Urban Gamelan

by 23 Skidoo

Urban Gamelan cover art

Fusing the metallic percussion of early industrial music with traditional Indonesian gamelan structures, the Sheffield collective crafted a highly unique, rhythmic masterpiece. The album relies heavily on repetitive, hypnotic grooves, scrap-metal bashing, and prominent dub-reggae bass lines. It stands as a brilliant cross-cultural experiment within the British post-punk and experimental underground.
