M Squared, a Sydney-based independent label known for discovering acts like The Makers Of The Dead Travel Fast and Systematics, has released numerous great pieces. This is the three-track debut single by Ya Ya Choral, a band formed by the same members of Systematics following the group’s breakup in 1982, led by scene figurehead Patrick Gibson. The content is outstanding, featuring the minimal wave track “Gods Buzzsaw” with ethereal synths and driving rhythm machine, "dislocated" wave track “Nonsense” and “Waiting Time” sung by Fiona Graham, which pounds out a medium-tempo minimal beat. Every release on this label has become a rarity.
The Makers Of The Dead Travel FastやSystematicsなどを見出し多くの傑作を残したシドニーのインディペンデントレーベルM Squared。本作はシーンのキーパーソンPatrick Gibsonが率いたSystematicsの解散にあたり新たに同メンバーで結成されたYa Ya Choralの全3曲入りのデヴューシングル。これがまた抜群の内容で幽玄なシンセ使いとリズムマシーンが走るミニマル・ウェーブ”Gods Buzzsaw”、レゲエ感覚な脱臼ウェーブ”Nonsense”、ミディアムなミニマルビートが打ちつけるFiona Graham歌う”Waiting Time”を収録。最高!どのレーベル作品も稀少となっています。
