Previously unreleased in digital formats,Creach is the groundbreaking 1999 debut release from Ku-Ling Bros. (Shane Norton of Soundlab and Cabaret Voltaire founding member Stephen Mallinder).
Propelled to the dancefloor by the driving beats and sinewy bass of tracks like ‘Evolution of a Dope Fiend’ and ‘Systematic Hipster’ –and brought back to a funk-induced simmer on ‘Space Junk’ and ‘Octagon Head’ –Creach is a veritable blueprint for the many artists who followed Ku-Ling Bros. genre-melding lead.
Fans of Cabaret Voltaire will detect Mallinder’s noteworthy impact in the melding of world music and electronic dance on ‘Systematic Intro’ and ‘To Rock To The Rhythm’,as well as his industrial roots (‘Where’s James’).
Creach (Original Release) features audio from the 1999 Offworld Sounds (Australia) issue,and the re-issue project has been curated by Norton,Mallinder and Pete Caroll (Offworld Sounds)
‘Creach’will be available for United States domestic release –with newly remastered audio,bonus tracks and remixes –from 25 October 2011.
