Those of you meditative types seeking total post-Industrial shutdown should rush out and grab XAX by VipCancro, an excellent and highly individual quartet from Tuscany, whose arsenal of old electronics – tone generators, various analogue oddities, broken Færiäl 5 – unite with twin Kan Mikami duets with No Face vocals (‘ah?’) to provide ye with a Stockhausenian weltanshauung worthy of permanent rotation. Available on Lisca Records (www.liscarecords.com), the 12” vinyl versh which – for all you utter-nutter Old Timers looking for extra reasons to shed your hard-earned – arrives replete with smart die-cut sleeve that nails artistically the hybrid between FAUST IV’s packaging and that of Family’s ANYWAY. Phew. Better geddit then… julian Cope - Head Heritage
