Planet Battagon’s \u003ci\u003eTrans-Neptunia\u003c\/i\u003e was recorded over a couple of days by Tugg, on Live Drums, synth bass, synth drums, and FX in almost full improvisation with associates Martin Slattery (bass clarinet, alto sax , Soprano Sax and FX), Oli Savill (percussion) Mickey Ball (trumpet) and Jack Baker (drums 3-tracks).. Avoiding the many pitfalls and cliches of both jazz and electronic music, the group jammed around a number of themes, whilst synth lines were triggered by Tugg making the machines partners in the group jams that laid the foundations of this album.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the wonky, twisting sonics of \u003ci\u003eWezlee’s Disco Inferno\u003c\/i\u003e to the frantic, scattered patterns of \u003ci\u003eEscape From Sedna\u003c\/i\u003e the EP is full of psychedelic textures and deep space distress signals, coded in a language transformed via earthly amplifiers to resemble a sound landing somewhere between the musical outputs of Sun Ra, Aphex Twin, Herbie Hancock and Carl Craig.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith early support from Gilles Peterson and The Wire, \u003ci\u003eTrans-Neptunia\u003c\/i\u003e is poised to further establish not only Planet Battagon, but the autonomous right to improvise of all imperfect drum machines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"On The Corner","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50456332042571,"sku":"1101543","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/b07792f1-a694-463d-bdc7-d5bbb94e8872_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727197674","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/trans-neptunia","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
