Friends of Matthew is a techno/rave project with members Cino Berigliano, Jon Pearn, Michael Gray and Nick Ratcliffe. The band’s title is based on a young boy from Leicester whose love for house music and belief in aliens from another universe exists. “The Calling” is a techno piece from 1990 which uses vocal samples from a song by The Carpenters titled “Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft” from 1977 where Karen’s beautiful voice becomes a cry out for those in space to answer. Their version is a cover of Klaatu's 1975 original. This track has more mystique based on the sound effects which create a question of our universe itself. There are moments where trance is the style and a lilting sound of silence says more than the idea. Techno music during the early 90s were released as underground singles as the raw recording was intended as the experience as a whole.
I have taken the 12” versions of “The Calling” and moved them into a new ReStructure Mix with more of the same mystery. There is a new drum track throughout the remix to pump out the rhythm with more intent.
