Twisted Science (Jon Tye) - Freedom Of Noise (Leaf 2x12-inch) - Cold Fusion (Leaf 12-inch EP) - Blown (Leaf-Lo Recordings CD/LP) - The Sharpest Tool in the Box (Lo Recordings CD/LP) Plus cuts on Leaf's _Invisible Soundtracks volume one_ and Lo Recordings _Further Mutations: Volume 4_ >From the unoffficial Leaf site: The music [on Leaf] took another savage twist with the release of the first Twisted Science doublepack. This was produced by the ridiculously diverse & talented Jon Tye, and the subsequent "Cold Fusion" EP and "Blown" LP reveal a dense musical universe thick with distortion. Twisted Science - "Cold Fusion EP" (The Leaf Label UK, rel. Apr 1st) This is the sort of music that, if you put it on a walkman and strapped it to the head of a medieval peasant, they'd think that ol' Beelzebub himself had come for their ass. Jon Tye (of Lo Recordings, MLO, 2 Player, etc.) turns the noise up to 10 and fucks about with breakbeats and all kinds of stuff for 8 tracks of quirked raw noise, occasionally falling into anti-melody or collapsing into lock-groove ambience. The title track and "Mula" show most love and care in the rhythms and sounds, but ultimately this is music for adventurers - offkey, extreme and largely difficult.
