The three members of A Mountain Of One come from
the world of underground techno, being studio
hounds and beat-masters, and they\'re familiar
with the demands of clubs and dancers. But the
music they make as A Mountain Of One would only
have value in discotheques with beds: it has
already been tagged by those canny folk at Vice
magazine as \"future Balearic classics\". AMO1
themselves recall the experimental dance outfits
of the early 90s such as Ultramarine and the Orb,
whose epic, exploratory ambient techno was
steeped in krautrock and the \"Canterbury Scene\"
of Soft Machine et al. Early-70s fetishists,
their songs, often 10 minutes long, are slow and
meanderingly melodic, and their ambition is to
make the 21st century Dark Side Of The Moon.
Their lead singer has the tremulous voice of a
latter-day Bryan Ferry and their music is epic
with pretensions towards the elegiac and
exquisite.
A Mountain Of One love the 70s, only instead of
punk and disco it\'s to the proggy and dreamy,
elegant yet enervated West Coast 70s of the Floyd
and Fleetwood Mac that they aspire: Ride, their
limited-edition debut single from last summer
which sold out in days, recalled the luscious MOR
motorik of Lindsey Buckingham\'s compositions for
the Mac. The recent EP2, which also sold out
immediately, furthered their adventures beyond
the ambient-techno ultraworld in fine style: lead
tracks Innocent Line and People Without Love
(featuring beat poet Jamie Kelsey) are typical of
AMO1\'s serene electronica, reminiscent of
Avalon-era Roxy Music, with its sense of a
pastoral idyll in the urban jungle. New single
Brown Piano is to be lifted as a single from
their forthcoming EP compilation, and comes with
a remix from Swedish GUM favourites Studio. It
was recorded at James Lavelle/Unkle\'s All
Surrender studio with Pablo Clements of
Psychonauts, with whom they achieved the song\'s
strange, disorientating effect, making it sound
as though it could have come from any period from
the last 35 years of sonic British invention. The
Studio remix accentuates the slow-but-steady chug
of AMO1\'s dubbishly spacious psych-kraut motorik
MOR.
A Mountain Of One\'s Collected Works is not a
greatest hits compilation but rather the debut
album release, made up of two EPs and one new
track, from a London-based collective consisting
of three core members. It is unlike any other
album you\'ll hear this year.
