Lowfish - Memories Are Uncertain Friends Mp3

“Memories are uncertain Friends” marks the official return of the Canadian Suction Records label, still run by Jason Amm (Solvent) and Gregory De Rocher (Lowfish), and gives us a (first?) peek into their archives. All material on this CD was recorded in between 1995 and 1999 in one-take recording sessions. The Roland TR-808 sounds as harsh and brilliant as always, the sequencers run overtime and as on all Lowfish or Solvent releases quality analogue synthesizer sounds simply everywhere! Some of the tracks may indeed have a slight demo character but as electro tracks that you feel like wanting to listen to if even it may be only for the sound, they work perfect the way they are. All of the tracks have more of an ‘easy listening’ feel and pop structure rather than the experimental and complex nature of parts of the early LOWFISH output (eg the “Fear not the Snow” album), so, apart from the usual Aphex Twin and Autechre fans, all electro, minimal synth, minimal electro and early Portion Control and Skinny Puppy fans should not hesitate at all and give it a good try, here is an electronic music artist at work that still deserves more attention! CD comes in a metal tin case with handnumbered sticker.
