WHERE IS IT TAKING PLACE?īeyond the Pale is a brand new arts and music festival taking place at the Glendalough Estate, Co. Wicklow - here's everything you need to know about Beyond the Pale.įrom day-by-day breakdown to how to get there, who's playing and how much booze you're allowed to bring, we've got you covered. The remaining numbers sound more predominantly like Boom with occasional guest help, as with the buried drumming from Prevost on "The Calm Beyond" or the warm oscillations turned harsher via Martin's work on "The Circle Is Blue.It's the newest addition to the Irish summer festival calendar, and it kicks off this weekend in Co. "Dusk" definitely has an overwhelming sense of Martin's low, dark musical meditations, minor keys echoing into the infinite. Another long monster of a song, "In the Cold Light of Day," sounds like a full collaboration minus Shields, with distorted, stretched-out Martin saxophone and other chilling sonic touches dominating, along with more odd, entrancing percussion work from Prevost and mournful sighs from at least one of the members. Shields' own guitar work steers away from recreating My Bloody Valentine, instead sounding like strange howls in the distance and calmer, simpler tones up-front amidst the expected Boom touches. "Beyond the Pale" itself is an attractive monster of a track - hearing everything from Martin's doomy, echoing drones and massive wah-wah guitar to Prevost's bowed cymbals in the mix makes for a fascinating and disturbing experience. Boom is credited with main songwriting and producing, understandable as he was taking the lead with the whole thing in the first place, though he and Martin did mix the album together at Shields' London studios. Whatever the exact reason, Beyond the Pale also is the one time the original four members of the group, Shields, Sonic Boom, Martin, and Prevost, all performed together under the E.A.R. album with the first track, also the title song - perhaps they had to remix it to death or something. Arguably this had something to do with Kevin Shields, who makes his one and only appearance on an E.A.R. Recorded in 1992 and promised to appear shortly after Mesmerised's release, Beyond the Pale only finally surfaced four years later, on a completely different label than indicated. ![]()
