Meaning \"soul friend\" in Gaelic, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnamchara\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a new compilation of buried treasure from \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eNina Walsh\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's colossal \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eWoodleigh Research Facility\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e archive. W.R.F. was formed in 2015 by Nina and late studio partner \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndrew Weatherall\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e to help wrangle the vast output recorded together beyond his solo releases. Spotlighting nine tracks from the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eApparently Solo\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e series of EPs recorded between 2016- 2019 and released on Bandcamp in 2023, this lustrous time capsule marks the culmination of Walsh and Weatherall's creative relationship born after they clicked at London's earliest acid house clubs, becoming partners then managers of their Sabres Of Paradise\/Sabrettes labels before taking different paths by the late '90s. An accomplished musician, Nina had learned the art of studio technology by the time they reunited and started working together in 2012. Created at her Facility 4 Studio situated in the dangerous, gang-ridden no man's land between Streatham and Mitcham, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnamchara\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e captures the super-prolific creative stretch starting in 2015 that produced Weatherall's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eConvenanza\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eQualia\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e solo sets, W.R.F.'s \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Phoenix Suburb (And Other Stories)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e plus a whole lot more. According to Nina, Andrew envisioned the spectacular \"Borderland\" as natural successor to \"Smokebelch,\" his most revered track. When it came to his remix, Nina enlisted renowned viola virtuoso \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSarah Sarhandi\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and composed new harmonies with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003ePachelbel\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's Canon in D Minor in mind. The set also catches the breakthrough period when, through Nina's careful coaxing, Andrew started using the computer system she'd set up to better express his musical visions by arranging the elements, grooves and melodies she sent him. Still considered the UK's greatest DJ-producer, Andrew's arrangements were inspired by his club-igniting sets. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnamchara\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e straddles the gamut of musical styles explored by W.R.F. at this time, from slower paced psychedelic \"drug chug\" outings \"We Two.\" Many tracks fly elements from the enormous sonic library Nina inherited from late partner \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eErick Legrand\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e that she called The Akashic Library of Sound. Marking Andrew's 2016 admission into the vault, \"Rattly Old Puffin\" boasts Erick's psychedelic guitar and tumbling drum loop Weatherall would run with, including on \"Borderland.\" Bringing down the curtain, \"Alma's\" exquisitely poignant melody that unfolds over thirteen time-stopping minutes was composed by Nina while navigating Erick's birth and departure date anniversaries to accompany Andrew's reading from \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eGordon Burn\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's 1991 same-named novel at 2018's Durham Literary Festival. Burn's novel imagines early 60s popstrel Alma Cogan, who succumbed to cancer in 1966 surviving to reflect on fame. A beautiful grand finale for this astonishing selection of pure gold from the vaults.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrack Listing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e01.
