Formats

• OMCD01 - CD

Details

THE MUSIC OF THIS SCOTTISH BASED DUO OF MICHAEL BEGG AND DERYK THOMAS HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS ARVO PART CONDUCTING METAL MACHINE MUSIC. THE CONTRARY COUPLING OF AUSTERE, DEVOTIONAL MINIMALISM WITH UNHINGED, OFTEN SAVAGE SONIC ASSAULT IS STRANGELY APT. THEIR FIRST ALBUM WAS RELEASED ON STEVEN SEVERIN'S LABEL, THIS IS THEIR BRAND NEW OFFERING: WHEREAS THEIR FIRST ALBUM INVITED THE READER / LISTENER INTO A CERTAIN DARKNESS AND MAINTAINED A SOMEWHAT NARCOTIC TONE, PILGRIM IS A LITTLE MORE REAL, PROSAIC ALMOST, IN ITS RECOGNITION OF DAY TO DAY DESPAIR. FOR FANS OF "BLACKLIGHT DISTRICT" ERA COIL, NURSE WITH WOUND,BODY LOVERS / HATERS ETC. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

BEGG IS A WRITER WHO "FELL OUT WITH WORDS" AND DECIDED TO ADDRESS DARKER THEMES THROUGH PURE SOUND. HE OBTAINED SEVERAL THEATRE COMMISSIONS AND COLLABORATIONS WITH THE SCOTTISH CHAMBER ORCHESTRA (NIGHT LIGHT) BEFORE BEING JOINED BY HIS LIFELONG FRIEND DERYK THOMAS, ALREADY A VISUAL ARTIST OF SOME REPUTE (HIS "BURNING BUNNIES" BECAME AN ICONIC EMBLEM FOR MICHAEL GIRA'S SWANS 90'S PERIOD)
