genghis tron
board up the house remixes
trr 142 lp

following the justifiably celebrated release of their relapse records debut, board up the house, we are proud to present the inaugural release from the ambitious genghis tron remix series called (wait for it...) board up the house remixes, vol. 1. in the end, twisting the already twisted sound of genghis tron can either straighten a song out, or further wind it towards batshit-crazy. thankfully, we’ve got a good chunk of both here.

zombi’s steve moore begins the series by expanding the very beginning of “board up the house” into a sprawling european film noir soundtrack; jesu’s justin k broadrick takes the schizophrenic grind of “colony collapse” and transforms it into a dirty booty-bass track just screaming for a missy elliott hook; rob crow incidentally pioneers mariachi-core by adding some spanish guitar and festive vocals to “things don’t look good”; and eluvium reimagines the 10-minute closer “ergot” as an outer space funeral dirge for the 24th century.

packaged in a jacket featuring “remixed” album art by jon beasley, this pressing is a limited edition of 1,000 copies on a special colored vinyl that corresponds to the artwork. future volumes in this series will be released by lovepump united, anticon, crucial blast and relapse records.

eluvium "copia" trr110

following a string of increasingly remarkable albums, eluvium's matthew cooper set out to broaden his instrumental palette, while maintaining the uncanny emotional resonance that has become his trademark. the result is ‘copia’, an hour-long epic that applies eluvium's heartache-inducing ether to a symphony of strings, brass, keyboards and piano. noticeably absent but hardly missed are the washes of guitars that color most of eluvium's previous material.

the deliberate exclusion of traditional rock instrumentation serves as sufficient proof that the instrument is not eluvium’s driving force. at best it is a catalyst, a vehicle to that netherworld in the back of your head, where your life starts to uncontrollably reevaluate itself.

eluvium "when i live by the garden and the sea" trr109

over the course of three albums eluvium (aka matthew cooper) has crawled from total obscurity to his rightful place as one of america's premier modern composers. tying up his career to this point - and acting as a companion piece to "talk amongst the trees" - the four pieces on "when i live by the garden and the sea" showcase both the neoclassical piano-driven elegance and the tidal drones that he has become almost famous for. it takes his explorations in sound and vision to their logical conclusion, clearing the way for a new phase to be unleashed on his next album in spring 2007.

eluvium "talk amongst the trees" trr78

working with a limited palette of guitars and piano, eluvium dropped lambent material, a masterpiece of aquatic drones and fractured neoclassical compositions, in 2003. he followed it a year later with a brief album of solo piano suites that turned everyone's expectations upside-down. not quite classical and certainly not ambient in the common sense, an accidental memory in the case of death garnered the kind of jaw-dropping acclaim that typically overlooks like-minded minimalist artists.

this was a breath of fresh air for cooper, allowing him to dive deeper than ever before. beneath the cold water glow, talk amongst the trees is a soundtrack for exploring the surface of your own ocean, slow moving like the sand that runs through your fingers, and incandescent like the most unique creatures of the sea. lacking most recognizable instrumentation (save the guitar mantra, "taken"), talk amongst the trees is an album that exists in its own fantastic landscape.

making no attempt to compete with the world outside, it drags you inside your own subconscious, allowing sentimental thoughts and memories to pile up on themselves. as the hour-long journey progresses, details fall away until nothing remains but a warm, colorless - but intimately personal - abyss. we're not sure how he does it, but once again eluvium creates a new and beautiful feeling.

eluvium "an accidental memory in the case of death" trr66

returning exactly one year after dropping one of the most consistently gorgeous ambient rock records of the last decade with 2003's lambent material, eluvium's matthew cooper follows it up with, well, one of the most consistently gorgeous neoclassical records of the last quarter century. an entire album of haunting, intimate suites for solo piano, this album is perhaps even more emotionally gripping than his previous acclaimed work.

recorded in less than two hours using only one microphone and no overdubs, it is completely live, with no editing, mixing, mastering or post-production of any kind on the recording. it is this sparse, naked beauty that makes this record so breathtaking and so addictive. well, that... and the totally mind-blowing artwork.

eluvium "lambent material" trr57

in the dictionary, the literal definition for eluvium reads: the debris from the disintegration of rock. one listen to matthew cooper's (aka eluvium) flawless debut album, even peripherally, and you can't help but smirk at how perfectly appropriate the moniker is. sounding somewhat like the echoed resonance of a sonic youth show after everyone has stopped playing and the crowd has gone home, cooper himself isn't guilty of the mass destruction, he's merely there to pick up the beautifully broken pieces.

resting comfortably and confidently in the spirits of brian eno's discreet music and ambient music for airports, eluvium is a freakishly beautiful affair. if it was ever possible for a warm gust of wind to send chills through every bone in your body, then eluvium is that warm wind. it is pure, epic rock music... after the lights go out.
