Space, particularly inner headspace was big news in the early eighties. Manhattan's Liquid Liquid the quartet of Scott Hartley Richard McGuire, Salvatore Principato and Dennis Young effortlessly melded and shaped there own, very groovy, space. Loose but tight, edgy and inviting, both dry and wet, the phrase Slip In And Out of Phenomenon, the title of this retrospective collection - and the vocal hook from their most infamous track Cavern - perfectly nails both the sound and the sensation of listening to Liquid Liquid. Over little more than 3 EPs in their lifetime Liquid Liquid rerouted the rythmns of the subway and the steam of the city to some imagined African nighttime future.
