Terrascope.co.uk have kindly said a word about the album in their Rumble for July...here it is:
"Out of Brisbane, Australia, comes The Scrapes, a duo consisting of violin player Adam Cadell and guitarist Ryan Potter. Having released a highly acclaimed home-made CDR, ‘Electric Mourning Blues’ they’ve now converted it into a proper release on Joy. The instrumental music presented is dronish and psychedelic, sometimes with repetitive patterns, either slightly amplified, or with the amplifier turned to eleven, distorting the instruments into fields of Sunn O))). The inspiration is said to be artists like Arvo Pärt, Philip Glass and La Monte Young, as well as Tony Conrad and Spacemen 3. Listening to this music I would go for the electric ones. Even though presented by only two players their music is really rich of impressions and moods. About and hour of music split into nine magnificent pieces. Most of the time I just lean back, full of trust for this powerful chamber music extravaganza, and enjoy every moments of it. Where to find it? A lot of places, but to make it easy you can use one of my own favourites: www.normanrecords.com"
