REYNOLS - Peloto Cabras Mulusa Olve LP
I humbly request to be on the same space ship Reynols is on.
Highly recommended.
Many things have been said about Reynols over the past 30 years but altogether seem not yet enough to poroperly describe the unclassifiable Argentine group formed by Miguel Tomasín, Roberto Conlazo and Anla Courtis.
Peloto Cabras Mulusa Olve appeared at the very end of the XXth Century bringing a vivid sonic portrait of one of the wildest periods of the band. After a whole year playing Monday-Friday as house band of a Medical TV show broadcasted on Argentine’s National Channel [ATC], the group recorded these remarkable tracks in '99 at their own Ornitivo Studios in Buenos Aires.
Based on a trio line-up, with Tomasín’s verbal laboratory in all its glory plus his chunky drums and a playful pair of sharp guitars jumping electrically all around, the band reached an intense trademark distorted sound. Recorded in a complete analog mood -due to magnetic tape’s magic- and without overdubs of any kind, this music remains as a milestone of a savage era.
Raw, powerful, vital, oneiric and beyond description, this obscure gem was originally released as a 1999 ultra-limited tape, which sold-out that same year. This LP brings the album to the new century carefully remastered by Myles Boisen (who worked with artists such as Fred Frith, MX-80 Sound, Daevid Allen, Malcolm Mooney, Anthony Braxton, David Lynch) and also expanded with two unreleased tracks from those epic sessions.
“I know Reynols indeed: they are among the most experimental and wild people I’ve heard” Thurston Moore - Thurston Moore (Rolling Stone, Dec 2014)
"The Reynols frontier is, in terms of sheer sonic, aesthetic, and conceptual creativity, an infinite expanse. It doesn’t break out of barriers so much as it evaporates them. It’s not that the rules don’t apply in Reynols music. It’s that nothing applies. The sound is itself, and everything else." Marc Masters
