Cindytalk’s Gordon Sharp and Robert Hampson (Loop. Main…) are 2 characters of legend circulating on the periphery of London (and beyond) underground music over the last 2 plus decades. It may come as s surprise then that this stunning split 10″ is the first meeting of these two singular minds. ‘Five Mountains Of Fire’ by Cindytalk is a cracking track taking their recent brittle electronic experiments and charging them with firecracker like percussion to create a pleasantly disorienting soundscape. Flip it over and Hampson delivers the practical polar opposite with Antarctica Ends Here. An exceptionally beautiful piece utilizing piano and carefully placed electronics so as not to break the ice, a tribute to John Cale’s ‘Antarctica Starts Here’ (from ‘Paris, 1919′ album).
