Reviews
Boomkat (UK):
Marking 10 years of The Tapeworm’s underground digest, Dale Cornish yields a patchwork of its odd charms cutting right across the label’s practically unparalleled catalogue from A-Z.
Closely affiliated with the London-based label since the early daze of 2009, Cornish himself has issued two tapes on the main label and a handful on its sublabel Vantiy Productions, placing him in good stead to fathom its rarified and far-flung missives from the fringes of avant-garde, experimental composition.
The mix is suitably, sensitively arranged from fragments of some 26 works from Laura Agnusdei thru to Ziúr x Chateau Laut, taking in the concrète spectres of Howlround, Jay Glass Dubs’ echo-chamber inversions, the singular computer music of NYZ, and Dale’s own fractured rhythms during a gently but potently mind-bending trip.
Bleep (UK):
A is for Laura Agnusdei, B is for Blood Music, C is for Dale Cornish… Master mixer Mr Cornish appears on The Tapeworm to celebrate its 10th anniversary with a unique ABCs of what he’s into, in no particular order. Across this double-sided, cassette-only release you’ll hear the likes of The Dead Mauriacs, Davide Luciani, Kostis Kilymis and Steinbrüchel. It’s an eclectic mix of the great and the good, fit for such an occasion.
