British post-industrial / ambient group O Yuki Conjugate return with a highly requested re-release of their seminal album ‘Equator’. Originally released in 1995, it came four years after their lauded “Peyote”release on PROJEKT.
Now revisited, this expanded edition features an additional 30 minutes of material, together with new glorious artwork from artist and actor Frederick Schimmelschmidt. Making use of the emergent technology of the early 90’s, “Equator” was one of the first albums to be mixed with digital equipment, weaving together a blend of studio, live and location recordings to create their own deeply immersive, enveloping soundscapes. Brooding atmospheres unfold underneath a wide range of ethnic percussion and deep, meditative basslines- existing in a unique cross-section of Hassell inspired 4th world mystery, Industrial landscapes, and the rich middle-eastern projections pioneered by Muslimgauze.
It's a deeply hypnotic work that joins the dots between the late 80's industrial scene and the smoked-out chill-out rooms of the '90s. Produced by Paul Schütze and OYC.
Released Late August 2021 by Other Voices.
