Imagine the heat haze of a thousand deserts pressing upon you, the shared miasmic fever dream of ancient elders banging on clay pots, the expansive vistas and dangerous landscapes of long extinct topographies. These are the aural suggestions made real by O Yuki Conjugate, a British collective headed by multi-instrumentalist Andrew Hulme, who seem to know much about our ancestral past. PEYOTE remains one of the undisputed classics of fourth-world maximalism, a stunning hybrid of Jon Hassell, Beaver and Krause, and Steve Roach's similar forays.
"Snake Charm" slithers on a mass of struck objects, ghostly electronic shards, and haunted strings; "Long Pig" sounds as if it's carved from those things that go bump in the night, dancing the dance of ancestral electrons; "Still Breath" resonates with found sounds, awry percussion, and needlesharp synthesized flotsam. PEYOTE is an elegiac listening experience.
