On Tour with Sophia

Well after some time now Robin Proper-Sheppard (God Machine) and I are collaborating once again.

I'll be joining his band Sophia on tour throughout Europe this month.

It was back in 1998 when Robin came into the Brooklyn, NY rehearsal space of my band Blanco.

Mercury Rev "Butterfly's Wing" (Carlos Anthony Molina 4 On The Flux Mix)

Accompanying Mercury Rev's recent 'Snowflake Midnight' LP, is this remix package

with revised versions of album tracks from Fujiya & Miyagi, James Holden, Isan &

Carlos Anthony Molina. F & M's version of 'Senses on Fire' is a confident Neu-lite

krautrock revision in their revered style, while Holden opts to take it in a dreamy

neu-Trance direction with lovely results. Isan shape 'Butterfly's Wing' on the flip into an

ornately detailed thing of beauty, leaving room for Carlos Anthony Molina's

"4 On The Flux" remix to clear a path with a required dancefloor version beefed

up with zipping electro synths and top-of-the-range production.

12" Vinyl versions of these re-mixes are available in select UK record shops now.

Thursday "In Silence" (15ips Remix)

"Appeared And Was Gone," providing the perfect transition into the massive

dynamics of Envy. Pressed on audiophile-quality 180 gram vinyl & featuring original

artwork by acclaimed poster artist, Dan Grzeca, this deluxe set includes a free

copy of the CD format beautifully incorporated into the exquisite package design.
