CMJ (1/5/04, p.16) - Ranked #18 in CMJ's "Top 20 Most-Played Albums of 1985"

Title Note

Shriekback: Barry Andrews (keyboards, programming, percussion); Paul Hirsch (percussion).

Additional personnel: Lu (guitar).

Engineers include: Hans Zimmer, Austin Ince, Simaen Skolfield.

Shriekback managed to (somewhat) break out of the confines of the "underground" through the pitchblack plasma brews and cantilevered rhythms of OIL AND GOLD. Opening their sound beyond the sinister brittle funk and experimental electronic exercises of CARE and JAM SCIENCE, OIL AND GOLD vacillates between being a lumbering, multi-headed beast (the angular funk-rock of "Malaria," the circuit-driven stampede of "Nemesis") and a glimpse into the tiny creatures inhabiting the underbrush in the stereo field ("Faded Flowers," the ghostly "This Big Hush," the deep-space cadences of "Only Thing that Shines").

The backbone of Shriekback has always been Barry Andrews; the broad range of synthetics and various sundry devices he uses to flesh out the band's naked animal consistently fascinates. (Instrumentation labeled "jp8 hoover of Christ" and "deadly ratmorse" only serve to heighten the imagistic nature of the sounds they actually create.) This is not to minimize the equal contributions of guitarist Dave Allen, bassist Carl Marsh and rhythm maven Martyn Barker, who collectively bring Shriekback's galvanizing rock-forms to life.
