Vertical Form New Release Information. Artist: Pub Title: Summer Track Listing: a) Summer (Original) b) Summer (They Can=B9t See Us In The Dark) Delay Configuration Cat No: VFORM003 Format: 12=B2 Release Date: February 28 / 2000 Distribution: Ideal Vertical Form takes its concentration of dancefloor based atmospherics and club orientated electronics into yet another unpredictable direction by temporarily drawing away from=20 the more DJ orientated material than that of its previous releases. For this third release, we present the work of lo-fi experimentalist =8CPub=B9, one of the founder members of the ultra low key Glasgow based =8CAmpoule=B9 collective. The =8CPub=B9 sound is something derived and formed as a result of a multitude of completely live and improvised studio sessions, with a unique direction in sound and feel developed from the input of a variety of inventive, experimental and unique production techniques applied during live mixes and therefore playing part in creating an ultimate piece of sound and groove research. The sound itself is a format in its own right, a type of structure and form of groove, with no set rules as to where the groove can or cannot end up or can eventually take the listener. With compositions flowing endlessly without any obvious start or stop points to the sequences, the direction=20 and flow constantly changes and re-invents itself drawing the listener captive into a heavily complex, inventive yet accessible body of work. The original version of =8CSummer=B9, is a masterfully and beautifully crafted sixteen minute long epic sound journey, which delves deeply into the blissed, melodic almost aquatic side of atmospherics and electronics. By fusing together heart moving melodies alongside carefully and expertly placed vocal snatches and delayed, compressed sound formations, the groove develops into a beautifully shaped piece, that produces quite unique and special results. The B-Side of the project provides a stunning reconfiguration by Helsinki based Vladislav Delay, widely known for his works on Sigma Editions, Chain Reaction, Max Ernst and Force Inc/ Mille Plateaux. As the original composition was recorded completely live; absolutely no sound sources, samples or sequences were provided whatsoever and the reconfiguration was composed entirely as Delay=B9s own vision of certain thought provoking and unique elements of the original. By turning and recalculating this musical vision back into a completely new groove, the initial detailed melodic elements of the original are restructured in a much deeper, crisp and more experimental direction. In total, the piece lasts over eighteen minutes, with a number of differing structural and textural changes continuously added and withdrawn at varying stages of the groove=8Cs development keeping the depth and feel continually fresh without ever losing direction. To conclude, the project offers over 34 minutes of music, inventive and innovative in every possible form. Future electronics that incorporates the complexities of sound and audio research in parallel to a knowledge of groove and funk, each of which are expertly executed in a format that is completely unique, fresh and most importantly abstract in an accessible and relateable format.
