Vinyl LP pressing. Reissue of an album originally released in 2015. While most ensembles are driven by personalities, The Necks are powered by an idea. A very large and simple idea - which now seems completely obvious... but only because The Necks thought of it and made it work. Now their pleasure is sequentially to re-imagine and explore that idea - the prime directive of which seems to be to be that each unfolding step and every passing detail of any performance be allowed to evolve organically out of the musical conditions established at it's moment of departure. In other words, you are in the territory of chaos and catastrophe theory; of hurricanes and butterfly wings... And, since one can never step twice into the same river, each beginning has led to wildly unpredictable and variant outcomes; and imperceptibly: you never hear the changes until somehow they have already happened. "We end up," Lloyd Swanton writes, "in a very different place from whatever our initial notion... had been." In the case of Vertigo, you are dropped straight into an almost Feldmanesque musical universe, in which sounds - seemingly disconnected - are already there; creating space rather than inhabiting it. Then, without trying, they mutate. Not mechanically and not according to any pre-determined process - because it's always clear that what you hear is being played by human beings; that it's music. A special kind of music that is not pushy or demanding or demonstrative, but rather co-operative, spatial, ambiguous. A music that leaves room for it's listeners.

"Vertigo" is a mesmerizing LP by the acclaimed Australian trio The Necks, released on the renowned label Rer. Known for their genre-defying approach to improvised music, The Necks have built an international reputation over three decades with their hypnotic soundscapes and seamless interplay. "Vertigo" continues this tradition, offering a single extended piece that evolves organically across its runtime?blending elements of jazz, minimalism, ambient, and experimental rock into an immersive listening experience. Since forming in 1987, The Necks?Chris Abrahams (piano), Tony Buck (drums), and Lloyd Swanton (bass)?have received critical acclaim worldwide; highlights include ARIA Awards nominations and celebrated performances at major festivals such as Big Ears and Jazzfest Berlin. Their discography stands as a testament to innovation in contemporary music. Rer Megacorp is a pioneering independent record label based in London, specializing in avant-garde and experimental music since its founding by Chris Cutler in 1978. With a commitment to artistic integrity and boundary-pushing releases from artists like Henry Cow, Art Bears, Fred Frith?and of course The Necks?Rer has become synonymous with quality productions that challenge conventional musical norms.
