专辑简介
Having pumped there way through New Zealand's electronic music scene since their inaugural Gathering New Year's eve festival in 1997, Pitch Black [nz] (with the [nz] added to avoid being mistaken with the USA rap group of the same name) have spent the years since, rousing dance floor punters, generating rave reviews, winning awards and gaining legions of fans worldwide - including warm UK embraces garnered with their dynamic live performances at three Big Chill festivals. Their music has also been used in several films, including the Oscar nominated Whale Rider.
The Pitch Black [nz] sound created by Paddy Free and Michael Hodgson, ranges from organic ambient and layered soundscapes to skanting keyboards, cutting acid riffs and thumping rhythmic grooves, with dub being the glue that holds their musical journeys together. One critic describes them as "Richie Hawtin meets King Tubby or Rhythm and Sound in Technicolor."
Ape to Angel, was originally released in NZ to critical acclaim. Now, as their debut USA release, the A2A album has been repackaged with an added bonus track and eye-popping bonus video of the focus track 'Lost in Translation,' and found an appreciative home on the seminal ambient dub label - Waveform Records.
Over the years Pitch Black [nz] has found favour among club and radio DJs including John Peel (Radio One/BBC), Nick Luscombe (Xfm), Greg Roberts (Dreadzone), Pete Lawrence (Big Chill), Forest (XM satellite/Musical Starstreams/radioioAMBIENT.com). This superb USA debut promises to generate an equal level of continued interest.
