MAVIS (MARK SWIFT)

MARK SWIFT "AVE MAVIS" NOW AVAILABLE - 2006.12.29

Mark Swift "Ave Mavis" CD is now available for $17.00 with free shipping included worldwide from our online store. Yorkshire England based Mark Swift is one of three new artists to be discovered by Mr. Aaron Funk a.k.a Venetian Snares for Sublight along with newcomer Gareth Clarke and Wisp. Mark's "Ave Mavis" album is 11 tracks of cascading rhythms against a genuinely beatific pulse of soundscapes, recalling electronic music at its brightest, Mark's music is pleasantly nostalgic with an added originality we think will suprise you. Mark describes his sound as "not dissimilar to what "The Last Of The Summer Wine" theme tune might have sounded like if Cleggy and Foggy had habitually pushed Compo down the hill on a rusty Ensoniq SQ1 8-track Workstation rather than on a disused settee". It's okay we don't know either, you will just have to listen for yourself. Check out preview clips and tracklisting on our releases page.

I made a thread about this somewhere else to a fairly bad reaction. I really like this album, but I may be swayed by the fact hes local and some Yorkshire sampling thats involved

Yeah folks don't seem to dig old Mavis. But I'd have to say I discovered him before V Snares did.
