About this item

Max Graef's oddball eccentricity continues to yield stranger and quirkier offerings as Tax Free sign up the indecipherable, post-minimal-wave brilliance / madness of Running Out Of Time.

A mix of Detlef Weinrich & Madteo modern new wave EBM, Total Stasis' opiated haze and Tax Free's own recklessly playful experimentalism. It'll appeal to lovers of minimal wave and DIY electronics - Throbbing Gristle, Suzanne Ciani, Delia Derbyshire, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith etc. - but also modernist labels like Youth and Beat Bude.

Sequenced and arranged to be left in the shadows, the space and the silence resonate almost as much as the music itself. It's like you're lost in the vast catacombs of the BBC Radiophonic Sound Labs..... or perhaps stuck in Vendel's studio under Oklahoma circa 2006... Freakish, circuit bent found sounds rub up against playful mechanized rhythms and a tense, cinematic quality. It's bloody brilliant!

Limited copies, comes with a WINAMP-inspired sleeve (if you know you know!). Highly recommended!
