"Basil Kirchin works with electirc harpsichord, percussion and a few reeds on Abstractions For The Industral North. With such a narrow scope, the music remains spare throughout. This is basically variations on one or two themes.



Which does not make it repetative or boring. The melodies are so light and transparent, this album maintains a pastoral feel throughout. Kirchen works enough permutations, both in the writting and arranging, for Abstractions...to hold your attention.



Kirchin worked a lot on 1960s soundtracks. I don't think this album is for a particular movie, but it defiantely has the nuance of 60s film music. The electric harpsichord in particular gives the album that post Sgt. Pepper barouqe feel everyone was aiming for.



Kirchin should have worked with the Zombies or Left Banke. That would have matched perfectly.



But, trust me. This will more than do."
