Cylob is an electronic music producer from the UK. Active since 1993, he has released 17 singles and 16 albums since then, on the labels Rephlex, Breakin' Records, Power Vacuum and his own Cylob Industries imprint. Although Cylob's music is predominantly instrumental, ranging from ambient styles to aggressive dance-floor sonics via pop pastiche and electronic funk, his most well known tracks have been the underground hits "Rewind" and "Cut The Midrange, Drop The Bass", which pioneered computer-generated rapping and singing on top of signature Cylob beats. His remix credits include reworkings for Mogwai, Aphex Twin, Soulwax (2 many DJs), Cristian Vogel and Mike Flowers Pops.
"I Will Cross Any Bridge" is a new 14 track studio album marking Cylob's 30th year since his debut release. Developed from works in progress posted on SoundCloud over the last 18 months, the tracks encompass vocoder songs, abstract sonic exploration, acid in unusual time signatures and contemplative ambience in addition to some more straightforward analog jams.
lyrics
Confused and in control
Casting a pale blue glow
I’m not a fatalist
But there may be a hitch
In every cell between
Always watching in
The border is no more
Mutation is a bore
So many faces yawn
In the isolated dawn
They needed every node
That’s what the testing showed
All the same a pause
For taking open laws
The manual repair
Incorporating flare
Emotionally stirring avant-techno from Surgeons Girl, offering a field of percolating analog synths to get lost in. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 18, 2022
It will take me a year to repeat enough tracks to make any attempt to select a favorite, and that's not a bad thing. Wonderful diversity of music. adventure_tense
