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
