45 Minutes From Underneath The Beds
(Absurd - A6) CD $12.00
Scandinavian performance/composition iconoclast’s speech impedimentia heralds his highly idiosyncratic noise bordering on personal field recordings.
Inweglos
(Absurd) CD $12.00 (Out-of-stock)
A perfectly timed reissue of this 1980 LP by Ralf Wehowsky (RLW, P16.D4), Jochen Pense, Joachim Stender, and Achim Szepanski. Synthesizers, rhythm boxes, the group’s monotone delivery, and a dark Berlin vibe that’s creepier than running into Lydia Lunch and Rowland S. Howard at a key-swapping party, all contribute to Inweglos’s position as a one of the key Neue Deutsche Welle links between dejected No Wave disco and a Quaalude-damaged Kraftwerk. With non-LP bonus tracks. Imported from Greece.
Live From The Canteens Of Atlantis
(Absurd) CD $15.00
Part performance art, part live music installation, Live From The Canteens Of Atlantis was created by Colin Fletcher, Tim Kirby and Peter Strickland using contact mics, samplers and signal processing to document themselves cooking. Predominantly percussive mixes with loops, grinds, and clanks should satisfy industrial technoids; plenty of splatches, cutlery jiggles, rumbling climaxes, and big ol’ sizzles will please the noise-heads; and conceptualists, well, those beard-strokers will buy anything, so you know they’re on board. Disc one contains selections from 1998 to 2001, disc two the group’s complete final appearance in Switzerland. Imported from Greece.
