OYC's first album of new material for ten years is out now. Titled "Sleepwalker", it was recorded live across Europe. The music forms the soundtrack to the film of the same name by Andrew Hulme. The music and images were conceived together and the resulting album is compiled from 24 performances spanning nine countries over two years. O Yuki Conjugate (OYC) are an English post-industrial/ambient musical group founded in 1982 in Nottingham by Roger Horberry and Andrew Hulme and still - intermittently - active today. Their music has been variously described as 'ambient', 'fourth world', 'ethnic', 'tribal' and 'dark wave'; the band prefer to call it 'dirty ambient'. They are currently in their fourth incarnation based around Horberry and Hulme. Previous members include Clare Elliot, Tim Horberry, Malcolm McGeorge, Dan Mudford, Pete Woodhead and Rob Jenkins, with Joe Gardiner contributing sax.
The British experimental ambient unit O Yuki Conjugate was formed in Nottingham in 1982 by multi-instrumentalists Andrew Hulme and Roger Horberry; inspired by the atmospheric guitar instrumentals of the Durutti Column, they began experimenting with keyboards and tape loops, adding percussion to the mix before debuting with the soundscapes of 1984's Scene in Mirage.

Winter record, flowers and snowflakes. Here is the blue sky into which the breath evaporates and kisses the white clouds, the crystal voice and the brass notes will fall like a wet snow on a long gone time, something vanished and still…
For the first time on vinyl; two super rare 1980-82 tapes by Two Daughters; a near-mythical, Throbbing Gristle/Industrial Records - affiliated duo who recorded glossolalic hymns, spectral percussive rituals and Bowie cut-ups in Brixton, c.1980-1982 for Nurse With Wound's United Dairies. A huge recommendation if you're into Dome, Zoviet France, O Yuki Conjugate, Panda Bear, NWW, Early Current 93 - what a find!
The Mystical Era is a harmonious collection. The best works from this series are strange, melancholic, but always attracting to their enchanting magical archaic romance. The collection contains all the gamut of mystical moods, from impressionistic tendencies with oriental shades to motives of ancient spiritual knowledge, from acoustic chamber academic music with a minimalist bias to ethnic music of different peoples and eras. All this magnificently shines with the names of the creators: Gregorian, Keiko Matsui, Era, Enigma, Dellirium, Lyra, etc.
