Anthony Manning – Concision

I kind of have the opposite opinion of Tine. Not to say he's wrong, but it's surprising to me that Anthony Manning had a significant amount of gear at his disposal, as the synth sounds seem rather cheap. The compositions throughout this album don't really seem to go anywhere, mostly a bunch of rambling melodies. This album sounded more to me like something one would find on a free netlabel than a professional label. But you know...that's just, like, my opinion man. For what it's worth, track 13 was my favorite. 6/10

This was apparently the last thing Anthony Manning managed to record in his home studio before everything was stolen, but what a record it is. The music is like nothing else, with structures from contemporary pop and classical music, and layers of psychedelia this might very well be one of England’s most important releases ever in the field of electronic music. Classic timeless album that just seems to flow in the realms of time. Simply ACE.
