Monday's Long Song

Richard Fearless's new album, an ambient/ industrial tour de force called Future Rave Memory, came out on Friday. It's a largely drumless re- imagining of his 2019 Deep Rave Memory which was itself an intense and detailed techno journey into the city at night. If anything Future Rave Memory is even more so- hard edged, single minded, white light and dark drones with long building passages where time seems to disappear. It's both heavy and weightless and the perfect soundtrack for a world where our leaders are corrupt and have abandoned any pretence of acting in our best interests. Tamas is the opener to the album, thirteen minutes long, slow motion drones and dissonance, a sort of metallic fog.

Brilliant description Adam, it is like a metallic fog. Deep Rave Memory was one of my favourites of last year, but on first appraisal, I'm thinking this version is better

That was wonderful...I wish Hans Zimmer would have brought in Richard Fearless to score some of Dune!

Thanks, this is sounding brilliant.
