Free Music! Water Borders - "What Wiwant"

Primarily inspired by their lifelong passion for 80s industrial legends Coil and the kind of underground UK dance productions often heard on Rinse FM, Harbored Mantras is a dense and dizzying soundworld; a dank, tribal and often disorientating dance record which, as the two piece state was intended to be, "a coalescence of digital and analog sounds and textures."

As well as looking to Coil and the UK dance scene for inspiration Harbored Mantras also incorporates a vast array of Water Border's influences including Gamelan rhythms, proto techno, Scott Walker, African drum patterns, dub, Popul Vuh and Glasser, who actually designed the artwork for the album.
