AGF/Delay is a collaboration of German sound-artist and poet Antye Greie and Vladislav Delay. Their first full-length album ‘Explode’ was recorded 2004 in Northern Finland, with a production process basically cut off from civilization. Finally released in 2005, the album strips both musical concepts of Greie and Delay to the bone. Gone are the more glitchy, ultra-processed vocals of some of Greie’s previous solo works, and mostly gone is the ultra-complex rhythm programming that Delay had done under his own name. Despite its electronic origins, ‘Explode’ is strangely organic, with all the decay and corrosion that implies. AGF/Delay are currently preparing a second album, ‘Symptoms’, which is going to be released in January 2009.
