Kwes - Songs For Midi - VINYL LP

2CD Book (36 pages, hardcover, 18x18cm) incl. Bonus CD DystOpium with 6 bonus tracks. 2ND FACE mastermind Vincent Uhlig has far surpassed the huge expectations stoked by the acclaimed debut album InchNemesisInch with his sophomore full-length InchutOpiumInch. The certified German sound magician has created a multi-layered masterpiece that does not just feed pure ear-candy to audiophiles as any headphone-test will confirm, but also thrills with excellent songwriting and lyrical depth. The sound of InchutOpiumInch is highly transparent and detailed yet at the same time aggressive and powerful, which perfectly fits the industrial genre, in which 2ND FACE operate and push the limits. Uhlig has invested five years of blood, sweat, and tears into this monster of an album. His work displays an obvious respect for industrial scene. The darkness of the Belgian school has left an audible mark in the sound of 2ND FACE yet also notes of SKINNY PUPPY, and even a knife tip of avant-garde pioneers TOOL. While referencing the industrial tradition, Uhlig also steers his own course, which for example manifests in his use of an EMS Synthi AKS and PPG-300 modular system inherited from his father - the krautrock pioneer Wolf-Rüdiger Uhlig (MURPHY BLEND, HANUMAN). Lyrically, InchutOpiumInch takes a deep dive through the human mind and embarks on a philosophical journey to self-awareness. 2ND FACE also hold a a subtle mirror to society, which is fragmenting while collectively opting for (social) media self-hypnosis in the face of climate change and war. 2ND FACE were conceived by Vincent Uhlig in the German city of Mainz, capital of the Rhineland-Palatinate, in 2014. The 2017 debut full-length InchNemesisInch was widely regarded as a Inchnewcomer of the yearInch and did not only receive much praise from critics but also sold particularly well. With the EP InchNihilumInch, 2ND FACE confirmed

Vinyl LP pressing. 2013 debut album from British producer, songwriter and musician Kwesi Sey AKA Kwes. He describes his own musical style as 'Free-Pop' which he defines as 'pop songs or music that can go anywhere, and they can sometimes be very noisy, very quiet or somewhere in between. It's more an ever-changing creative processes with a few constants than a musical style.'

South London-raised kwes. Is a producer, composer and artist who has collaborated with Damon Albarn, Solange Knowles, Loyle Carner, Nubya Garcia, Black Coffee, Sampha, Tirzah, Selah Sue and many others. After 8 years, he returns to Warp with Kinds - an expansive, intuitive work written following the birth of his daughter, exploring the restorative power of sound and colour.Kinds marks another departure for Kwes that sees him search again for the outer reaches of music's solar system. Made after a reset following a period of burnout, the record blends ambient and classical composition while rubbing up against the rougher textures of shoegaze. Short and tightly constructed, Kinds embraces minimalism. As the world outside becomes noisier, this is a project that creates calm and solace - while planting a flag in yet another new frontier of popular music.
