A Merchant’s Nightmare
(Krim Kram) CD $15.00
The nine spontaneous explorations of decrepit and barren, post-industrial playgrounds (shabby and halfway burnt to the ground) by this Berlin trio vaguely align with 20th century Italian improv and Morricone’s more far-out soundtracks, while also bringing to mind a European variant of weird and deconstructed jazz, strong on melody, fuzzy surface work, and trance-inducing, half-dissociated dream logic. Ancient and sci-fi, soothing and abrasive.
