Electronica/Techno Savant Lee Negin releases new
“Technopera,” The Cheeze Chronicles: Volume V on June 20, 2014 (Passing
Phase Records)
Continuing his epic cycle of
Technoperas--patterned after Wagner’s “Der Ring des Nibelungen” (‘The Ring
Cycle’) -- Lee Negin launches his electric and eclectic new album, The Cheeze
Chronicles: Volume V (Passing Phase Records) with an official release on June
20th, 2014. The material is a blend
of
Techo-funk-psychedelic-jazz-world-rock-ambient-electronica-experimenatal-social
satire-irony-mysticism-prog-surrealism-dadaism-industrial-pop-metal-Musique
concrete-Western Classical-impressionism, etc., Negin’s usual musical milieu.
"Hearing this artist's
expertly produced work is to experience a vision aimed beyond the realm of pop.
...Negin never offers the same sound twice, employing singers as ensemble
instruments and working with sounds in a way that reminds us at times of Brian
Eno, Aphex Twin and Wendy Carlos." - Music Connection Magazine
“Lee Negins new
‘Technodelic” craziness, “The Cheeze Chronicles: Volume V” will surely keep you
awake! Once you think you have it figured out, the music takes you in a completely
different direction. What is more surprising—beyond Negin’s mastery, sound
quality and his sheer brilliance—is that the world he creates, while appearing
‘absurd’ and ‘bizarre’--is much less absurd than the ‘real’ world most of us
apparently inhabit. If Negin’s aim was to point out the absurdities of our
society and contemporary life, then he hit the nail fully on the head.” –
Gianmaria Consiglio (Esteemed Italian Music Journalist)
"Man, it's a sonic
journey of epic proportions. In the world of opera, the Cheeze is mighty
indeed. Negin doesn't so much hit the funk button, as kick it all the way to
Neptune. I'm loving it." - Simon Humphrey (UK Producer/Engineer: The
Clash, Culture Club, David Byrne, Hans Zimmer, Jeff Beck, etc.)
Album sonics are impeccable.
Recorded and mixed in Negin’s state-of-the-art studio in Seoul, the album was
mastered by one of the preeminent mastering engineers in the world, Pete Maher
in London. Pete has worked with U2, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, Gary Numan,
Patti Smith, The Rolling Stones, etc.
The album will be released
as a limited edition CD, with cover art by a brilliant young Korean
illustrator-cartoonist, Juyong Lee. It will also be released digitally and
available at CD Baby, Amazon (Internationally) iTunes, etc.
First single and video from
the album, “(Let’s Join) The Twit Parade” released 13 June. Video at http://youtu.be/SWSU62zT1ow
