presocratics baffling debut cd is best described as electro-acoustic agit-prop. works and days is an audacious cross between the old-school tape manipulations of bernard parmegiani and the wry politics of red krayola circa corrected slogans; it culminates with a faithful, lovingly orchestrated version of the mercer/mancini classic, moon river.

"having created a stir in the international cassette underground, the presocratics now surface with a debut cd whose brilliance lurks within a form that can best be described as electro-acoustic agit-prop. an audacious cross between the old-school tape manipulations of bernard parmegiani and the wry politics of the red krayola circa corrected slogans, works and days culminates with a faithful, lovingly orchestrated version of the mercer/mancini classic 'moon river'."
in 2004 jon philpot went on to release a solo release on eastern development under the moniker of 'bear in heaven'. |
