Album Reviews
The second release from the new electronic label, Make Mine Music, is another collaborative effort. However, this time it's Bristol collective Schengen who dominate 'EP' having written or co-written all the music on offer. The tracks, recorded live, by Schengen and Portal are a delight. The first, 'Cap itol' evokes comparisons with the alien worlds of Boards Of Canada whilst 'B'Leaf' is steeped in Scott Sinfield's 4AD-style guitar playing and Schengen's Harold Budd-mimicing piano minimalism. Though these efforts are unquestionably the main attraction of the CD, two remixes are offered for a Schengen original named 'Seti'; Weyland's 'On Safari' mix borrows disturbing effects from This Mortal Coil and Innerise opt for the understated, downbeat side. Finally, Schengen go solo with the oceanic, well-titled 'Grace'. Long may Make Mine continue producing music of this calibre.
