about

Another new Auricle tape that is a ‘compilation of remixed, old and live recordings...’, to quote from Auricle Music’s latest catalogue, and a pretty good collection it’s turned out to be.
The 8 tracks are varied and among some of the best recorded by the band. With one or two exceptions the accent is mainly on the more rock/synth oriented side of David Gate and Robert Andrews’ output. The latter’s neat guitar playing is put to admirable use on tracks such as Destroying The Beauty Of Fragile Objects which is a "cool" jazz/rock-style piece, and Unfruchtbarmachung Der Ungelernt, a dense and gritty slab of slow urban blues. The 17 minute long Das Begrabnis, extracted from the original side-long piece that graced their Cerebration tape showcases the more experimental nature of Land of Yrx and features some interesting synth lines swooping and swirling in, out and around the march-like percussive backdrop. No Peace For The Alchemist is a melodious and emotive track with some fine sax playing and complementary synth and guitar work, a 9 minute gem of a piece in fact. Beschneider Erich which closes the album displays a weird mixture of dramatic synth playing and offbeat surrealist humour which works well.
A highly enjoyable collection of music from a band that deserve to be heard more widely. Well worth investigating.
Review by Peter Harrison, from Audion #5, page 25 (July 1987)

This release proves most web reviews about The Land Of Yrx wrong. If you have a listen to Unfruchtbarmachung Der Ungelernt - a heavy fried blues that fuses the sound of early Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle with Heldon a la Zind and Zind Destruction, and Beschneider Erich - a rather breezy track that blends such diverse elements as Ashra, Richard Pinhas and Mike Oldfield (and there are many more surprising diversions with the other 6 tracks) you'll soon realise that The Land Of Yrx were no mere synth band, but much more than that.

The Land Of Yrx image

The Land Of Yrx England, UK

The Land Of Yrx were an obscure instrumental, synth, space-rock, electro post new-wave band from Shrewsbury in the 1980s. They comprised David Gate, Rob Andrews, and sundry other friends during their original phase of existence. Despite getting some prestigious exposure at Electronica Festivals in Sheffield and London, and regular local gigs, The Land Of Yrx never got the break they deserved. ... more
