Dennis Young - Primitive Substance - another sweet one from Athens of the North, an archival release by Liquid Liquid’s percussionist

After Liquid Liquid disbanded in 1985 I continued to record electronic music at my home studio in Edison,New Jersey but I decided to mix the songs for "Concepts" at another studio so I could have another set of ears to help with the mixes. I was lucky when I looked in the local music ads that I to find Gabriel Farm Studios in Princeton, New Jersey, owned and operated by Andy Gomory. Andy was a true talent, a keyboardist and arranger, we hit it off immediately. After he recorded my mixes we would record songs together. Andy played drum machines and keyboards while I played percussion, keyboards, & guitar and we both sang. When Andy and I parted ways in the late 1980's I decided to add both drums and percussion as well as overdubs from guest musicians many of which are included on this album. The albums timeframe ends in the year 2004. The later recordings have a jazz feel to it yet still had dance music elements mixed in. The title track "Primitive Substance" really sets the tone as you hear the great playing of Michael Gribbrook on Frugel horn/Trumpet and Gerry Carboy on bass. Also, my favorite song on the recording "Forgiveness" has David Axelrod (not the famous one) playing beautiful melodic bass guitar thru out. Special thanks to Euan Fryer of "Athensof the North" for releasing this album. As I listened to the songs I decided to use for this recording it brought back memories of the hours spent adding the extra sounds and instruments to the point where I wanted to listen to them again and again to see what I missed hearing . Keep a close ear this might happen to you after hearing "Primitive Substance". Thanks for listening! Dennis Young/April 2019

Book Review: Bloodlines

  Hello denizens of the undead, Are you ready for some more chills and thrills? I hope so, because today I’m reviewing Bloodlines by Dennis Young. Fun fact, Dennis is a local author in KC! I met him first at Planet Comicon, then again at Crypticon. I took that as a hint from the universe to bump him up on my TBR, and I chose this specific work because I’ve had a love for vampires since reading…

Mit der Wiederveröffentlichung der Synthesizer Experimente des Liquid Liquid Drummers Dennis Young gelingt Bureau B mal wieder eine großartige Überraschung. ‎Perhaps Dennis Young Einzelnen will still be known as the drummer of the New York band Liquid Liquid, active and revered in the early eighties, who – despite a rich, rich catalog – are mainly known for their piece »Cavern«, which Grandmaster Flash used as a sample template for his hit »White Lines«. Even less is known that Dennis Young, in addition to his work on the percussive elements at Liquid Liquid in the home studio, indulged in an extensive passion for synthesizers and emulated his idols such as Klaus Schulze, Brian Eno, Cluster or Edgar Froese. These appeared successively in the mid-eighties on several cassette recordings in small editions, the cross-section of which has now been compiled by Bureau B together with Young for a retrospective. Compared to its aforementioned role models, »W A V E / Electronic Music 1984–1988« (of course due to its much later creation) sounds much clearer, much more electronic. The tracks, which are mainly based on synthesizers, quickly get to the point, unfold over several delays and reverbs and completely dispense with percussive elements. In some places, Young also uses voices and guitars in an extremely delicate way, while open-hearted and tidy melodies penetrate into sunny spheres. The opening track »Project Ozma« is enough on its own and may be an example of another magical record from Bureau B. Great (re-)release!‎
