about

The debut album by drummer Tim Giles, sees him explore the submerged realms of multiple genres, shifting fluidly from one to the next: dub, electronica, electro-funk, jazz, free-electronic music. Giles’ inimitable time-feel and impeccable rhythmic language is at the centre of these pieces, not least on “Buckley’s Dub” (his joyful tribute to saxophonist Steve Buckley, a player after his own, lyrical and rhythmic heart), surrounded by the brilliant, animated electronics, the bubbling laboratory of analogue and digital. But the joy of Bovine Mindstate is hearing this master musician take time to imaginatively explore the boundless, shapeshifting possibilities of electronica, from squiggly pop motifs and infectious funk grooves to the remote horizons of the electroacoustic.

Bovine Mindstate abounds with allusions, reminders – a fragment of D.A.F. in the terse synths of “The Cow Creamer”, of the experimental works of electric era Miles Davis, of Lee “Scratch” Perry and his adventures in his Black Ark studio, of the industrial dub of Cabaret Voltaire, of Daphne Oram and her audacious, lonely efforts to imagine the far future through her prototype electronic works. There’s an explicit tribute to Laurie Spiegel too, whose The Expanding Universe is an explicit influence on this album, as referenced on “After Spiegel”, in terms of its epic construction. However, these are just passing points of familiarity in a exceptional and meticulous assemblage that is itself unique.
