The Garden of Earthly Delights

by Network 23

supported by

minilog Another pearl of this constantly renewed inventiveness duo. Return to the rhythms after the long (and superb) ambient tracks of the last few months, and a winning return : surprising, zigzagging, a very inspired journey full of sound meteors !

Christopher Ellis Fine new album from network 23 may the journey continue. Favorite track: Orpheus.

about

August 2020 and the pandemic lockdown restrictions are starting to be eased in the UK. We are still unable to meet together as we used to - side-by-side in the same room. The wonderful weather means we can meet outside and maintain social distance to experiment with a different way of working.

So we met up in a friend's garden on a hot sunny day in August with birds tweeting around us and sometimes a gentle breeze. It led to these new tracks being created which have a slightly different feel about them, influenced by techno and trip-hop and our usual brand of Berlin-style experimentation.

We hope you enjoy it.

The album title is of course taken from the famous Hieronymus Bosch painting

Artwork by Bosch, warped by Meader.

The selection on this album shows the potential of the band, so many great outtakes, which reminds me partely very much to TD /Edgar Froese. Only the voices and effects, which has been placed as a transition between the tracks, disturbs enormously. Klaus Sauer
