about

Q Factors (a mixtape) an alternative remix collection, is a taste
of what has gone before and what is still to come.

In the remix style, this release was first
conceived in 2000 and has very slowly evolved,
until the start of this year when the final tracks were finished.


Q factors opens with the sonic trip beat chaos engine
that is ‘Drowning Mind’ mixed by
former collaborator, Marc Challans.
‘Hownow' calms things down with an atmospheric
trip hop vibe, mix by Challans/Amp Studio.
‘Lost Love Cries’, a lost love song by Karine Charff,
given an electronica twist by Chris Smith
under the moniker of Blaubac.
Guitar riff grooves return with ‘Loveflower’
given a second airing in this collection
in re-mastered form, this track got a digital and
limited CDR release on Amp’s ‘Motus’ album
back in 2008. Mix by Amp Studio.
Donald Ross Skinner supplies the mix of ‘Just Get it’,
an edgy stand off with guitar washes
and a lonesome harmonica haunted by
Karine’s vocals and tripped up beats.
‘D’espoir de Mourir’ enters as low-fi french
minimal techno in a gothic sea of relative calm,
mastered from cassette tape,
mix by former Amp cohort, Olivier Gauthier, who
these days maybe found under the guise of Soul Minority.
‘Waiting Room Blues’ is a track which escaped
inclusion on the 'US’ album, and has found a home here,
a slice of quirky french techno blues.
‘Push n Hold’ heralds a journey into a storm
to the other side of the hope and onwards towards
some sense of peace. mix by Amp Studio.
Following on is the ambient electronica
of ‘When & Where’, mix by Yellow6.
Finally a conclusion in the
romantic tradition ‘Ombres sur la Lune’
floats in, a slice of spacey ambience
mixed by French act Ladder to Royale,
Karine’s haunting vocals drifting us out…

about

Amp London, UK

Amp is an electronic post rock band formed by Richard F. Walker (aka Richard Amp) in 1991, after a 2 year hiatus Amp resurfaced with French vocalist Karine Charff, and a succession of floating collaborators.

MC Strong:
"Occupying musical territory somewhere between shoegazing and the Bristol 'Trip Hop' sound, AMP had created a work of sweeping soundscapes, echoing ambience and waves of feedback." ... more
