Welcome to December >> 06


1 >> All The Darkness Has Gone To Details [Ultre] >> out now

The Ultre debut release presents structured musical pieces utilising piano, 
guitar, home made instruments and electronics. Elegant, delicate, complex, 
organic, bold, charming, melancholy, nervous, or violent.. We are getting a 
constant stream of great (and grateful) feedback on this one.... Here is 
what the reviewers think >>

The Wire > 274 says....

""The animation work of Finn McNicholas - aka Ultre - has been used on 
Warp's Works & 20th Century Composers tour, and Warp's influence is 
certainly in evidence in the rhythmic chassis of All the Darkness, with its 
intemperate bursts of squalid rhythm counterpointed by more placid 
sequences. However, what lends the album its individuality is his use of 
instruments made from metal and wire, as well as slightly bashed-about 
acoustic instruments such as the untuned piano that weaves unsteadily 
through "Nobodies Favourite". There's a nice contrast between the 
conventionally sleek, futuristic aura of the electronic components of these 
pieces and a bustling, clankier DIY element suggestive of creaky doors and 
busy toolsheds.""
