Label: Ochre
Format: CD
Live sets by ambient groups, Avrocar and Yellow 6, performed to celebrate their label, Ochre's seventh anniversary



Review

As it held the event outside London at the Gloucester Guildhall, esoterics were given a little extra meaning by the Ochre label when it recently celebrated its seventh anniversary. These live-recordings by Avrocar and Yellow 6 sum up the highlights of that evening. Avrocar performed very much like the band Suicide once were. On stage the sound of Avrocar gains from the resonance of building things up, cumulating together volumes of beatboxes, vocals and instruments. Their short set for the better part has been included to build up for the jazzy Easthetic of Yellow 6 in which ambient was made exciting. A Morricone twang - a twang even when played on piano - is the red thread in Yellow 6's performance. A fragile use of breaks makes it as unique as instrumental sound can be. Yellow 6's cinematic approach was illustrated by video screens during this, their solo debut, at Gloucester Guildhall. And a masterly concert it was. There is no room for repetition, each moment in sound counted.
