The Comedy of Errors: Morgan Wild Project - Submersion (13 June 1992)

Buy this on Discogs

Once a year, between 1992 and 1995, New Zealander Dan Morgan and American Damon Wild would release a 12-inch under the monicker, Morgan Wild Project.  Submersion was their first release and saw the pair introduce themselves with something decidedly minimalist and, given the sounds of
trickling water that introduce the track, ambient.  So much so, that it wears its European influences openly and proudly.  It may also have been due to their releases being handled by the Belgian label, Buzz.
Like Spasms, it could have missed out on inclusion if it had stayed on the ambient trail, but what swings its place here is the keyboard work of Ariel Space which comes in for the first time at 1:11 and provides a shot of energy which helps lift the track out of becoming too stodgily minimal.

I have just started listening to Peel shows for 1993 and wait with bated breath to see whether he played Morgan Wild’s offering for that year.
