Deeply melodic acid techno with classic 303/808/909 sounds merged with with both playful and melancholic atmospheres and a deep soulfulness. Tape Tracks is also a moody work, as sugar-rush acid squelches counterpoint deep atmospheres and deftly constructed rhythms. This recording evokes Detroit techno, and what you missed about early Autechre and Richie Hawtin, the melody and soul to emerge from acid. Every now and then a special electronic album surfaces and this is one of them. Not since Donacha Costello’s Color Series has anything so beautiful surfaced. Spak Cubes is the alias of Audrius Vaitiekunas, born in Klaipėda, Lithuania and residing in London, England. In spring 2010, he presented I, Absentee with Spak Cubes, a one-off acid/electronica project recorded live to tape. Regardless of which name he’s using, Vaitiekunas is definitely a producer on the rise. File under: Electronic, techno, IDM.

The Muslimgauze Preservation Society proudly presents TMPS03 and TMPS04, hand-printed artwork that originated from Bryn Jones, onto genuine papyrus, made in Egypt. The artwork sources are the cover art for Nile Quartra (Jara, 1994) and an unreleased image in Jones’ customary collage style. Not commonly known is that Jones was professionally trained as a graphics designer in both London and Manchester, England before going on stints as an intern. These skills were then directly applied to Muslimgauze album releases and handbills until signed to a label in 1990,
with the exception of Nile Quartra among a couple others—which Jones was happy to produce. The MPS approached a generations old print shop in Cairo, Egypt to dust off their antique press machines and print off a very limited run (edition of 100 each) of Egyptian-blue prints onto high quality papyrus designed to out-last prospective owners by a millennia or so. What better way to preserve the legacy of Bryn Jones than onto one of history’s more enduring mediums?

Note, TMPS 04 has Islamic phrasings in Arabic hence, The Muslimgauze Preservation Society requests buyers treat it with respect.
