El Tunel vinyl

CPI may well be an unfamiliar name, but the two artists involved in the project are by no means newcomers. Hivern Discs completists should be more than familiar with Marc PiNol, who has completed the odd remix for the label as well as showing off his knowledge of rare music with some excellent contributions to the highly sought after Hiverned series. His partner in CPI is Hugo Capablanca, a self-described "eternal dilettante" who is best known for the Disco Capablanca label he founded half a decade ago. Given the lack of original productions from Capablanca and PiNol, this CPI project debut in the shape of the El Tunel/Proceso 12? makes for compelling listening. Apparently committed to tape over two intense days of recording, "El Tunel" lives up to it's billing as a "15 minute cosmic odyssey" and then some! Complementing it, "Proceso" has more pronounced New Beat leanings and will appeal to fans of the more haywire acid rhythm tracks. Killer remix of the latter track from Comeme artist Barnt too!
