may 2011 release ; ... love the whole pretext here ; personally, if ni were to market a product that produced music that sounded anywhere near this interesting (on a rhythmic, yes, but mostly timbral scale) i’d consider upgrading my komplete set for the first time since it began gathering dust in the mms “software ghetto” :: ... anyways, mark’s recent flurry of activity continues here, with a series of pieces recorded just two months back (good job on the concept-to-market follow-through peter !!!) merging the a-rhythmic chatter of “ul8” ‘s best moments with a kind of “product demo” sensibility that’s fairly prescient given the contempoary reality of “that new shiny bit of kit that will jump-start my career” (any of you that are friends with richie devine on facebook know that there’s just an insane amount of this sort of thing being launched every week ; very little of it seems not to pander to a 1998 “clicks ‘n’ cuts” aesthetic that you’d think we’d have all moved on from by now) ... comes in a b/w double-wide sleeve w/ a 6-panel fold-out poster (see below ; via mms “hand model” gm) ...

emego 111 / mark fell ul8 cd written and recorded in whitby, york and rotherham (uk) during summer 2010 by mark fell. mastered at dubplates and mastering berlin in 2010 by lupo. packaged in 4 panel digipack with silver foil print middle sized member of the ul range, the ul8, a three unit system, embodies the good looks and high performance associated with celestion designed products. utilising the hd1000 pressured dome tweeter and an 8 inch mid/bass driver, which together a similar sized a.b.r. combine to give an overall frequency response of 30 hz to 28 khz. the mid / bass drivers large magnet system perfectly controls the excursions of the specially processed bextrene cone assembly with its 1.5 inch voice coil. designed to a precise specification, the ul8 achieves highly realistic ‘music’ reproduction. this project takes its name from the celestion ul8 speaker. my older brother bought a pair of these when i was starting comprehensive school, and between his 10cc and supertramp records i first encountered electronically synthesized sound at high volumes. i soon noticed a pattern emerging in my musical tastes which excluded guitars or drums. instead i favoured almost exclusively the electronic textures and rhythms of the human league, fad gadget and other synthesiser based music of that period. i was quite curious about this prejudice and would try to work out why kraftwerk sounded so much better than a rock band of the time. so began my interest in the texture of synthetic sound - there was something much more beautiful (and perhaps more emotionally charged) about a sustained square wave than any guitar solo. i began search out and replay sections of music which dropped to a single sound - these, for some reason, were the best. this interest increased when, a few months later, my parent's next door neighbour (a technician in the electronics department at sheffield university) let me borrow his analogue synthesiser on semi-permanent loan. and, following that, i managed to convince my dad to buy me a cheap second hand boss dr55 drum machine. many years later mat steel and i used the ul8 speakers, now relegated to an attic in a rented house, to work on early abandoned 12" projects (circa 1993). finally my brother gave in to demand and let me have the speakers which now sit in my front room. although these are of little use in a studio context, they still provide an adequate and often rewarding listening experience. the tracks here replicate the simple monosynth and drum machine equation; and have, to a large extent, been made with and for the ul8.
