(Alternative, Shoegaze, Psychedelic) Difference Engine - Breadmaker - 1993 (2015 remaster), MP3, 320 kbps

Одна из незаслуженно забытых рок-групп 90-х — четверка Difference Engine из небольшого американского города Итака — самобытно соединяла в своем творчестве шугейз-, психоделик-рок и дрим-поп.
Группа наиболее известна своим выпущенным в 1993 году альбомом Breadmaker, ремастер 2015 года которого представлен в этой раздаче.

Once upon a time, bands from Ithaca, NY ruled the WORLD. Well, ok maybe not...er, try not in the least. Whatever the case, that's where Difference Engine's origins emanated from, and at the very least they deserved something resembling a national audience.
Approaching their records with a distortion-saturated ethereal sonic tact, it was convenient to deem D/E as dream pop, shoegazer, et al, but by my estimation they were one step ahead or behind that tricky curve. The co-ed quartet's first single, "And Never Pull," certainly evidenced parallels to My Bloody Valentine's gauzy latticework, but D/E pitched a curveball on that song, namely a petite burst of static that appeared at two-second intervals, just like the emissions of an aging cassette in a creaky tape deck. This was the product of effects, something few of their contemporaries could be bothered with. It's that sort of damaged beauty that made D/E's catalog a little more unique, particularly for an American enterprise. "And Never Pull" reemerged on their 1993 mini LP, Breadmaker, but with much of that aforementioned static tamped down a notch or two. Other tracks resembled For Against, and I certainly had no complaints with that. A harder to locate followup album was released in 1997, titled Calidad. It would appear that prior to the release of Breadmaker the band had moved shop to Rhode Island.
