Nomo - Rocket #9 - Nu Tones Ubiquity Records USA, 2006 UR12202 12" (NEW) Tracks: 1. Rocket 2. Nu Tones 3. Electric Sawblade Gamelan Sounds 4. Nu Tones (Mathew Dear Remix) Nomo back on the scene with the first single from their already released debut album. Ubiquity does this one really well, putting Nomo's cover of Sun Ra's "Rocket #9(1)" as the first track even though the name of the single is "Nu Tones(2)" which shows up as the inside cut on the a-side. The Sun Ra tune is captivating to say the least. It starts out with a wall of dissonant sounds that Ra is probably smiling down on from the mothership as I write this. There's something that I am totally in love with about the vocals on this tune. Goddam if they don't make me want to get off this planet on my own rocket #9. "Nu Tones" is also a strong selection as it is the opener on the full-length and really sets the foundation for the band's sound. Mathew Dear's remix of "Tones" fills out the entire b-side and is the true gem on this record. It is super minimal and techy, but still somehow feels soulful largely thanks to the live flute that floats in and out of the mix. This guy just makes beautiful electronic music without the floss. More bang for the buck with some nice percussion snippets and a locked groove to round out the goodies on this quality piece of vinyl.
