Review: Here's a reboot of the ever reliable Rotter's Golf Club, established in 2001 by the late great Andrew Weatherall. The Woodleigh Research Facility was the Guv'nor's most recent project that he produced for before his untimely departure. His partner on the project was Nina Walsh, a sometime member of Two Lone Swordsmen (with Keith Tenniswood) and this will mark the fourth edition in a series. Features the Giallo-influenced cosmic Italo of "Karra Mesh", the proto-house vibe of "Section" treading the same sonic territory as early Jamie Principle or Virgo 4, and for even more variety there's the tongue-in-cheek oddball groove of "There Was A Glow".
Review: The Woodleigh Research Facility is the name adopted by Andrew Weatherall and Nina Walsh to channel the creative partnership that began a staggering 30 years ago, which, by and large, has found its ultimate release in 2020. Adding to a huge torrent of music that AW's legendary Rotter's Golf Club has released this year, Facility 4: A Walk With Bob & Bill Vol 2 sends in two uniquely badass, analogue to the core, and firing electro tracks and the one meandering, atmospheric and industrial techno number, "Poiesis". For the more cosmic and melody minded head to "I Hear The Sun", with the sweetest treat in this package the beatdown sparks and sizzling sonics of "Without Distraction". The real deal.
