Every time I feature a Basic Channel track I wonder what I can say that hasn’t been said before. It’s never difficult with amazing music though, and if there’s one pair of artists who have the innate ability to create something that can elicit different reactions and feelings every time a piece of their music is listened to, it’s Mark Ernestus and Moritz von Oswald. ‘Inversion’ is almost 18 minutes long, but it passes in an instant. It sounds like the backdrop to a longboat full of vikings raping and pillaging a small, helpless coastal village in Yorkshire back in the dark ages, but it’s so delicate that you could be stroking a cat while the berserkers are on the rampage thinking that all is right with the world. An eternal wormhole of sonic bliss, into which you can pour the entire contents of your imagination and get different results every time, going beyond beauty in the course of its wanderings.
