It uses a selection of vintage synthesisers, sequencers and FX units to provide a fertile sonic landscape to explore. The idea was to use simple sequences (using both analogue and digital units), sustained synthesiser pads and electronic piano improvisations, alongside various ancient delay, flange and reverb units. The beautiful, warm quality of the tones that exude from such instruments are very evident on the six tracks that slowly unfold their oscillations in organic, melodic soundscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"Black LP.","offer_id":50389927854411,"sku":"2055271","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD.","offer_id":50389926674763,"sku":"2055270","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/image007_af29e582_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726376745"},{"product_id":"polyrythmic-electronica","title":"Polyrythmic Electronica","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince the early 90s Ben Edwards has been exploring the sonic possibilities of electronic instruments under the name Benge. Over the years he has amassed one of the most exceptional collection of vintage synthesizers in the UK and continues to use them to create a unique sound that pushes the boundaries of their traditional use. His more recent projects include forming Wrangler with Cabaret Voltaire's Stephen Mallinder and Fader with Neil Arthur from Blancmange.\nRemastered and presented for the first time as a 12\" package, Polyrythmic Electronica, was originally released on CD in 1997. It displays Benge's distinctive take on the Electronica\/IDM genres. In this 5 track EP, he explores tempos and textures reminiscent of the early sounds of Bola, Wagon Christ or The Higher Intelligence Agency.\nThe thought of Benge's EP never making it on vinyl sparked the idea to dedicate the label System Of Objects to unearthing digital gems from the past and giving them a well deserved vinyl pressing.\nThis release has been acknowledged and supported by some leading labels of the genre (Furthur Electronix, Exalt Records) and has caught the attention of Vladimir Ivkovic.
