KHEMIA 008EP
|
To celebrate the second anniversary of Khemia Records welcome back In Aeternam Vale, the legendary French artist. The tracks "Dave" and "Circles" form an elliptical conundrum composed of various references including Kubrick's alchemical allegory 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), (sampled in French) with its existential narrative of a schizophrenic artificial intelligence lurking in the shadows.

"Minimal Wave is pleased to present a fourth 12" single from our French favorites, In Aeternam Vale. This one features another monumental 14 minute techno masterpiece called 'Gnd Lift.' On the flip side are two pure wave tracks, 'J'ai Mangé des Nerfs' and 'Animals Don't Mind.' 'Gnd Lift' is a slow building hazy hypnotic track with heavy atmosphere, fitting perfectly on a smoke filled dance floor. 'J'ai Mangé des Nerfs' is a classic vocal driven synthpop track with the grit characteristic of In Aeternam Vale's 80's cassette works. The 12" closes with 'Animals Don't Mind,' a slow and deeply emotive smoldering darkwave track that speaks directly to the heart, this one feels the most personal thus far. The Gnd Lift 12" shows us all sides of In Aeternam Vale, his strengths lying in his ability to create both techno masterpieces and classic underground wave tracks, moving seamlessly from one to the next. None of these tracks have ever been released before although In Aeternam Vale has been performing them live recently with much acclaim. The pressing is limited to 999 copies, all pressed on 160 gram clear transparent deep purple vinyl, accompanied by a hand-numbered matte printed sleeve."

"Minimal Wave is proud to present a third 12" single from our French favorites, In Aeternam Vale. This one is in the same vein as the Dust Under Brightness/Highway Dark Veins 12" and the La Piscine/Calling Somewhere 12". The single features two more epic, pioneering masterpieces. 'Machine à Laver' (Washing Machine) sounding much like its title, is 12 minutes of pure electronic hypnotica. And the flip side is a more straightforward 127 BPM, 11 minute number entitled 'Ultrabase,' which is an unashamed slab of innovative dub techno from 1990, existing completely outside of its genre. Neither of these tracks have ever been released before. The pressing is limited to 999 copies, all pressed on 160 gram clear electric blue vinyl, accompanied by a hand-numbered matte printed sleeve."
