Valence by Flotel
Cat No: ALEPH-4 (2,5-dimethoxy-4-(i)-propylthloamphetamine )
Flotel returns! After being relatively quiet these past few years after a variety of releases on esteemed labels such as Expanding Records and Cactus Island, he has awoken from his slumber to provide 60 minutes of a new vision fittingly entitled 'Valence'.
Review:
Norman Records:
Heheh, nice "Find The Others" quote from Terence McKenna on the inner cover of this tape. It's been ages since I heard anything from Flotel, probably something on Expanding I guess. This one builds from microscopic tones with gently emerge and evolve into strange bubbling noises before a massive lurking doomy synth hits and then retreats, making way for busier more dynamic sounds to create a trippy alternate dimension. I've no clue what's really happening here other than these weird ambient tones are really building some secret zone. Can't fully submerge into this one in a busy office but I reckon it's great material for some mental transportation. Chemical Tapes is proving to be a tidy label.
