After countless appearances on compilations and several split 12"s,
Solenoid (David Chandler) finally steps forward with a long-overdue full length CD [omco007] and companion LP [omco006] for Outward Music Company. On 'reversesender', Solenoid deftly humanizes swung clank from his machines to turn loose scores of strange ocean floor crawlers, where at first listen you may think you're moving smart, but really you're just getting down. Broken prog acid lines and sandbox melodies temper his elaborate epics of janky analog electro. With two other full-lengths out this quarter (emanate& hiao hiao hiao) one would assume overkill from a lesser producer but in David's case it will serve only as an introduction to his true capabilities.
