O Yuki Conjugate ‎– Scene In Mirage

Dark Ambient is an oft expressed term these days, but if any project can be associated with its ascent (or descent), its O Yuki Conjugate, whose 1984 debut, Scene in Mirage, returns to the scene via Emotional Rescue in 2017.

Recorded in a four-track basement studio in Leeds, Scene in Mirage is an absorbing reverie of glassy post-industrial, primordial cold wave, stripped down to its most plaintive. Analogue drum machines, synths, bass, flute, voice and tape loops made stolen public library tapes meet cutting edge DIY technology: a home made digital delay with a 1.6 second sampling feature, used to brooding, endless soundscaping effect.
