If this item in stock, then you will get an infomation E-Mail!Ike Yard came into being as No Wave passed on, Industrial was in the air and proto-techno had yet to be coined. Propulsive, paranoid, aggressive electro minimalism, with as much attention paid to the mixing board and effects processors as to vocals, guitar and synth. At once starker and more fully-formed than virtually all other contemporaneous post-punk music. Desires 2012 edition represents the first ever vinyl reissue of this classic, prophetic album. The line-up for the third remix EP includes a great deal of diverse music. This is a 12 inch vinyl release, limited to 500 copies. Grey vinyl, black inner-sleeve. Artwork by Stephen Americh, inspired by the Factory America design for Ike Yard…
It starts with Powell (Diagonal Records) doing a great beat-driven rework of Half A God. It has been mastered by Matt Colton @ Alchemy Mastering. The A side is closing with The KVB doing a post-punk rendition of Cherish 8. Cherish 8 is also remixed on the B side by Vessel of Tri Angle/ Young Echo fame. The last remix (of NCR) is signed by UK enigmatic industrial/dubstep Bandshell. Ike Yard was originally a quartet comprising Michael Diekmann, Stuart Argabright, Kenneth Compton and Fred Szymanski. The group are active again after a 28 year hiatus, sans Szymanski; their most recent album is 2011’s Nord and they are currently working on a final album.[info from wa]
