Editions Mego – EMEGO 272
Second outing from Jaeger and O’Rourke following the release Wakes on
Cerulean on Editions Mego in 2017. Covering a vast terrain with delicacy
and poise this new release unveils a spectral showcase for all manner
of deep abstraction. The first side positions itself somewhere between
stoned komische synth and more nuanced electroacoustic tactics, all
weighted by a melancholic undertow. The second side builds on the
tension of the former as an undulating drone teases all variety of
matter to rise and fall amongst the foreign space it inhabits. The
effect creates an enormous sense of deep space before subsiding into a
smaller more anxious flickering world. All manner of machines fold into
play; digital machines, industrial and analogue machines. The seemingly
random yet ordered nature of events is reminiscent of the behaviour of
the natural world providing this machine driven release a convincing
organic feel. Whether invoking mirrors, distant galaxies or a pond of
frogs it is a delightful challenge to focus and locate what is nature
and what is nurture. To play this loud is to immerse oneself in a
fascinating journey which carries the listener through an array of
dizzying emotional states.
