DE BABALON, CHRISTOPH - Scylla & Charybdis

Format: LP Label & Cat.Number: Cross Fade Enter Tainment (CFET) - PP012 Release Year: 2008 Note: second 12" vinyl album of DE BABALON after the "If You're into it, I'm out of it" milestone from 1997, moving between tension filled ambience and furious breakcore, between noise and melancholy, feat. the voice of ALEXANDRA VON BOLZ'N... original copies, lim. 500 clear vinyl, with huge collage poster Price (incl. 19% VAT): €20.00 More Info "In light of his hugely acclaimed and recently reissued classic 'If You're Into It, I'm Out Of It', CDB’s monstrous 'Scylla & Charybdis' [2008] plate creeps back out of whatever hole it slid down for a 10 year anniversary reissue on his Hamburg-based CFET label. Scylla & Charybdis is a first rate example of breakcore at its mutant and gothic best, executed by one of the sound’s definitive operators. In two 12 minute parts - De Babalon unfurls scenarios traversing from darkly cinematic, atonal strings and looming bass to lurching hybrids of Alexandra von Bolz’n’s doom metal vocals with distended speedcore rhythms and harpy chorales in Scylla, while the B-side’s Charybdis tests out a more mercurial, fluid blend of rolling 180bpm jungle breaks and uncannily naif vocal from Panacea-collaborator, Hanayo."
