Smith is heard making observations on mundane objects, events and a range of meditation techniques basically associating his discontent with an apolitical british upper class. His voice forms the narrative component of an electroacoustic composition by Jan St. Werner placed in a hyper-real scenario evoking a state of transformation and deceleration. Molecular Meditation premiered at Cornerhouse, Manchester in 2014. This album presents a re-edited and remastered stereo version of the original multi-channel piece. Voice and guitar feedback were recorded at Blueprint Studios Manchester, electronics in Werner's St.udio in Berlin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe B-side consists of unreleased new work partly written around the same time as \u003ci\u003eMolocular Meditation\u003c\/i\u003e in context of Werner's Fiepblatter Catalogue on Thrill Jockey. \u003ci\u003eBack to Animals \u003c\/i\u003eis a non-metric rhythmic exercise frantically hybridizing percussive accents with synthesized pulse. On the \u003ci\u003eInfinite of Universe and Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e is an electronic opera based on Giordano Bruno's Renaissance writings which Werner was asked to conceptionalize for new music festival Music Nova in Finland. \u003ci\u003eVS Canceled\u003c\/i\u003e finds Mark E. Smith reading an email from Domino Records explaining their discontinuation of the Von Sudenfed project a band Mark E. Smith had founded with Mouse on Mars' Jan St. Werner and Andi Toma in 2006. Their debut album \u003ci\u003eTromatic Reflexxions\u003c\/i\u003e came on Domino out in 2007. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe vinyl record, cut with a diamond needle, provides as much acoustic depth as the digital version.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Editions Mego","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50448999350603,"sku":"1085337","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/molocular-meditation-featuring-mark-e-smith","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
