MARK LANE "INNER MOST FOLDS"
Special Limited Edition (500 numbered copies)
4-song CD-EP mini-jacket (ECD-0106)
Editions Mark Lane/USA 2006

  Drawing upon diverse sources that range from erudite to industrial musics, two unusual bookend instrumentals counter balance two fantastic vocal tracks. Beginning with the orchestral song "Inner Most Folds" this CD-EP confirms a minimal electronic music sensibility that has reached across two and half decades. Easily regarded as “introductory” in nature because of “philharmonic” tendencies, the title track fulfills its mission to lie down an under painting (backdrop) for the three remaining compositions.
  First up is “The Wealth of Experience,” a "Bowie-esque" synthpop groove that dares one to become intimate with its world music references and serene vision. Laced with a fat analogue bass synthesizer the track has a sensual mesmerizing momentum that acts as a vehicle for the vintage crooning, exquisite envelope treatments and Joy Division-like strings.
  In contrast "Halcyon Sentimental' harkens back to the androgynous robotic-like beginnings of the genre. Its infectious simple “simple” beat urges a climbing and descending rhythm sequencer that propels the song across a landscape of synthetic wonders and vocals that often seem like they are from the days when Marlene Dietrich was in her prime.
  The whole effort comes to a conclusion with the minimal-techno finale “Elephant.” More than just a sequencer driven black pop workout, the composition builds to a crescendo that ultimately ends in one of Lane’s anthemic Moog solos. While certainly homage to “progressive rock,” the track stays deeply rooted in a minimalist foundation.
  Beautifully packaged in a full color card stock mini-jacket, “Inner Most Folds” is out now. To view the discography page please click here. SPECIALLY PRICED $4.49
