Micro_Penis, S / T , Doubtful Sounds, 2009. 14 €. 300. It attack with a fine disk, between madness and art brut, a true exploration antipsychiatric music. All four of Mulhouse Micro_Penis seduced us, by dint of stupidity and good sounds that are embedded in our heads until we no longer drop.
course, we do not really believe as crazy as that, but they remind us in some sort Idiots by Lars von Trier. This music may at first seem completely unstructured or scattered, but the playback is much more clever than that: it tells a story, you're not sure you want to hear, but that makes us less con spite of ourselves. Salutary.
Ellen Fullman & Konrad Sprenger Ort. Choose Records, 2004. 17 €. Best known for his long string instrument (long son granted in just intonation, in the wake of La Monte Young, it makes it sound with your fingers or a bow), Ellen Fullman here gives us a fantastic disc. It is a foray into the Americana much more pop than the other disks that had emerged so far. The songs are catchy and most haunting, Fullman Sprenger and pay great attention to the sounds they use and the result is superb. This disc is a sublime alloy between popular music and commitment to sound rooted in American minimalism. A treat!
We also received two albums Konrad Sprenger alone and just as good!
Pulse Emitter, decaying ships , Ultra Eczema, 2009. 20 €. 300 copies. But we have already exhausted and that, unfortunately. Excellent disc tripée electronic music!
Daryl Groetsch plays analog modular synthesizer and you can hear: the sounds here are warm, vibrant, and spin it spins in all directions. Real lysergic field trip is flat to death during the two long climbs contained on each side. Clearly, this is completely amazing and psyche. We love it!
And as always with Ultra Eczema, the pouch is very classy. Other outputs
noticed on the label: the excellent album Meat réception , the Acorns of external secretions, and the necessary Basement Recordings 1978-1982 , Belgian Leo Coomans (a record that reminds us of the musical experiences led by Fluxus artists, a little).
Speaking of Fluxus, we received the album Babb's Bridge , of Id m Theft Able , which for once we really evokes the music produced by this movement. A great big mess that goes in all directions, a gloubiboulga trumpet, bass drum, sound poetry, tapes and other crafts unlikely. It's pretty challenging but really enjoyable. And not without humor. It's released on labels Veglia, King Fondue Zeikzak and Taped Sounds in 2009. 14 €. An obscure gem.
El G, Captain this # 5 , Nashazphone, 2009. 19 €. sided LP shot to 160 copies. Excellent label released six Egyptian Nashazphone vinyl once and they are all very good. We choose to speak with El-G because we are big fans of this crazy explorer of his own psyche.
This fifth delivery of his Captain this series is alternately very funny, profoundly retarded, and dark, even cynical. It's about love, adolescence and bad jokes. You'll love it. Vive El G! Other
releases on the label: Birds of Delay (excellent psychedelic drones and very beautiful cover of Hendrik Hegray), Wasteland Jazz Unit (a sort of free jazz secured shut), forced (well gaulée noise music and beautiful cover of Jonas Delaborde), Slither (probably the best batch of this pancake, a massive trip!) and Ashtray Navigations (but we already have more of that one ...).
The New Monuments, new monuments, Important Records, 2009. € 15 . Circulation of 500 copies. Excellent trio of saxophone Don Dietrich (member of legendary Borbetomagus), Ben Hall (Graveyards) on drums and C. Spencer Yeh (Burning Star Core) on violin and electronics.
This live recording dates from 2008 in Glasgow. It takes the ears so that overflows with music everywhere! It's physical, very intense and at the same time it sounds very true: not because of the racket (well, it's very noise, anyway). We are fond of this crazy energy that we glue a potato insane. In this vein, a large disk.
The Black Flag, S / T , Chironex, 2009. 14 €. Flag Black is Chora, The Hunter Gracchus and Part Wild Horses Mane on Both Sides. Now that's totally improvised (shot record sessions in Lyon, by the way). At times, this album evokes great references to free jazz, while feeling both fragile and wobbly. Powerful but also when the eight musicians playing together to create a maelstrom of sound that surrounds us in many wonderful ways. Throughout the disc, the strings and winds maintain a tension so captivating and exciting blend sounds and phrasing continuous spiral. We love you very much.
A report, also from Chironex, the output of a LP Part Wild Horses Mane on Both Sides, very good too. And we still have a copy of the album Hunter Gracchus (out of print in the label). A bustling music scene to monitor.
The Horribly Wrong, and bleed C'mon Horribly Wrong With The , Eradicator Records & Shit in Can records, 2009. 14 €. 500 copies (100 red ringed, and our two copies) . The Horribly Wrong raged from 2002 to 2005, broadcasting a rock'n'roll square well, with strong accents garage as you like. Cradingue his singing punk agreements fluke is basic and extremely effective.
This album was in 2004 but never saw the day out a few CDRs. It is therefore a very good initiative to finally do justice to this nice recording! An excellent disc to dance like morons.
