Finally, Regis lets his rhythmic noise opus out into the world, a bruising and hauntingly absorbing album – his first since 2001 – dispatched on his pivotal label; Downwards.
\nOn a masterful twenty-year followup to \u2018Penetration\u2019, Karl O\u2019Connor yields a definitive solo LP that distills his passions for sonic brutalism and bastardised Chicago tracks with syncopated UK swagger and reverberating warehouse ballistics. Its lip-bitingly gripping effect is testament to a resounding reputation as one of Industrial music\u2019s most influential producers, and sees the artist bring his own influences – from Test Department to Jeff Mills – into line with his potent palette of narcotised tones.
\nRecorded in Berlin with Einst\u00fcrzende Neubauten\u2019s producer\/engineer Boris Wilsdorf, the album\u2019s supple, spartan, and rhythmic gymnastics notably benefit from acres of icy room to roll around and lash out. Snagged around muscular bassline revs, and caressed with keys and vocals by postpunk catalyst Annie Hogan (whose recent turn for Downwards was a total revelation), the 9 tracks
\nportray Regis at his leanest and most mesmerising, which is all the more impressive coming from an artist who\u2019s deliberately held his line through club music\u2019s mutations for more than 30 years.
\nBetween the razor-sharp electro of \u2018Everything is Ahead of Us\u2019, and the pure voodoo of \u2018Calling Down A Curse\u2019, he sharply carves a uniquely UK and shark-eyed style that lets on to influence from tech-step D&B and dark garage rolige as much as Test Department\u2019s seminal \u2018Beating The Retreat\u2019 or 23 Skidoo and \u2018Crackdown\u2019-era Cabaret Voltaire.
\nHighlights such as the swingeing 11 minutes of swordplay drums and bubbling acid in \u2018The Sun Rose Pure\u2019, and the straightjacketed funk of \u2018I See Fire\u2019 epitomise the rudeness at play, and together with the viscerally personalised sound design virtues of \u2018Another Kind of Love\u2019, the immaculate noirish vignette \u2018Alone of All Her Sex\u2019, and the lush tristesse evoked by \u2018Eros in Tangiers\u2019, this album effectively defines Regis as peerless in his field, and is essential to fans of the artist\u2019s solo classics and with British Murder Boys, Sandwell District, Ugandan Speed Trials and CUB.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":516438,"template":"","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[12362],"product_tag":[32264],"giftcard-category":[],"musicartist":[10462],"musiclabel":[27349],"musicstyle":[37937,38021],"distributormusic":[10834],"musicyear":[],"musiccountry":[],"weekmusic":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-516461","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-out-of-stock","7":"product_tag-discogs","8":"musicartist-regis","9":"musiclabel-downwards","10":"musicstyle-experimental","11":"musicstyle-techno","12":"distributormusic-one-nation","14":"first","15":"outofstock","16":"featured","17":"taxable","18":"shipping-taxable","19":"purchasable","20":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/516461","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/516438"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=516461"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=516461"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=516461"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=516461"},{"taxonomy":"giftcard-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/giftcard-category?post=516461"},{"taxonomy":"musicartist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musicartist?post=516461"},{"taxonomy":"musiclabel","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musiclabel?post=516461"},{"taxonomy":"musicstyle","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musicstyle?post=516461"},{"taxonomy":"distributormusic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/distributormusic?post=516461"},{"taxonomy":"musicyear","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musicyear?post=516461"},{"taxonomy":"musiccountry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musiccountry?post=516461"},{"taxonomy":"weekmusic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/weekmusic?post=516461"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
