Five Perspectives (on the same event) I was born to silence In the old hall gardens In the night time moon-glade To the scent of blossoms By the giant hedgerow And the sun breaks gently Near the bleached white building Dreams a man who's walking On the snapshot beach side Swoops a blue black swallow In the countryside I was born to silence I was born to silence I was born to silence Andrew Paine - 2009

about

"Five Perspectives (on the same event)" was originally released on Matthew Shaw's Apollolaan Recordings in 2009.

One single track with a playing time of just under half an hour, using Voice, Guitar, Harmonica and FX.

Limited to just 50 hand painted CDRS, using acrylic and ink on card sleeves housed in plasic wallets.

"...of extreme use for meditation, navigation and general cuntedness is FIVE PERSPECTIVES ON THE SAME EVENT, the new album by Glaswegian Andrew Paine on Apollolan Recordings.

Consisting of just one single 28-minute track, Paine’s highly original and rounded Vision commences with the artist chanting ‘I was born in silence’ over & over as cracked sounds and ambient squirmings from distant galaxies invade his sonic space. Gradually, as Paine itemizes the extremely specific details of his birth, various other hefty aural vehicles drop in for tea & buns at Paine’s lonely sonic roadside café, but all are eventually chased away by the artist’s obsessive chanting, which draws to it an incoming sea fog that obscures all detail and gives the impression of forthcoming disaster.

Powered by pipe organs, reed organs, bandonians and a harmonium, the disorientating overall effect throws up a scene from Ivor Cutler’s ‘Life in a Scotch Sitting Room’, as though invaded by New Age Presbyterians engaged in some vast Japanese Gagaku ceremony.

Timeless, weird, strung out, religious and self-obsessed; this is wonderful Western Music that celebrates the alienness of our modern culture in a similarly vocal-heavy & mythical manner as the Residents.

Julian Cope
