The Carbon Manual: I Call It Love - Live in Bristol

Merging a modern poetic Beat tradition based on Burroughs, Ginsberg and Kerouac with a sound informed by Krautrock and artists such as Suicide, Slint and Leonard Cohen, The Carbon Manual's intense spoken word, organic rock mantra is an electro‐psychedelic sound ‐ at once bleak, tense and hypnotic ‐ that pierces the soul.

Says Red Star's Marty Thau, "The Carbon Manual is pretty brilliant, an artistic and enlightened psychedelic adventure. Their music will be viewed as refreshingly advanced and surprisingly accessible for those able to appreciate it."

Adam Walton, leading BBC Radio Wales DJ and a great supporter of the band says, "Some pretty deep and philosophical modulation going on there. From the point of view of the vocals, if Jack Kerouac hadn't passed on earlier or if Jim Morrison hadn't been such a ham‐fisted poet perhaps, perhaps The Doors would have been a bit more like The Carbon Manual. There is some kind of aware and exploratory philosophical modernization of the Velvet Underground going on there...Very, very good indeed, great depth to it, they are songs of experience and that shines through...Wonderful, wonderful lyrics".
