Finally, after a painful gestation period... Suite: Live in Liverpool follows Philip Jeck's acclaimed collaboration with Gavin Bryars and Alter Ego on a new version of The Sinking of the Titanic. It is the companion release to his latest solo album, Sand, which was voted number two Album of the Year 2008 in The Wire; a set of five new compositions that highlight Jeck's mastery of vinyl manipulation, personal and collective memories.
Suite is at once elegiac, celebrational, mournful and uplifting. Those who have followed Jeck's development since his first release, "Loopholes" (Touch TO:26) will observe his return to the industrial textures that coloured that collection, though here they are fused with his symphonic grace and continued development as a composer and live performer.
