All records used were melted, warped or broken by briefly placing them on a gas heater. The records were randomly altered this way to allow the styluses to find and stay in their own loops themselves on the wavy record surfaces. No samplers or editing - live aleatoric playback recordings only.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased solely on the concept, you might imagine “my kid could do that” results—more fun to think about than listen to. What’s baffling are the lopsided grooves Maló coaxes out of chance, error, and chaos. He comes off like a sexy, Cheshire-grinning version of The Caretaker, ditching those depressing ballroom ‘78s in favor of a few heady world music, exotica, and spoken word crates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/soundcloud%253Atracks%253A2298737852\u0026amp;color=%23ff5500\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=true\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc;line-break: anywhere;word-break: normal;overflow: hidden;white-space: nowrap;text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;font-weight: 100;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/sternrecords\" title=\"Stern Records\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\"\u003eStern Records\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/sternrecords\/pol-malo-right-into-the-sun\" title=\"Pol Maló - Right Into The Sun\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\"\u003ePol Maló - Right Into The Sun\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFROM THE LABEL:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally released on CD-R in 1999 by Cha-Bashira Records Tokyo under the alias “Orange Head,” this new 2xLP edition features fully remastered audio and new cover art by Pol.
