More Info

"Due to huge demand we are pleased to offer a CD edition of the iconic patina pooling release. Like its vinyl couterpart (now sold out) the CD edition contains a double album's worth of audio and comes housed in a folded laser etched weathered steel sleeve.

‘Patina Pooling’ developed from an extended collaboration between :zoviet*france:, in north east England, and Fossil Aerosol Mining Project, in Illinois. More than a remix / exchange project, it has been a real collaboration resulting in an album of exploratory call and response, a mesmeric hybrid of their shared fascination with the residual, both real and metaphorical.

Thankfully, we can offer this cd reissue of the instantly out-of-print collaborative album from :zoviet*france: and Fossil Aerosol Mining Project! Back in 2014, we were able to get a handful of the 2lp which was housed inside two slabs of rusted metal; and the cd version maintains the same packaging in a metal folio rusted just the same and laser-etched with the collective acronym emblazoned in the corner. The work of :zoviet*france: is scarce these days, with very little of the back catalogue available due to the interpersonal politics dating to the early '90s. So any recordings are more than welcome here at aQuarius, and this is also proving true for the like-minded sound spelunkers Fossil Aerosol Mining Project. Both outfits have long histories dating into the '80s (even as FAMP is a relatively new discovery to most) working with forgotten media, destroyed cassettes, uneasy ambience, radioactive feathers (oh, yes, it is true, though not on this recording), and tape-loop technologies. This "call and response of residue and hybrid" becomes a lucid dream of industrial gnosticism wandering through hypnotic cycles of fogged pattern, thrummed acoustic harmonics, and organic decomposition into jaw-droppingly sublime minimalism. As collaborations go, it doesn't get much more seamless than here on Patina Pooling. So highly recommended.
Once this inventory is gone, it is highly unlikely we'll be able to supply these at these price. (And mailorder folks, be aware, these are heavy, it'll count as more than one cd for shipping for sure.) Aquarius Rec
