Ghostape - Many Stars EP
With its motorik rhythm and electronic bass pulse throbbing away under the mad yelps and shamanic whispers of producer Gabs, this is an interesting, quirky and unique collection of tunes.
The track Many Stars really shines out. It is a simple, haunting song with longing chords given some electronic fizz by Gabs and his friend Plastic Du Rêve. Allez Allez turned up is an alt. disco slow burner that emerged from a collaboration with French producer Screen Tests, and is rightly the lead track here.
The Marco Tulio Thrash mix of Many Stars opens up with a trippy organ riff and a sparse machine rhythm, before slowly morphing into something that sounds like Adonis trapped in a lift with Metro Area, whilst Martin Hannett pushed the buttons. The STE mix of Many Stars is big and broken beat, glitchy and widescreen.
Pictures of Ghostape's one man live performance show Gabs clutching a mike, surrounded by boxes and wires. And the photos look how Ghostape sounds: otherworldly and electronic, but also organic and very real.
