Negative Rotation / Intensive Fracture

First in the series of albums collecting rare works of Erik Jarl also known for his involvement with IRM and SKIN AREA apart from his solo work.
His own compositions are an exquisite mix of static ambient with strong influence of drone, noise and industrial electronics.
This double CD is a reissue of two cassettes originally released by Abisko.
They were recorded on a Fostex 8-track recorder.
The two tapes sound very different, ”Negative Rotation” is cold and monotonous, but with some changes in sounds that repeats themselves, while ”Intensive Fracture” is improvised psychedelic floating noise.
Both recordings were done with analogue synthesizers and analogue effects.
This double CD also contains five bonus tracks from different and now rare compilations.
The cover picture and design was made by Karolina Urbaniak (responsible for the lastest covers Jarl, IRM and Skin Area albums and widely known for here photographic work).
Ecopak sleeve, limited to 250 copies.
