Its a Double A Sided 180gr and first up is the widescreen cinemascape of >American Dreamer<. The 2nd track >MZ Medley< takes us back to the heady days of the late 70s and the pioneering edit culture of Tom Moulton, Walter Gibbons and Francois K.
After their spring adventures into the deep and multi layered universe of soundtracks and head music, Joel and Matt are back with their second International Feel single, the result of a summer long studio session in the heat of Berlin’s Kreuzberg.
It’s a Double A Side and first up is the widescreen cinemascape of ‘American Dreamer’. Inspired by their obsession with rugged Americana, it soundtracks the vastness of the plains, the emptiness of the desert and that sense of an eternal slow-motion line on the horizon, unmoving and unblinking, that can only be filled by the largesse of Dennis Hopper and his band of tragic cult heroes.
The second track ‘MZ Medley’ takes us back to the heady days of the late 70’s and the pioneering edit culture of Tom Moulton, Walter Gibbons and Francois K.
That original reel to reel work led to the early cut n paste disco medleys and whilst the new generation of splice and dicers have yet to reference this particular segment of vinyl culture, when you’re continually searching for the next horizon like Matt & Joel, its no surprise that you’re going to latch on to the rawness and excitement of those original experiments and incorporate that vibe and flow into your own future-proofed productions.
Plagiarists take note – it happened (again) here first…….today.
