InchKRK (At Home In Strange Places)Inch summons up the spirit of Sun RaInchs Lanquidity and Broadcast And The Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults Of The Radio was simply recorded on an iPhone during a live set which crackled with psychic connectivity on the Croatian island of Krk. The magical Morricone-esque lounge of InchYou Are Not an IslandInch, the blissed-out Jean-Claude Vannier style arrangement of InchInvisible WorldInch and burbling sci fi funk ode to a 1972 cult French animation, InchPlanet SauvageInch, were all recorded in nighttime sessions in an abandoned mill in Sudbury. The only two outsiders to work on the recording were Inch6th memberInch and engineer Syd Kemp and trusted friend Malcolm Catto, band leader of the spiritual jazz/future funk outfit The Heliocentrics, who mixed seven of the tracks (with Lucas taking care of the other three).1 KRK (At Home In Strange Places)2 Wise Children3 Cryonic Suspension May Save Your Life4 You Are Not An Island5 The Age of Immunology6 Magician's Success7 Planète Sauvage8 Backstroke9 Invisible World10 Language Is A City (Let Me Out!)
