A short note on the latest work from my good friend Simon Hopkins who manages the uncanny act of alchemy (or more accurately spinning gold from of the straw of my own playing) in his ongoing Boom Logistics/Abyssal Labs projects. The latest instalment under construction of Boom Logistics - Fifth (An Interim Offering) - work in progress - is the second full-length album and, as usual, is constructed from disparate sessions recorded at Simon’s Brighton home. As well as my noodling, there’s the usual suspects, Nick Reynolds and Peter Marsh and - making a huge difference to the end results imho - the piano of mutual pal, Steve Morgan. This gives a lot of the sturm und drang of Simon’s dark ambient modus operandi a very German vibe, in places approaching the condition of Cluster. High praise indeed…
Anyway - he’s put the new work into a handy Youtube playlist which you can enjoy here.
It was an honour to take part, as always…
