Other Infinities [Cassette]

Claude Speeed 'Other Infinities' is a diverse companion release to the well-received 'Infinity Ultra' LP from earlier this year. Speeed says "I see this mainly as an alternative take on how the album could've turned out, one of the many paths it might've gone down. But it also serves as a neat ending, closing off that period by releasing the other material that's been kicking about my mind and harddrives for the last 5 years." The material on 'Other Infinities' reaches into the darker corners of the world portrayed in 'Infinity Ultra,' the uncanny valleys of the near future. Obliterated rave sits alongside twisted computer-generated prog rock; cathartic noise is pitted against submersed piano and dreamy, night-time synthscapes. New age meditation and lonely autumnal sadness compete with the intense drumming of a neo-tokyo cult.
