Deep Reduction
Title: Deep Reduction - Company: GetHip (USA) - Cat No: gh-1065cd / gh-1065
Format: 12" lp & cd - Released: Jan 2000 - Status: Currently in print
Deep Reduction is the name of the studio band formed by Deniz with members of the Stump Wizards. Designed to do simple and basic roots music that for whatever reason did not suit the members parent bands, Deep Reduction continued to record after the underground success of the first single, Black Tulip. The music is a blend of garage punk/pop with electric blues and psychedelia thrown in. Vocals are shared.
The album was recorded mostly live in 5 days using vintage Fender, Marshall and Ampeg amplifiers. The original album art was totally rejected by the record company, having apparently produced a violent reaction in the owner. Replacement art was found, which features flood aftermath photos and a quote by Howlin' Wolf, but the band feels the first cover was much better and hope to use it at some time in the future.
