Christoph De Babalon - Short Eternities [Love Love Records]

Release date: November, Friday 13th

With a career spanning over two decades, Christoph De Babalon has consistently created music that stands apart from contemporaneous trends. Early 12”s such as ‘Destroy Berlin!’ on Alec Empire’s Digital Hardcore Recordings (DHR) and ‘We Declare War’ on his own Cross Fader Enter Tainment (CFET) outlet first presented his cathartic brand of noise-orientated drum & bass and his isolationist tendencies, with extensive support from the late John Peel and Thom Yorke helping Christoph achieve somewhat of an outsider-status. More recently his ability to remain separated from specific spheres of influence has allowed him to deliver uncompromising releases like the mutated conceptual album ‘Scylla & Charybdis’, as well as his diverse 2012 album ‘A Bond With Sorrow’ on Tigerbeat6, marking a departure from the chaotic flurries he was perhaps previously more known for.

oh wow! I just heard about this guy the other day. Really awesome.

His album 'If You're Into It, I'm Out Of It' is pretty spectacular, and I say that as someone who only got into it sometime during the last decade or so. His other releases don't have quite the same effect on me but I'll be sure to give this one a listen anyway.

yeah, same for me. "If You're Into It, I'm Out Of It" is a banger.
