Cover of Timon Irnok Manta by Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe

This is a release on Type Records, the label I co-founded with John Xela. John was responsible for its musical output; I contributed in the first few years on design and running the label. The catalogue is archived here for posterity.

Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe has been through many shifts in his musical career, from playing with influential Chicago rockers 90 Day Men and forging haunting vocal drones as Lichens all the way to becoming a member of transcendent rockers Om, and 'Timon Irnok Manta' marks the beginning of a brand new stage in his process. Recorded under his full name and based on fabled British science fiction series The Tomorrow People, the record establishes Lowe's format perfectly, with a single mantra-like piece followed by a 'version' in classic dub fashion. This is a brave step from one of the most compelling voices in experimental music, and the beginning of what promises to be a very rich musical seam.

Made at Type.
