about

Zwaremachine - Be A Light(Special Edition) CD/digital

Sliptrick Records and Zwaremachine present Be A Light with a special edition release.

This special edition re-release of the bands full length debut includes an additional track “Remain Unseen” and 5 remixes. These mid period recordings setting the foundation of Minimal Hypnotic Industrial Body Music for the band and the addition of select remixes by Planktoon, Aim&Execute and Audiocentesis foreshadow the future.

The decision to have a minimal approach to the songs on Be A Light was about having spaces to let the reverb decay and that is why slower tempos on this album were chosen. Zwaremachine tried to maintain a tight focus on the sounds used and have driving bass-lines and hard quantized drum machines be the prominent part of each track. A lot of the sonic choices for drums and synth sound design were also a nod to the early ’80s pioneers of EBM and electronic music, but with a more modern approach for the mixing and mastering.

This is a triumph! So hard to pick just one track when each song is better than the last. Klack has really just got a great sound that can be successfully remixed into just about anything. Personally I think the first 6 tracks are perfect Ned Michaels
