FORMICATION - 'Icons For A New Religion' CD (Lumberton Trading Company)
"Icons For A New Religion" is the first CD proper from this often spaceward-bound UK electronica duo of Alec Bowman and Kingsley Ravenscroft. Mulched digital flotsam, chattering rhythms, buried voices, squelched beats, vapour trails and suchlike combine to create a vast and sprawling, kaleidoscopic filmic spew that's unstoppable in its reaching out to those parts of your imagination simply waiting to be taken to new places. At times, the music recalls early Tangerine Dream, or a darker Autechre, via the ritualistic and chemical saturation of Coil.

FORMICATION - 'The Eyes Of Erodern Riviema' CD (Small Doses)
Formication is Alec Bowman and Kingsley Ravenscroft, the miraculous electric musical ensemble from Nottingham. They create unique rhythmic, chaotic yet structured works, twisting a variety of sounds into creeped-out electronica, frozen ambience and sporadic wayward beats. Described by The Wire magazine as ‘sonic occultists’, they can be found “wandering a dream landscape somewhere between the ritual ambience of Coil and the electronic space drift of Tangerine Dream”. "The Eyes of Erodern Riviema" is their most realised work to date and a masterpiece start to finish. Ltd x 407 copies.
