about

Inspired by films he grew up watching and a passion for vintage recording equipment, Eyot Tapes has crafted ten pieces of music recording only to cassettes, using cassette loops, spring reverbs, tape delays and a modular synthesiser. Weaving in and out of different moods, with ‘Edgar Rice Burroughs’ stories never far from his mind, he takes you on a trip through an off world, tropical fantasy.

REVIEWS:
"Properly damaged ferric gear from Muscut, that zooms from ramshackle exotica into deep, psychedelic abstraction that touches Michel Redolfi's pioneering 70s/80s underwater music.

Only mere moments after Nikolaienko's ace exotica-themed "Nostalgia Por Mesozóica", Eyot Tapes approaches a similar theme on "Paradise Lost". Nikolaienko's album was created as an imaginary theme to a museum exhibition, while Alexander Green sees his compositions as a tropical fantasy, influenced by Tarzan writer and eugenicist Edgar Rice Burroughs. Unsurprisingly, some of the tracks then are a little tongue in cheek (we hope!), with 'Open the Book' and 'Jungle Tapes' sounding particularly close to mid-20th century exotica, but dubbed into wildly fluttered, pitch-fucked psychedelia.

The album really hits its stride in the second half, as the exotica elements are drowned in cavernous reverb or obscured by ramshackle electronics. 'Grog' is particularly inebriated, a staggering rhythm with rubbery synths that sounds like navigating home in clown shoes after a long night out, and 'Path of Snakes' sounds like a Tom Baker-era Doctor Who soundtrack. Flick to 'Lagoon' for a real treat though, a sub-aquatic microtonal feast that's a disorienting and brilliant as Michel Redolfi's "Underwater Music" and as druggy as Phoenecia's "Brownout". You know what to do." - Boomkat
