Interplanetary Prophets: Zero Hour 12″

Collaboration EP between Ital and Hieroglyphic Being. I don’t own any other records by either artist, but I like what I’ve heard, especially “Ital’s Theme”, which I immediately thought sounded like it could’ve been on an early µ-Ziq release, so it only made sense that he started releasing albums on Planet Mu. The tracks on this 12″ don’t seem to build and progress in the same way as a lot of the other Ital tracks I’ve heard, it seems more like it’s a bunch of jam sessions edited down, especially in the way the A side fades out after 13 minutes. The B-side is a little more concise, and “Zero Hour” (the standout track) has DBX-esque vocals, and a minimal beat with plenty of spacey echo. And then the record ends with “Running Out Of Time”, a standstill ambient track which feels like being caught in a threshold.
