Volume. 7 of Asthmatic Kitty's Library Catalog Music Series presents the quirks and quarks of Richard Swift's Instruments Of Science & Technology alias. He's previously released a bunch of material on Secretly Canadian records but changes stylistic tack on 'Music For Paradise Armor', eschewing his usual vocals in favour of gorgeously frayed and exquisite analog electronics driven by clickety beats and bleep rhythms. To achieve his charming sound he uses old tape machines and an old Mac in some attempt to reflect our modern tech-centric lifestyle. It's very sweet stuff, like a lo-fi Matmos or glitchier Isan but with a succulent melodic life of it's own.1 ((( magic ))) 1:04 2 ClkClk 3:12 3 Mt.
