Photodementia - Fig. 04

"Ellen O’Maley, originally from Newcastle, born to Irish parents, moved to Canada in her late teens to study music at UBC in Vancouver. While attending the University she met Bernard Davies and Victor Beaudet, co-producers of the late 90’s cult project ‘Photodementia’, who’s most renowned 3rd release was re-issued with warm reception in 2011, as the debut release of a label archiving the project."

"Ellen joined Photodementia as an occasional conspirator, who interviews of the time quote as being ‘inspired by late 70’s/early 80’s New York New Wave, Krautrock & the UK electronic scene, Cabaret Voltaire, Human League etc’."

"Figure 4 is most of an unreleased LP Ellen and Victor recorded shortly after the Beaudet/Davies original Photodementia sessions, in Washington DC. The 7 tracks run in at just under half an hour, ranging from roughly 120-140 BPM. The band’s influences are clear from the music, as is their virtual Venn diagram involving peers such as Dopplereffekt, Underground Resistance, Hashim, Plaid, Beltram etc. The music has an original and unique quality all the same, from sinister dance groovers to light soothing tunes, the production shines through, not showing it’s age at all yet. Music from the past that remains Futuristic, it belongs in your record collection."

"More Photodementia releases follow in 2013, a compilation CD is hot on the heels of this EP and a full length album by a new signing to the label is nearing completion now."

Rephlex HQ needs to stop taking drugs while making all this shit up.

Instead of their philosophy of "only the music counts, no identities and ego's", they sure fuck up with these fake extended bio's, not making it more anonymous but making it more annoying. It's exactly the opposite of what Grant said in his interview during the Tuss identity crisis period

Yeah, it's annoyingly silly.

neither bernard davies nor victor beaudet had a cult project in the 90ies, there were never 3 releases, and the 2011 "re-issue" was the first known thing in human history to feature these names written on it.

also debut release of "a label". even the label ist mysterious....this is really hilarious, badly invented stuff.

you all wasted time reading this bio, so here's something to make it worth visiting this thread:

but still great news that they found something new from 1997 :D

looking forward to this.

you see guys we need the troon to keep us updated, hail to the king

great, looking forward to this, and the CD

yup

some of you need to cheer up ffs

wicked news

"Due in on 22nd February 2013" that can't be right

it is dumb. if they really did have some kind of actual philosophical stance on this shit, and believed that the music is most important, and didn't want 'celebrity' or whatever to influence anyone, they'd have richard or whoever is behind this stuff release on a different label. pull strings, use connections, to get some releases out under lesser known labels. clearly they are just using this crap as some kind of dumb marketing ploy. there is no way they think anyone is being fooled by this crap. the best that the trickery accomplishes is making us not know for 100% sure which of the already signed Rephlex artists are behind this, OR what combination of them are.

it's trolling. rephlex is trolling us.

haven't they always?

except back then it was called taking the piss

heh, what is up with that phrase? WHERE are you/they/whoever taking the piss TO?

and/or what will be done with the piss once it's taken? and typically people don't really want to keep their piss, that's why they put it in toilets. so if you take the piss out of someone.. it's like you're doing them a favor or something isn't it? in some disgusting kind of way? a gross favor? i say let people keep their piss.

crazy brits

tomfoolery
