Two Lone Swordsmen

After dissolving his Sabres of Heaven project and label, U.K. dance don Andrew Weatherall create the tripartite Emissions label group and released his latest, probably many prodigious musical enterprise, Two Lone Swordsmen. A cooperation with Emissions engineer Keith Tenniswood, 2LS was shaped in early 1996. The group talks the same vocabulary of warped, downtempo grooves just as much prior Sabres function (especially “Smokebelch” and “Wilmott”), but opts rather to get a syntax of minimal consumer electronics and taut, brittle electro-funk for framework and assistance. The group’s initial full-length discharge, 1996’s The Fifth Objective, was an impressive double-CD/triple-LP, both preceded and accompanied by extra EPs of brand-new material (“Tenth Objective” and “Third Objective”). Several months afterwards, the group released two extra LP-length produces (both remix albums beneath the name Swimming Not really Skimming, even though Compact disc and LP variations sported different songs), and by the finish of 1996 experienced racked up a minimum of a half-dozen remixes (including Slab, Change Ego, Trainer Pimps, and David Holmes). The weighty release schedule continuing through all of those other decade, with a variety of LPs (1998’s Stay Down, 2000’s Tiny Reminders) and mini-LPs documented via a fresh cope with Warp. They came back in 2001 using the Further Reminders EP and shipped a remix collection, Peppered with Spastic Magic, and From your Double Eliminated Chapel, an recording influenced by post-punk and electro, in 2004. The fairly rock-oriented Wrong Conferences adopted in 2007.
