Roger Eno
MAGNETIC is like a tour around the other side of GAUDI, who always had the off-beat of reggae in his step, but since his teenage years also had music from experimental electronica, new wave, krautrock and proto-punk flowing through his veins. Bands like Bauhaus, Tuxedomoon, Yello, Cabaret Voltaire, Devo, Killing Joke, Talkingheads and The Residents informed his early years. For those familiar with GAUDI’s work these influences can be heard in a myriad of different ways in most of his 15 albums to date, but predominantly as flavours amongst the dub textures. In MAGNETIC, however, he has reversed the polarity, north has become south, there is dub seasoning to be found within, but the body, tone and flavour of this album are another beast altogether.
