Tones and Zones

VINYL FORMAT. Limited to 500 copies! Bitchin' Bajas is the solo project of Cave's Cooper Crane. Cooper's skillful use of melody within his elastic electronic tones is matched by his ability to mix it all (much like he does with Cave) so that there's a lot of sound but even more space and separation between the sounds. Through some sort of cosmic serendipity, Important has ended up releasing this at the same time as J.D. Emmanuel's classic Wizards LP from 1981. There are some interesting parallels between Tones & Zones and Wizards. Both artists have a firm grasp of sound without wading too deeply into the blissful waters of new age melody. Both used an organ and a similar assortment of analog synths, and both used the same Tascam reel-to-reel tape machine for their recordings. Though nearly thirty years separate them, they're both generously offering you the opportunity to dive deeply into their own private Tones & Zones. Enjoy.
