They began recording in 1991 and in a short space of time released a huge amount of music, collectively and individually and in a broad range of styles, including records under names such as Link, E621, Reload, The Chameleon and Jedi Knights. It’s the work they made together as Global Communication, however, that has proved to be the most enduring. This is in no small part down to the formidable reputation of their sole studio album, ‘76:14’, widely considered to be an ambient techno classic, hailed by The Guardian as “an unfathomably beautiful out-of-time masterpiece” and no.11 in Mixmag’s Best Dance Albums Of All Time.\u003cbr\u003e This new anthology is the most definitive overview of their music to date, issued on the group’s own Evolution label and remastered from the original DAT tapes, with care taken to retain the full dynamics of the original recordings. Every detail has been painstakingly overseen by Tom and Mark, accompanied by in-depth sleevenotes by Ben Cardew and beautifully updated sleeve designs by Mark Gowing.\u003cbr\u003e As well as ‘76:14’ presented in stunning new sound quality, it also contains two other albums. ‘Pentamerous Metamorphosis’ was their revolutionary full album overhaul of the ‘Blood Music’ album by labelmates Chapterhouse. Whilst retaining some elements of the shoegaze guitar music of the original recording to use as building blocks, Global Communication essentially crafted their own album out\u003cbr\u003eof the results and the result is a lesser known but equally fine-crafted companion to the much-loved ‘76:14’. \u003cbr\u003e The third record in this set is a special compilation Mark and Tom have assembled of classic non-album 12” tracks and radical remixes of other artists, something also flipped on its head by a brand new cover version by Lone (R\u0026amp;S Records) of the anthemic ‘5:23’. ‘Curated Singes \u0026amp; Remixes’ highlights that, even within the framework of Global Communication, Tom and Mark were music enthusiasts first\u003cbr\u003eand foremost and their restless experimentation did not rest on one particular musical genre. As well as the tracks from debut EP ‘Keongaku’, which signposted what was to come with ‘76:14’, there’s also the house classics ‘The Way’ and ‘The Deep’ and their stunning reconstructions of tracks by The Grid and Sensorama (Roman Flügel and Jörn Elling Wuttke). Also included on the CD is a previously\u003cbr\u003eunheard cassette demo of ‘7:39’, which will be a must-hear for fans of the group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003eCD1 ‘Chapterhouse Retranslated\u003cbr\u003eby Global Communication - Blood\u003cbr\u003eMusic: Pentamerous\u003cbr\u003eMetamorphosis’\u003cbr\u003eAlpha Phase\u003cbr\u003eBeta Phase\u003cbr\u003eGamma Phase\u003cbr\u003eDelta Phase\u003cbr\u003eEpsilon Phase\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCD2 ‘76:14’\u003cbr\u003e4:02\u003cbr\u003e14:31 Ob-selon Mi-nos Repainted\u003cbr\u003eBy Global Communication\u003cbr\u003e9:25\u003cbr\u003e9:39\u003cbr\u003e7:39\u003cbr\u003e0:54\u003cbr\u003e8:07\u003cbr\u003e5:23\u003cbr\u003e4:14\u003cbr\u003e12:18\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCD3 ‘Curated Singles \u0026amp; Remixes’\u003cbr\u003eGlobal Communication -\u003cbr\u003eIncidental Harmony\u003cbr\u003eGlobal Communication - Sublime\u003cbr\u003eCreation (Original Mix)\u003cbr\u003eSensorama - Aspirin (Global\u003cbr\u003eCommunication Remix)\u003cbr\u003eThe Grid Rollercoaster (The\u003cbr\u003eGlobal Communication Yellow\u003cbr\u003eSubmarine Re-Take)\u003cbr\u003eLone - 5:23\u003cbr\u003eGlobal Communication - The Deep\u003cbr\u003eGlobal Communication - The Way\u003cbr\u003e(Secret Ingredients Mix)\u003cbr\u003eGlobal Communication - 7:39\u003cbr\u003e(Original Cassette Demo)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Evolution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35705094439068,"sku":"EVOR11CD","price":36.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/GlobalCommunication-Transmissions.jpg?v=1598441685","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/global-communication-transmissions","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
