Christ

Christ may be the messiah-inspired alter ego of Chris H (b. Scotland), a sometime collaborator of Warp Information duo Planks Of Canada, who’s notably acknowledged with having contributed compared to that clothing’s near-legendary 1st album Twoism, an archive pressed within an preliminary run of simply 100 copies ahead of its 2002 reissue by Warp. Beyond this, small actual biographical info is known in regards to the Scottish musician and, like his previous collaborators, simple truth is obscured by rumour and secrecy. Released via the absorbing Scottish label Benbecula, Christ’s Pylonesque mini-album transported overt echoes of his previous collaborators: evocative kaleidoscopic melodies are juxtaposed with neo-hip-hop beats and traces of voices are distorted beyond understanding, while on the EP’s shutting monitor ‘Absolom (For Lucy)’, kids’s squeals are deployed in an identical style to people utilized on Planks Of Canada’s Warp debut Music GETS THE Right To Kids. Alongside Planks Of Canada’s 2002 discharge Geogaddi, the EP recommended unusual goings on in Scottish digital music producing. Christ notably added to the anonymously released Alba Absurdia compilation of Scottish electronica alongside Frog Pocket and Reverbaphon.
