[from Boomkat] Meam have long been considered by those who have seen them in action as one of Skam’s most exciting prospects in quite a few years. A full audio-visual collective, Meam have been responsible for some of Skam’s most breathtaking label artwork, for the notorious Skam website and for the full visual accompaniment to Bola’s live shows in every corner of the world from Manchester to Japan and beyond. Having first displayed their sonic brilliance at Warp’s 10th anniversary Lighthouse show (dominating the Skam room), it was assumed by most that this mysterious collective must have had something to do with the label’s most famous inhabitants, the quality of the music was simply so high. Since then the collective have honed and sharpened their skills, taking the visual realm right to the front cover of the prestigious Creative Review magazine, working on film and the most intricate assembly of moving photomontage, through to the enhancement of their crunchy, cinematic soundsystem. |

Well, the rest of the Boomkat description is accurate: This debut release offers generously : 8 tracks on vinyl or cd, with a full 20 minute DVD included in both formats, designed to facilitate a visual expression of a deeply dark and cinematic exploration of sound. The music on board kicks off with a 30 second flash of industrial field recordings, like a distant train weaving through a Bladerunner-esque skyline, before a razor sharp rotation of squashed beats and tweaks delivers a blue edit of hip hop styles and neon SFX that sees the next 30 minutes through with electroid interludes and transitionary travels through more industrial open spaces. The key here is dark, deeply cinematic electronic crunchiness of a kind that Skam have always excelled at and have delivered here in classic form. Think of a meeting point between Gescom, Smyglyssna and Vangelis for an idea. As for the DVD, the one thought that will come straight to your mind as you sink into it will be just how long each of those intricately organic moments of moving moving imagery would have taken to construct. Times that by 20 minutes and you have yourself something quite unbelievable. Awesome. |

cheers danbrusca, interesting stuff there, the DVD has loads of Bola type images, thats who i thought it was at first. the tunes are very autechreish, bolaish, dunno. some monsters on there though. the dvd is a bit full on, very trippy. and the ae number on the runout seems interesting too, maybe its a collaboration of a few of the skam roster, theres even a BoCish vid there too, the tunes very BoCish too. ish ish ish |
