Subway II LP

LP : £ 13

Subway are Michael Kirkman and Alan James. ‘Subway II’ was recorded at home in East London using a plethora of analog equipment and techniques that enabled them to create a sound reflecting cityscapes such as Berlin, Dussseldorf, Detroit and Paris whilst at the same time creating a contemporary musical commentary of London in 2009. ‘Subway II’ is a startling cosmic marriage of influences – German electronic rock music from the 1970s (Cluster, Kraftwerk, Neu,Harmonia, Ash Ra Tempel), 80s Detroit science fiction techno (Carl Craig, Juan Atkins, Jeff Mills) and a hint of Italian and European Disco (Danielle Baldelli meets Cerrone, Space,Moroder and Jean Michel Jarre).
