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.

I must admit that I am impressed (again). This is one of the best releases that I have come across in years. It has so many nuances and every track is a small masterpiece on its own. It's hard to pick favorites as every song has a different style and listening to it several times reveals always something new. Anyhow, that particular moment in Plight, when the bass drum kicks in while the vocoder voice is playing is truly a magic moment. Love it. Thank you for your work. Ravindra Abeynaike
