*Excerpts from the album. Now available from Experimedia.net.* Miles’ returns with a half-hour EP of new material more squarely aimed at the floor with four darkened, robust variants. “Blatant Statement” slowly emerges from a rough alignment of metallic percussion and abrasive stabs you’d most likely associate with Vatican Shadow, before super-warm bass stabs shifts the perspective. “Technocracy” delivers an oozing house deconstruction, while “Infinite Jest” revolves around an industrial cacophony somewhere between technofied Pete Swanson and a sweaty Kassem Mosse. “Plutocracy” is a bleached-out warehouse chug surrounded by a submerged choral arrangement.

In January 2012 we released a 35-track compendium of F.C. Judd’s music and sound, it was called Electronics Without Tears. Fast forward to Spring 2013 and we are back with Fred for a very special LP to reignite his legacy.

For our tenth release we asked some of our favourite artists working today to submit a reinterpretation of the greatly undervalued early electronics pioneer, Frederick Charles Judd. We gave them Fred’s entire archive of sounds, tone experiments, field recordings and lectures and left it up them to produce an audio artefact befitting of Judd himself.

The players invited: Chris Carter, Perc, Pye Corner Audio, Holly Herndon, Mordant Music, Peter Rehberg, Bandshell, Ekoplekz, The Boats, Leyland Kirby, Karen Gwyer and Ian Helliwell.

Interpretations On F.C. Judd opens with Fred himself, welcoming us into his world before Ian Helliwell takes us into a fractured loop of radio static and gargled musique concrete.

From here we lurch through pure tape trips (Leyland Kirby, Chris Carter) dubwise refractions (Karen Gwyer, The Boats, PCA), haunted never-zones (Ekoplekz, Mordant Music, Perc), sublime vocal deconstructions (Holly Herndon) and frightening slashes of electronic deviance (Peter Rehberg, Bandshell).

Throughout Inspirations, Fred is never far away, reminding us how important visionaries like him stalk even the most future-bound of electronic music.
