JOSHUA FALKEN – FALKEN’S MAZE (GO BEAT) JFK1 (1998)





A long lost and overlooked musical deviation from the mighty Kieran Hebden. Nicking the alias from 80’s sci-fi classic ‘War Games’, this brief excursion into the (at the time) newly emerging 80’s electro influence, it is a sound in which Mr Hebden has never touched again. Perhaps it was down to Go Beat, which went tits up just after this release. Either way this is a wee gem for the 21st Century’s answer to Brian Eno.

I have loads of rarities from Kieran Hebden which will appear up here in time. Around the turn of the millennium he launched his Four Tet alias which took the spaciousness of his post rock group Fridge and injected it with more of a groove. It’s strange that a lot of this era has been deleted considering how much his profile has lifted in the emerging years.
