Update: Sugarknife is now available on iTunes Music Store
It’s official - the first single by Logickal is hitting the streets on dPulse! It’s slowly creeping out to thee Internets by way of some of your favorite download services, with more to come in the next few days.
Big thanks go to the remixers - BlueDeceiver and Maurice Syntax provided their own personal interpretations of the title track, which is in some ways an homage to some of the sounds of my heroes - take 2 parts SP/Doubting Thomas/Download and mix with mid-period Coil and blend with some old-fashioned Logickal layering. Both remixes take the formula and discard it completely, which is exactly what I was hoping for. Speaking of remixes, we decided to feature Randy Garcia’s Polar Attractor remix from Krushjob on this single, so big thanks to him for the stellar track as well. While you’re hanging around, make sure to go and check out what BlueDeceiver has to say about his excavation process for his remix over at 2Second(Fuse).
I should also note here that Sugarknife features the sugary voice of Angelique Fisher, the knife-edged tones of John Sharp and the wonderful contact-mic’ed skulduggery of Mr. Natural on the sugar bowl and chef’s blade. Hints may also be heard of young Master Ryne lurking about in there somewhere as well. Thank you, my wonderful friends and collaborators.
Rounding out this single release are new improvisations called Students Fear The Three Cs (the stylistic partner to Krushjob’s Feels Atomic which is also included here) and the soothing Lullabye 43. I do hope you all enjoy - I have included a player from last.fm here for your listening pleasure, but please don’t forget about the download links below. It should be coming soon to even more online download services, and soon will be available via Amazon and other retailers.
I’ve decided to encode Sugarknife to a briliant 320kbps MP3 and offer it via Dreamhost’s new FilesForever service. This gives you all 7 tracks in the highest quality (hey, it’s good enough for Bleep) without DRM, plus a pdf insert for printing for $7. Not only is that a bargain, you’re truly showing your support for Logickal Musick, as Dreamhost only takes a very small sliver for themselves.
