Pyramids Of Space - Mordant Music 073 Cassette

Comes out on Monday. Only the one sample so far and its released on cassette in 3 different colours. Heres what they say. If you purchase it direct from them you also get a wav download of the release. Got mine ordered.

Pyramids of Space…an excavated MMusty broadside from Cornwall circa 92-96 replete with misty provenance…a nebulous collective with an analogue core hashing out classic electronica from the heartland via Boss, Hitachi, & Cry Baby…a redolent distillation that iMMediately seeps into the bloodstream & will have walls sweating…POS had been residing in a lost chamber for a protracted phase until the Pharaoh's ferric curse finally got lifted by bailiffs…scale these dunes…IBM

Listened to a few of the tracks. Its 90 mins long with 22 tracks. Sounds a lot like B12, Global communication. I like it

yes i thought it sounds a bit like B12 circa 'electro-soma'. really nice!

Very nice, lush in fact, and very B12. Sold out already, can't have had many copies. Do you think it will be available digitally?

Oh great, guess I should have followed the MM link. So where does it say you get the wavs on purchase from MM?

So now the MM site says downloads always included with any purchase. I swear the site keeps changing every time I go there.

grabbed a few. sounds lovely. thanks OP

Ooooooh, that does sound quite nice. Very tempting.

The fellow from Mordant said he's going to send me the digitals later today.

Just got an email asking which colour I'd prefer, followed by a WeTransfer link to the digitals (1GB zip file) - grabbing it now.

So is that sample track pretty representative of the rest of it?

I, too, would like this key question addressed.

I dunno, my internet connection + 1.1GB download = fail.

Trying for a third time...

Ok - got it now. Yeah, the preview track is a good example of the sound, without spoiling the variation in there (some's a bit darker, there are a few more abstract tracks too.) It's got a proper 1993 Artificial Intelligence/ambient techno vibe start to finish, really enjoying it.

So the press release (if you can call it that) says "from Cornwall circa 92-96 replete with misty provenance". Is it supposed to be by someone well known? Could it be the Reload chaps?

I dunno...MM releases have generally been Baron Modant/BrianMorant (Thanet/Mr Maxted?) or somebody more lively (Vindicatrix, Shackleton, Ekoplekz). So, barring more info, I'd think it was Baron Mordant circa early 90s. I'm curious to hear if the soundclip is representative of the release in general before buying.

No credits on the sleeve at all so all a secret. Wouldn't be surprised if it was IBM though, it usually is.

Giving it a more in depth listen now, there's some really classic sounding stuff on here.

This is sounding better and better

A lot of the tracks makes me think of Reload

Looks like this is getting a digital release soon:
