sci-fi paperback novels from the 1960's and 1970's that would flood my local 2nd hand book shops growing up that would take me to other worlds. Right from the first listen I was reminded of the mid 70's Virgin Years era Tangerine Dream, Klause Schulze, Jean Michel-Jarre, and Ashra. This is a special release and should be put out on vinyl or CD someday but in the meantime cassette or digital download is the only way to go which is fine with me as I still have several tape players lying around. This cassette opened up many other doors for me as I started buying other cassettes, vinyl LPs, and CDs by Majeure and lead me to discover Zombi (2) whom he is 1/2 half of (the other member is Steve Moore). I've even picked up a few releases by Steve Moore and I love it all so as you can see this one cassette was a monster of a release for me. Pick up a copy if you are able locate one as this cassette is long out of print with only small amount pressed. You can thank for me later. I like all the tracks equally on this release. Normally on my reviews I will break down favorite tracks but this is a stunner from start to finish.
