limited to only 500 copies worldwide on deluxe 10″ vinyl. includes exclusive artwork insert designed by hair police’s robert beatty! the first in a 6 part series from the avant garde’s young upstart c. spencer yeh. burning star core may not be a name familiar to everyone, but in the murky world of the avant garde he is already something of a legend. notching up performances with chris corsano, thurston moore, john olson (of wolf eyes), jessica rylan, hototogisu and many more, his name has become synonymous with the new wave of avant-noise. ‘amelia’ is the first disc in a five part series which collects rarities from almost ten years of recording activity, and here we see him exploring the bubbling psychedelic world of synthesizer heavy krautrock. from the initial synth-heavy rumbling and growling of ‘i wanna make a supersonic woman of you’ it is clear that yeh is on a mission to throw your brain into a psychedelic overload of colour and creativity, but it is on the flipside – the eleven minute ‘the point of departure is no return’ that he really gets into the progressive spirit and conjures up images of tangerine dream at their best. micro-arpeggios are layered underneath gasping winds of analogue synthesizer to create something which should really be a soundtrack to some kind of late-70s fantasy sci-fi film. this is the lighter side of burning star core, but shows the kind of creativity and bubbling genius you can only expect from the mind of one so renowned – recommended.
