Catalog Number: NOT076 Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 5057998709496 Icarus, comprising Ollie Bown and Sam Britton, have been described as a pair of young tearaways let loose in the sound labs, like delinquent chemistry students using test tubes, liquids and bunsen burners in the hope of creating explosions.There is a wonderful air of creative mischief about the duo.They channel the spirit of electronica denizens like Paradox, European outliers like the late Pita (Peter Rehberg), Aphex Twin in all his facetious, windowlicking glory and The Orb, like them at once beautifully grandiose and wittily self- deprecating. The title of their ninth and latest album, An Ever-Growing Meridional Entertainment Transgression At The Edge Of The Multiverse, recorded between London and Sydney, is an unabashed homage to The Orb's epic A Huge Evergrowing Pulsating Brain That Rules From The Centre Of The Ultraworld, from their debut album. Icarus don't merely imitate The Orb but use them as a jumping off point for quantum leaps and wormholes of their own, from infinity into the beyond.
