The sphere of Martin Rev's influence and the relevance of his music may well be related to the fact that he was one of the first artists who succeeded in grasping the abstraction of electronic music, infusing it with a sense of immediacy built on raw energy. Whilst the likes of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eLa Monte Young\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eTerry Riley\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteve Reich\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhilip Glass\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eKraftwerk\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e were busy digging in the electronic music garden, Martin Rev found inspiration in the streets of New York. Rev's music is informed by characteristic influences of the city, a place where doo-wop harmonies intermingle with the hiss and hum of the metropolis, dissolving into a collage of noise. So it is that dreamy, chiming melodies blur into ominous whirrs and drones emanating from rhythm machines and layers of distorted synthesizer. This polarity between convergence and alienation describes something deeply American, as reflected in the track names and the cover image of a rodeo rider: \"The idea came from the way the tracks sounded as instrumentals. They took on a different visually descriptive dimension, even more so in combination. The visualization was an immediate soundscape of the American landscape. That's where the titles and cover came from.\" Many of the pieces found on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003eCheyenne\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003e can be traced back to the sessions for the second \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSuicide\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e album \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003eAlan Vega \/ Martin Rev\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (1980) which was produced by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eRic Ocasek\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, singer for \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Cars\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. Almost a decade passed before Martin Rev got around to editing and developing the material. \"Most of the album was recorded in 1980, but the remaining few tracks from 1988 into the early '90s. The '80s tracks all went under a concerted editing process, to make them work for me even better as instrumentals. I didn't get around to that until there was an offer to release them, which was in the early 90's as well.\" Indeed, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003eCheyenne\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003e plays out like a rural, yet intense road movie, crossing a landscape rich in beauty and contradictions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"LPs New","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48780374147265,"sku":null,"price":62.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1407\/4970\/files\/cheyenne.jpg?v=1731546232","url":"https:\/\/hathillrecords.com.au\/products\/martin-rev-cheyenne-vinyl-lp","provider":"Hat Hill Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
