Rocket Girl Music RGIRL186 A.r. Kane - I: Remastered Compact Disc - 2x 12in Vinyl Lp - Double Disc - 26 Tracks - Electronic, Rock Genre

The final part of this 'A.R. Kane reissue collection is 1989's astonishing double-LP 'i' which followed up on 'sixty nine's promise and saw the duo fully unleash their experimental pop sensibilities over 26 tracks, plunging the A.R. Kane sound into a dazzlingly kaleidoscopic vision of pop experiment and play. Suffused with new digital technologies and combining searingly sweet and danceable pop with perhaps the duo's strangest and boundary-pushing compositions, the album did exactly what a great double-set should do - indulge the artists sprawling pursuit of their own imaginations but always with a concision and an ear for those moments where pop both transcends and toys with the listeners expectations. Jason Ankeny has noted that "In retrospect, 'i' now seems like a crystal ball prophesying virtually every major musical development of the 1990s; from the shimmering techno of 'A Love from Outer Space' to the liquid dub of 'What's All This Then?', from the alien drone-pop of 'Conundrum' to the sinister shoegazer miasma of 'Supervixens' -- it's all here, an underground road map for countless bands to follow." Perhaps the most overwhelmingly all-encompassing transmission from A.R. Kane, 'i' bookended a three year period in which the duo had made some of the most prophetic and revelatory music of the entire decade. After 'i' the duo's output became more sporadic with Tambala and Ayuli moving in different directions both geographically and musically, with only 1994's 'New Clear Child' a crystalline re-fraction of future and past echoes of jazz, folk and soul, before the duo went their separate ways. Since then, A.R. Kane's music has endured, not thanks to the usual sepia'd false memories that seem to maintain interest in so much of the musical past, but because those who hear A.R. Kane music and are changed irrevocably, have to share that universe which A.R. Kane opened up, with anyone else who will listen. Far more than other lauded documents of the late 80s it still sounds astonishingly fresh, astonishingly livid and vivid and necessary and NOW.
