Syncopate by Peter Wright
An album largely composed using an Ensoniq digital workstation to distort and manipulate samples of guitar and keyboard drones. A forerunner to the Polio project to some extent, in that the original sound sources are mostly rendered and mutated under extreme processing and time stretching. Occasional human interactions are present, a snatch of dictaphone recorded vocal, or a bowed guitar.
Originally issued on a CDr in very limited numbers on Apoplexy, and never reissued until now. Includes two additional tracks intended to be released on a follow up album, but the project was abandoned halfway through.
