Bad Sector
Kosmodrom (2cd)
Originally released in 2005 as a limited CD and CD/MCD edition which has long since sold out. Now available again - remastered and expanded! The 2CD box includes the original album and the MCD with five extra tracks, which turns the second disc into an additional full length release. Includes a 12-page booklet. In Bad Sector's 20 years of existence Massimo Magrini has developed a sound aesthetic of harmonious sonic drones that marked its beginning with the first album 'Ampos' in 1995. Many releases and a decade later the ground breaking work 'Kosmmodrom' was published and sold out within a few months. Dedicated to Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, the Russian pioneer of astronautic theory, the key element in Bad Sector's music (bringing together science and sound) was brought into the foreground with this release. Original Soviet sound devices like the Aelita synthesizer and the electro-optical ANS (which Coil also worked with) were mixed with heavily processed sources from space missions, adding an unearthly human dialogue to the electronics. The sounds on 'Kosmodrom' are deep and droning, pulsating and constantly flowing with processed rhythmic sequences, supported by a bed of radio signal recordings. A timeless masterpiece of deep ambient electronica!
