A.r. Kane

A.r. Kive

A.R. Kive collates the three most astonishing works from that most miraculous of duos - A.R. Kane - comprising the Up Home EP from 1988 that signified the bands dawning realisation of their own powers and possibilities, their legendary debut LP sixty nine (1988) and its kaleidoscopic, prophetic double-LP follow up i (1989). In founder-member Rudy Tambalas new remastering, the music on these pivotal transmissions from the birth of dream pop, have been reinvigorated and re-infused with a new power, a new depth and intimacy, a new height and immensity. Vivid, timeless and yet always timely whenever theyre recalled, these records still force any listener to realise that despite the habits of retrospective myth-making and the safe neutering effects of genre, thirty years have in no way dimmed how resistant and dissident to critical habits of categorisation A.R. Kane always were. Never quite avant-pop or shoegaze or post-rock or any of those sobriquets designed to file and categorise, A.R. Kive is a reminder that those genres had to be coined, had to be invented precisely to contain the astonishing sound of A.R. Kane, because previous formulations couldnt come close to their sui generis sound and suggestiveness. This is music that pointed towards futures which a whole generation of artists and sonic explorers would map out. Now beautifully repackaged, remastered and fleshed out with extensive sleeve notes and accompanying materials, A.R. Kive reveals that 35 years on its still a struggle to defuse the revolutionary and inspirational possibility of A.R. Kanes music.
