Konstruktivists

Glennascaul

Order now! Mp3s & jpegs

Konstruktivists is the Industrial project of Glenn Michael Wallis from Kent, England. In the late ?70s Wallis was a ?control agent? for Throbbing Gristle and the Industrial Records crew. Influenced by Krautrock bands like Can, NEU!, Cluster/Harmonia as well as Tuxedomoon, Yello, Chrome, and SPK, Glenn began to record his own material. After several cassette releases, Konstruktivists? first LP ?A Dissembly? was released in 1982 followed by ?Psykho Genetika? in 1983 and ?Black December? in 1984. That same year Wallis collaborated with his friend Chris Carter, of Throbbing Gristle and Chris and Cosey fame, on CTI?s ?Conspiracy International One?. In 1985, Glenn spent a week at Chris and Cosey?s studio recording 11 tracks that would become the ?Glennascaul? album originally released on Nigel Ayers' Sterile Records. Produced and mixed by Chris Carter, it marked a complete change in style for the band towards a beat-orientated rhythmic sound. ?Glennascaul? is proto electro at its very best, with Glenn?s hallucinogenic vocals on top. A musical collage designed to invoke images in the mind. The back cover clearly states ?No guitars. No Fairlights.? For this deluxe reissue we?ve added two bonus tracks recorded around the same time, now vinyl for the first time ever. All songs have been remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The record is housed in an exact replica of the original jacket featuring cover art, which is a co-production of Trevor Brown, Nigel Ayers and an image Glenn Wallis supplied. Each copy includes a double-sided 8x11 insert with liner notes by Nigel Ayers, press clippings, and photos.
