Xam – Tone Systems LP

The mighty debut outing from Matthew Benn’s new Hookworms side project XAM! This is a killer record merging both the artist and labels’ love for the more electronic/kosmische side to the kraut groove à la Sky and Klaus Schulze’s Innovative Communication (IC) labels, with equal tips of the hat to the DIY minimal synth scene of the late ’70s, early ’80s. You get three extraordinary, slow building pieces, often trancelike and hypnotic and always utterly captivating. Edition of 500 copies.
