Aube: Flare
- Luminous
- Vibrate-Flasher (Alternative Mix)
- The Silent Light
- Luminous Live 1992
"Flare" is the second Aube CD re-issue of rare tracks on the new Irislight
sublabel. The singular sound source this time is the very common Aube use of
fluorescent and glow lamps. The first track originally appeared on the 1003
G.R.O.S.S. cassette and appears here in its 46 minute unsegmented form for the
first time. The heating and cooling filaments of the lamps start off the track
which slowly builds in intensity. The next two tracks are from the rare 7 inch
originally released on Syntactic Records in Austria. The first selection,
however, 'Vibrate-Flasher', has been reworked and remixed into subtle drones
that suddenly shift into menacing dissonance. The last track is from a live
performance at the Shuga-Du Gallery in Japan in 1992. Tentative tones
hesitantly begin the track alongside expanding and contracting bulb filaments.
"Luminous Live 1992" quickly builds the tones into a rare rhythmic crescendo
that ends this Aube release in fine form.
