THIS HEAT – repeat / metal

Recorded from 1979–1980 Repeat / Metal is essentially This Heat’s third proper album, although it was released posthumously in 1993. Arguably their most radical work, Repeat / Metal features side-length tape experiments ranging from the dubby drum loops of “Repeat,” a 20 minute edit / reworking of their landmark piece “24 Track Loop” to the gamelan-inspired sounds of “Metal,” an electro-acoustic work recorded outside of their studio, Cold Storage, and helmed by member Gareth Williams * Modern Classics.
