"Heart & Soul' written in red felt pen on both sides of white label. "DJ Promo copy" in red felt pen on top right of plain white sleeve. These guys used to work at "Esoteric" record store in Montreal. This is the first Heart + Soul track ever recorded, and it sure did hit the spot! Equally faithful to its UR techno inspiration and Montreal indie-weirdo reality. This track was later released on Panospria as “Planet Nebula” on the Cosmic Signals ep. The B side is a 20-minute synthesizer workout by Collis Browne, recorded in 2 sessions to 8-track analog tape using the “blind-multi” method. In this method we start with a first cut [in this case the original H&S track], and repeatedly overdub different parts without hearing them together. The result is like a controlled palimpsest, but since all tracks are related equally to the original, the result still has a musical uniformity. This is opposed to the “blind-chinese” method, where each track is recorded while listening only to the previous version, so that the result has a deconstruction where, like in the Chinese Whispers game where it gets its name [aka broken telephone], the later tracks have less and less direct relation to the original. Oh yeah, and it sounds great too.
