{"product_id":"potter-colin-rank-sonata","title":"POTTER, COLIN - Rank Sonata","description":"2018 repress. \"Colin Potter has been a central figure in the UKs DIY and post-industrial underground since the late 70s. His ICR label, founded in 1981, blurred the lines between post-punk experimentation, crude pop, Krautrock-inspired drone work and contemporary electronica, with releases by everyone from DIY legends The Instant Automatons through Chris \u0026amp; Cosey of Throbbing Gristle, experimental composer Trevor Wishart, drone soundists Andrew Chalk and Darren Tate and Bryn Joness Muslimgauze. He has also been a key collaborator with both Current 93 and Nurse With Wound, working in the studio with both groups since the late 90s as well as serving as a member of Nurse With Wounds current live line-up. From the late 90s to the late 00s Potters IC Studio, based in a Victorian Water Tower outside Preston, was a lightning rod for musicians working beneath the radar and a focal point for the nacsent UK drone scene\" --David Keenan, Red Bull Music Academy Daily, March 31, 2015. Rank Sonata encloses sounds of organic techno, somnambulistic dub, and dream-ambient. The nearly-20-minute track \"A Wider Pale of Shale\" sounds absolutely timeless, with an interplay between ambient and beat-driven passages that could play all night long. With \"You,\" Potter brilliantly weaves abstract sounds into an unexpected multi-layered dub track. The deep, slow reverb-rhythm of \"Knit Where?\" gives the record a touch of darkness and melancholy. Rank Sonata is a brilliant piece of music full of technical sophistication and innovation.\" - Hallow Ground. \u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/223957611\u0026amp;color=ff5500\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Hallow Ground","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":52004432711,"sku":"17323-HALLOW GROUND","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/R-7537311-1443528530-4279_jpeg.jpg?v=1571718259","url":"https:\/\/www.fusetronsound.com\/products\/potter-colin-rank-sonata","provider":"fusetron","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
