Burn Slow Chris Liebing Standard edition

'Novembergrey' and the recent "And All Went Dark" are the first taste of what to expect from Burn Slow, a 10-track album with vocal contributions from a diverse range of artists: Miles Cooper Seaton (Akron / Family), Mute labelmate Polly Scattergood (onDeadWaves), Cold Cave, Aleen and, of course Gary Numan. Burn Slow is a minimalist electronic epic and start of a new chapter for one of techno's leading authorities. It might not be what you expect for a DJ synonymous with fast, hard, and heavy techno, but according to Chris Liebing, he's always been something of a slow starter. "I've wanted to do something like Burn Slow all my life," he says. While retaining the framework of the techno beats that Chris Liebing has dedicated his life to for the past 25 years, here he also seeks out new harmonic territories, taking aim at the heart rather than the feet, in order to tackle some deep themes.
