bitchin bajas - Tones / Zones
Bitchin' Bajas is the solo project from Cooper Crane of Chicago krautrock revivalists, Cave. On Tones / Zones, Crane wields a selection of old synthesizers and an organ, crafting a far-out playlist of meditative analogue melodies and looping arpeggios that instantly draw comparisons to modern day pace-setters like Emeralds as well as the kosmische pioneers of the past. Important Records themselves point out the fortuitous timing of this album's release, given that it coincides with the reissuing of the J. D. Emmanuel Wizards album. There's much common ground between this and that recently rediscovered 1981 classic - not only in terms of the shared tone and quasi-new age atmospherics but even the instruments and equipment involved. Apparently Crane's Tascam reel-to-reel tape machine is the same model as that used by Emmanuel all those years ago, and sure enough, Crane's toils feel like they've been plucked straight out of another era.
