Astral Social Club - Octuplex - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2009 . Octuplex is split roughly in half between Harmonia/Voigt-style chuggers and sweeping swirls of instantly recognizable dronage, familiar to fans of Campbell's extensive contributions to Vibracathedral Orchestra, Sunroof! And others. His interest in Techno comes out on 'Caustic Roe' and 'Muscle Adductor', which neatly compile the influence of recent minimal jam innovations with piles of synth and effects noise, lending the beat-driven tracks a rough, unfussy style.
