pimmon & co review



from The Wire issue 192 feb 2000:

pimmon 'vpe' ERS 12/01 LP
mnortham 'many rivers move...' ERS 12/02 LP
87 central 's/t' ERS 12/03 LP
"Three arcs of edgeless fascination, which really deserve individual
treatment...but for the sake of economy we'll say that they have
'a sound' in common. Each explores a beatless plane of immanence
-aural space folded back to little more than a limpid impulse of
shiver and crackle: a low-watt hi-tensible balance between fuzziness
and clarity. Drones multiply out of the encrypted hum, dross glints
with gold. Like Obscure or Mille Plateaux, ERS are definitely on top
of something which demands listening time to itself. Like the Mille
Plateaux crew, these artist use patient studio manipulation to sculpt
sound far from dead matter, like quizzical angels calling from the air.
To engage with each of these tranches/trances of deft experiments is
to attune your day to a silence of truly heightened listening: to win
back live time out of 'dead' sounds. Germinal.      Ian Penman."
