Jamal Moss aka Hieroglyphic Being aka The Sun God aka Chicago avant-electronic genius, student of Adonis, protege of The Muzic Box and overall overlord of experimental dancefloor mechanics returns with a BRAND NEW ALIAS (!!) and drops his second record for esteemed label Modern Obscure Music.
Encased in strange artwork which stretches out images of various dogs, it took me a while to realize that it was Jamal Moss behind the release. I have a feeling this is a deliberate move by the artist to offer up a body of work that's to be judged in its own merit, without any preconceptions alluding to what to expect.
Die-hard Moss fans will, of course, recognize the warped galactic production aesthetic favoured by the producer during his near-30 year career but this is a decidedly new (non)direction taken by the already quite non-linear and indeed, oft-astray producer.
Two tracks of over 18 minutes length each which crawl deceptively through tectonic mounds and deep underground caves; somehow churning up the landmass through a powerful array of equipment: Moog Mother 32 Semi-Modular Analog Synths, Behringer 303 Clones, Dr - 5 Drum, Korg Ddd1 Drum Machine, Ensoniq Mirage Workstation, Stagg Electric Upright Bass Casio Dh-100 Digital Horn Midi Sax.
