DIALECTRIC- Phases UK Import LP Polytechnic Youth 63 New Mint Unplayed

From Polytechnic Youth, “Phase” sees a debut outing on vinyl from Err Rec label head Gilles Mate’s Dialectric project. Impressed by the wealth of wonderfully varied analogue electronic music being released by this small, fiercely independent French label, it was surely a matter of time before PY & Errs’ likeminded paths crossed- and following a “cold wave” styled small run cassette release, Gilles releases a full length on PY for August. “Phase” is a timeless, minimal electronic record, heavy on hypnotic, emotional tonal arpeggios and sequences. Dreamily crafted introspective pieces, and short “Broadcastian” interludes, using a semi-modular system. Comprising of various analogue oscillators, effects and sequencers (Pittsburgh Modular, Moog, Arturia, Yamaha, Korg to name a few…). Mark Barton explains it as a cosmic carousel of sorts dreamily purred in hypno-grooving pulsar pirouettes, its analogue accents awash in intertwining corteges of softly dissipating kosmische spirals which aside appealing to our Tangerine Dream neuron receptors also arcs on the lighter realms of both the Pye Corner Audio and Listening Center spectrums to provide something that ultimately, ought to pique the interests of those tuned into both Ghost Box and Burning Witches frequencies.
