Abstractions of the Industrial North

Released

Basil Kirchin was a drummer who transitioned from big band rhythm cog to soundtrack wizard in the 1960s and gave an odd, vividly unpredictable life to films (some of which only existed in his head). This reissue of a 1966 album on revered library label De Wolfe finds a strange pastoral grace and moments of brisk, swinging intensity in its invocations of manufacturing and creation — and, in the orchestral jazz-pop swagger of the bonus material, a glimpse of a mid-Sixties Jimmy Page in sessionman mode.
