Greater Than One "Airstream / Bloodstream" 7" Brainwashed Recordings 003 1999 (10:27)
Airstream (5:17)
Bloodstream (5:10)Greater Than One is Michael Wells.
Brainwashed 003 has arrived! I have very little Greater Than One (or any of the numerous other projects) in my personal collection, so I was unsure of what to expect. What I got makes me want to search out more. This 33 ('playable at any') rpm 7" is on bright red transparent vinyl and features two 5+ minute tracks. "Airstream" is akin to the ominous drone based work of Coil: waves of shimmering synth notes and pads coupled with an extremely deep bass throb loop. The b side, "Bloodstream", is similar: deep bass throbs, synth pads and glitches with a gentle 'thump, thump, thump' bass drum and hi hat pattern make for a dark yet sublime minimal techno track. Once again the packaging is first class with cover artwork by Ben Palmer, postcard artwork by Daniel McKernan and a Brainwashed sticker. Yep, this is another winner. Soleilmoon will regret their decision to not distribute this one ... get it direct from Brainwashed instead. Collect 'em all! Trade 'em with your friends! Mp3 samples are available at the Brainwashed Recordings page ...
