Augsburger Tafelconfect
Fusion in Slaughterhaus (Nneon)
Once upon a time, a canoe crashed into the control tower at Hamburg International Airport. Out came a sluggish mass followed by a milksop. With a mouthful of sludge and a mindful of mixed objectives, it hastily made its way through the light shrubbery of the airport runway towards center city . In its rashness avoiding the Paparazzi of Hamburg's local poo rags, a discharge of dross left the blob. Impurities withdrawn from visionary clarity , apathy separated from hopes for the future. The mass and milksop transformed into a spinning centrifuge, from which the very elements were extracted back to their simplest form in a shower of blazing colors. It managed to escape. A few years later in October 2002, Jyrgen Hall [laptop and painting programs] and Sebastian Reier (volcano guitar and utensils) became caught up in a dispute over a praline and as a result, were both severely clobbered. The remaining clump called itself Augsburger T afelconfect . How fitting - a name that suggests a harmless assortment of chocolates without any indication whatsoever to the fact, that under the watch of this very confectionery , an act of violence took place. The clod, Reier/Hall, soon knew how to make the best out of its newly formed collective pile. The tight homo-erotic formation felt good. The chemistry was just right.
Hall, also known as that girl-swinging electroubadour , Gunter Adler , started to make virtual plug connections (but not only) in his modular synthesizers [similarly , but not only] that transformed the control data for digital information into uneasy , polyrhythmic, pretty-as-a-summer-rain staccati. Thusly , he created an array of synchronised switch arrangements, that aesthetically stylizes, in the way of György Ligeti, a number of clocks ticking at dif ferent speeds. After becoming a living switchboard and a stray commuter between possibilities, he decided to strengthen and praise this current state of indecision as a symbol of microscopic life. Hall knew: rest and tranquility are an illusion and underneath lies the rustle of microbes, the screams of the pending, and the crossing of the Rubicon. Foolhardy in his undergarment collection grubbing, he machined the restless guitarplay of Sebastian Reier with this aesthetic. The dance has begun.
Not too long ago, Sebastian Reier , seam-bursting ideasmith and jabberwonder , brought in a breath of fresh air to publisher drone ST ORA, a static, yet with-good-intentions unsurpassed artist shanty that took it upon itself to lead the Cr?me de la Cr?me of the new electronic scene into the golden age. Reier's communication skills were soon demonstrated through his ability to forge the calculated collapse of his unusual guitar sounds, willfully resembling that of Märklin- W aggons destroyed, with the palsied excitement of Jyrgen Hall's digital chain reactions. Rubbing, scrubbing, drubbing and long explosions are Sebastian Reier's specialties. The absence of sedated delays lifts his sound above any post-industrial incense of the early 90's. Here prevails the present, where improvised intervals react with the partner at breakneck speeds, even in the dark.
Confection under Nneon lights Now our lucky alliance, in the meanwhile a trio [baronesseA - videos], has released their first record on their own label, Nneon. Far from prolixity , fusion in the slaughterhaus presents with cinematic charm, an array of short musical anecdotes that get right to the point. The result are pieces that more resemble the aphoristic works of John Zorn than that of electronic/acoustic music, even though the instrumentation is that of the latter . Crashes and angry , aggressive passages alternate with almost romantic overlaps of field recordings. Sounds vary in many timbres and an occasional transient rhythm loop is no exception. Noteworthy is the element of melody inherent in many of the pieces in transfigured form. The song lengths are like pop songs. Some are like titles or jokes turned into music. Ever so seldom do the works of a so-called experimental release have so much character and identity . Rarely does the marriage between an improvised moment and a prearranged cut montage deliver the goodies. The Augsburger T afelconfect of fers not so much sound design, rather more listening art. And if this expression is just as vague - a harmonious assortment of short Super8 audio films by which the projector occasionally falls from the shelf and the film gets tangled. ÑFelix Kubin [translated by Douglas Patton] Slaughterhaus - der Film
Das Augsburger T afelconfect - An audio-visual trio . At A TC concerts, Livia v . Seld, aka baronesseA, presents delightful films told in reverse and loops. As a result, the viewers become castaways on the sea of animation and watch the film sequences to the music. baronesseA achieves a perfect environment for the music and makes up the third eye of Augsburger T afelconfect.

Le Chevalier De Rinchy Mes Plus Belles Chansons D'Amour (Le vilain chien)
Now for the oddest and potentially most offputting record of the playlist...
the new 7" by Le Chevalier de Rinchy. Taken in five-second doses, there's nothing
too alienating about it unless you are one of those flag-wavin' idiot Americans
who still orders freedom fries with their burger. But this contrapunctal baroque
tickle-punk alternately flits, minuets, and waltzes out of a different musical
keepsake box every five seconds! It's so decidedly fractured and bizarre,
so very French, and sucking helium and laughing gas. I LOVE IT! But no one
will be lukewarm about this one. Caveat emptor!

Die Christmaskamaraden ChristmasTime (Meeauw Muzak)
die christmaskameraden are jonathan meese and tim berresheim, both well-known visual artists from germany. meese has a wide fascination for anything from wagner to stalin, and ezra pound to rasputin. on this 7" they play synth, glockenspiel and sing about father christmas and even have a sort of disco rhythm on the second side, which could be seen as the extended dance remix. 'we are father christmas, you are father christmas' they sing. after the rlw and tietchens, this is certainly much more weirder and way-out then those and is a most curious record indeed. play this for your family on boxing day and disapproval will be your share.

Le Club Des Chats Pump Up The Seed (Le Vilain Chien)
Whoa, what the fuck? French outfit that popped up on the recent S-S comp Tete de Bebe lets fly with a five-song single, channeling the kind of stiff, precise mania that made bands like Delta 5, LiliPUT, and Essential Logic great, but with the frenetic drive and intensity of, say, Erase Errata or the Ex. Le Club is a trio with co-ed vocals and virtually no desire to rock in any way, shape or form; instead, they prance about in a fantasy world of cats, dogs, onomatopoeia and truly bent ideas. So weird it almost ends up in Residents territory, but punked out enough to rescue it from nominal interest (can’t say the same for Les Georges Leningrad, which this walks all over). So great, such a strange little record, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Teenage outcast girls with short hair, in particular, should pay attention. I love France! Headbutt!

Dondolo Dondolisme (La Bulle Sonore)
Dondolo, de son vrai nom Romain Guerret, pratique une pop cyclothymique, fortement contrastée, passant de brûlots pop-punk hurlés à des comptines électro-pop mélancoliques et ludiques. Chantés aussi bien en Anglais qu’en Français, ces morceaux sont un mélange (une collision ?) d’influences disparates a priori incompatibles (des Buzzcocks à Christophe, en passant par Jacno et Hot Chip…). Pourtant, en équilibriste hors pair, il réussit à faire ce grand écart en retombant sur ses pattes, grâce à une science de l’accroche pop hors norme.

Cacelorazo (Ego Twister)
"ladies and gentleman step into the noisy arena of [guÿôm]'s crazy sound circus... althought the opening track title seems to be a prayer to the calmness, "Digital rock'n roll (1954)" leads you to a deviant dancefloor and makes your head swing to the distorted lead sound and the driving beat. So are "Cart(o)on" and "Anxiously happy" : Donald Duck gives a fuck, because he loves to listen to weirdo beats, dancing even when the walls come down and although the siren howls every night. The party then become a little bit more scary... experimental beats chasing your brain, anticapitalist breakcore mess, [guÿôm] plays with noise until your nose bleeds. "Cacelorazo" invites Elvis to skake his hips to intelligent Industrial, recreates acid without any cheesy retro sound, and gives us just enough musical breaks so we can catch some air."

Sum (Pneu)
"Brilliant new wave influenced dark minimal elektro. Sung in German and French with a poetic touch. Original sounding with an authentic feeling !"
"Dans les eaux troubles nage un étrange duo de petits poissons à la recherche des strates de courant qui les mènent au bon plancton. Dans ces eaux opaques des messages électriques crépitent le long de leur ligne latérale et les guident vers ces étincelles réconfortantes que sont les autres petits poissons qui a leur tour font des arabesques dans les eaux sombres. Après, comme la tête leur tourne un peu, ils se mettent à raconter des choses à propos de l’élément dans lequel ils flottent, ils racontent le danger de se faire maltraiter par les plus gros poissons, ils racontent leur confusions et leurs malheurs, leurs carences mais aussi la douceur de leurs rencontres, de leurs échanges et la chaleur des eaux profondes ou ils glissent furtivement à l’abri des grosses machines qui écrasent tout.
Les petits poissons électriques vous proposent quatre chansons où vous retrouverez leurs impressions de l’élément qui les entoure. Pour que d’autres poissons frétillent et envoient de nouveaux messages électriques à travers les eaux troubles."

Jack The Rapper Dutroux Rap (Meeuw Muzak)
Apperentely Jack The Rapper is a sixty some year old guy from
Antwerpen, Belgium, who produced a rather sick record under the name
'Dutroux Rap'. I assume the name Dutroux doesn't need much
explanation. On the a-side, called 'L'Etat', there is the sound of
crying babies and a monotone rhythm over which there is some of
French rap, hard to understand I guess even when French is a language
one masters. The b-side 'Le Trou' is a mere instrumental remix of the
a-side, but now without vocals. Good? Bad? I don't know. I kept on
thinking: where in God's name does Mister Meeuw find people like Jack
The Rapper? Just a question as hard to answer as wether I like this
record or not. File under: sick.

Imago (Solnze)
Music on this CD is composed for the MkHAT play IMAGO, written by Maxim Kurochkin with help from Bernard Shaw (it's based on Pygmalion) and directed by Nina Chusova. It's pretty much the usual Oleg Kostrow fare, slightly jazzy, somewhat funny, a bit childish, generally light kind of music. As much as 19 short and sweet tracks, mostly instrumental, mostly combining the nostalgic feel with contemporary technologiesÊ (like that bit where Be same mucho is croaked by a computer).

Felix Kubin Antarktis Slow Rock (Meeuw Muzak)
"this was the first release, in 1997 by a man named felix kubin, before stepping into the world of fame. so riding on this fame it's been re-issued with a new mix of the original b-side. the a-side is indeed a slow, rock-rhythm box pieces, with nicely humming organ lines, a sweet little melody. a quasi eastern-europe feel comes to live in the form of wind blowing over the tundra. and tundra's shaking ahead on the flipside, via a casio rhythm and a more up-tempo song. here to similar eastern europe feelings float by, in what is a very joyful and up-tempo song."

Miss Libido 2000 (Solnze)
Embracing elements of decadent capitalism that even most Westerners would shy away from, zany Russian lounge mutants Oleg Kostrow and Oleg Gitarkin (who in one form or another are responsible for all of these aliases) play
twangy sci-fi music for people who know that the future actually happened over 40 years ago,was scripted by Ed Wood and illustrated by Eric Stanton while Criswell and the faltering ghost of Bela Lugosi looked on.
Rediscover the Power of the Omni analogue synth,The Man from Planet X and peppy little pop numbers with titles like "The second Advent of Elvis", "The Pornoman","Cannibal Twist" and "Go,Satan,Go!".Above all, marvel at what sounds like Sampled dialogue taken from, say it ain't so, actual Soviet B movies.

Messer Für Frau Muller
Allo, Superman ! (Solnze)
Messer fur Frau Muller is Oleg Gitarkin and Oleg Kostrov - two very interesting and innovative musicians from St. Petersburg. Their music draws on sounds and samples which range from bits of spoken word to operatic vocal snippets to cartoon music, all layered over varying melodies. The word that best describes it would probably be "quirky", but that doesn't even come close to describing the wonderful style of musical strangeness found on this CD.
"Iris 'Kiss Kiss'" basically consists of people meowing and laughing over a background of upbeat cartoon music and sounds. "Cat's Felix First Fix!" (yes, that's really the title) has got to have the strangest mix of samples and music that I've heard in a long time. Salute, Adieu!" sounds like Angelo Badalamenti on happy pills. And it just gets better - and stranger!
I could go on and on about the music, but it's next to impossible to describe what it really sounds like - this is one CD that you just have to hear for yourselves!
I don't know if there are plans for a wider release of the group's CDs (they also have a second CD on this label) but I certainly hope so. Messer fur Frau Muller sounds completely different from anything else you've ever heard, and their music is well worth seeking out.

Messer Für Frau Muller
Second Hand Dreams (Solnze)
Like the missing link between cocktail music and drum 'n' bass, or between Carl Stalling and Manu Chao, Saint Petersburg duo Messer fur Frau Muller (Knife for Frau Muller) makes madcap cartoon music, the kind that might be played on a merry-go-round on Mars. It has a strong beat (even if it does sound suspiciously like electronic flatulence), horns straight out of Raymond Scott, and loads of space-age sound effects. It's music for surfing spies, for bugs banging bongos on the beach, for cartoon coyotes constructing the trap that will get rid of the roadrunner for good - this time for sure. Highly recommended.

Printed Circuit
The Adventure Game (Catmobile)
"In the past four years, Claire Broadley has recorded for Irritant, Tigerbeat6 and 555, played live with Kid 606, Chicks On Speed, Le Tigre, Cex and Manitoba, and invited the varied cream of the underground electronic scene to remix her tracks on the 2001 CD 'Reprints'. Her music was recently described as "the logical outcome of Commodore 64s being force-fed down USB cables", and her first full-length, 'The Adventure Game', demonstrates that theory perfectly.
Despite the cautious tones of opener 'Paws', the album almost immediately explodes into the vibrant, technicolour electro-pop of 'Semaphore On The Dancefloor'. It's the Printed Circuit ethic condensed into one song; crafted melodies leading exciting electronic music that can be both intelligent and fun.
This ethic is realised throughout the rest of the album in its many disparate styles, from the tentative beginnings of motorik sensation 'Colacubic' through to the pulsing, rhythmic tones of 'Accent, Voice And Data' and the furious beat-frenzy of album finale 'Binary Jockeys'. Printed Circuit makes a point of only extracting the best from each one, and her love of the three-minute pop song helps keep the wolves of gratuitous indulgence from the door. Alice Kain of London anti-art/ experimental duo Brikolage provides human vocals to 'Switch It On', already garnering praise from dancefloors and DJs. If 'The Adventure Game' were a cake, 'Switch It On' would surely be the cherry on top.
Everything about 'The Adventure Game' has been painstakingly crafted. Amongst a genre that throws out a vast volume of work every year, you should know that when a Printed Circuit record is made, the music is always imbued with love, attention, optimism, blood, sweat and beats. It's electronic, but truly human in its emotion."

Puyo Puyo A Novel Trick Item (Gagarin)
Synthetic infantile-feebile-minded insanity in a cube - cheesy
LoFi-Trash goes Kindergeburtstag and the Plastikroboter drink Sake.
Inevitably my thoughts lead to Nobukazu Takemura.
In school he was probably a annoying egghead in
the first row, while the Puyo puyos were sniffing
glue.

Puyo Puyo is also a band member of Les Robots Musiques.

Retro Sex Galaxy Zajmujaca Fizyka (Gagarin)
Poland's mik.musik agent wojt3k kucharczyk bugged his robotron family. "entertaining physics" is a poetic and secretful electroacoustic work that sounds like a gathering of digital clocks in the waiting room of an abandoned building. mechanical ants are crawling over piles of paper next to protesting copy machines and sadly shaking faxes. quiet industrial diseases spread in the attic and the doors clap in a-synchronicity. in between, interplanetary melodies are humming in retired telephones. all 14 tracks of this record are dedicated to physical phenomena. rythms and sounds collaps and re-construct themselves in a constant modus of transformation and self-reflection.

Sun Plexus
Mais d'où viennent tous ces Chinois ? (Anti-Matière)
Self- proclaimed inventors of 'anal-core', Gallic rockers Sun Plexus hate California and nuclear energy. Which is obviously why their latest release is dedicated to the savage splendours of sun worship and all its dazzling cultural facets. Fans of punky drum machine thrashers Metal Urbain, Sun Plexus also have the muscle, as well as the foot pedals, to make an unwholesomely nasty sound. What makes them particularly scary, however, is the adept way they use silence and emptiness to build up the threat. Meanwhile the jarring dynamics whipped up on track like "Amityville" take care of the rest.

Sun Plexus
Or ou Ferraille ? A quelle Profondeur ? (Ronda)
Depuis plus de 10 ans, Sun Plexus développe ses originaux travaux sonores sous de multiples facettes : concert no-punk, primitifs et décadents, bandes sonores pour films expérimentaux, performances déstabilisantes, voire inquiétantes, musique concrète, installations, collaborations diverses … Les membres de Sun Plexus n’ont aucune ligne de conduite et s’amusent volontiers à brouiller les pistes.
Il en va de même pour leurs production discographique : des disques OVNI au design très soigné et dont l’écoute peut parfois sembler énigmatique ou être une véritable casse-tête chinois pour l’auditeur.
La musique de Sun Plexus se nourrit du magma musical du 20eme siècle et se jette dans le 21e avec un rock étrange et complexe, entraînant l’auditeur à travers un labyrinthe de pistes sonores sous formes d’autoroutes 4 voies, de marécages les nuits de pleine lune, de champs de bataille au petit matin ou de missions scientifiques en apesanteur.
Entre un bruitisme acharné et des compositions réfléchies, Sun Plexus revendique une recherche musicale perpétuelle dans des univers incertains, douteux et jubilatoires, gravitant à des milliards de km des règles imposées.

Tante Felipé
Commence Par Maman (self produced)
Certains disent que Tante Félipé existe depuis les années 50, écumant salles des fêtes, maisons de retraite et stations thermales, rejouant sans cesse les œuvres de Jean-René Mouchabol. D’autres disent que non, c’est juste un groupe de rock de chambre sans guitare avec de chouettes instruments, noyant free-rock et noise klezmerisée.

Ik Was (Pneu)
Tribute to 'ich bin' with kania tieffer against the machine, everybody's jabitudiliki, rhin, dj athome, volapuk, d. trp et les 2a bananas, turbocaine, uwzin
"Ik Was is a tribute to the elektro band Ich Bin (release : We came to reign, earlier on Pneu). Eight totally different artists contributed a track to his cd.
The opening tracks is a crazy lo-fi electronic pop track by Kania Tieffer. Despite its broken structure, the track is very addictive. It is also one of the best tracks on this compilation. Darker and harsher is RHIN. Their track sounds more like the Ich Bin sound. It is a good pounding track for the dancefloor without being a slick dance tune.
Less serious is the contribution of Volapük. The sound of Lalala spring to mind when listening to this track, as well as that of a traditional chanson. Another highlight.
Pneu delivers a nice and at times strange new release. The professional cd-r looks and sounds great. Even better than most "real" cd’s that are released today. One to keep an eye for out."

Party Ruiners (Ego Twister)
Never enough of party ruiners or savers, right. This vinyl compilation brings together few like-minded artists who have been around the label Ego Twister since it's beginning in 2004 in Angers, France. Most (or all?) of the artists are a part of the vital French scene of new and sometimes screwed-up electronics, often playing with notions of good and bad taste. Les Robots Musique (that's Puyo Puyo and Rod Droïd), Debmaster, Amnésie, Yvan + Lendl, Vernon LeNoir, [guÿôm], ladyatone and Ergo Phizmiz - they all sound similar to each other, a mish-mash of 8-bit Peoples ideas and aesthetics (which will certainly appeal to fans of the games Bubble Bobble, Wonder Boy and such, as I am) and, of course, a healthy dose of break and hardcore. In a spirit close to their Parisian friends O.Lamm, Hypo and others from the labels Active Suspension and Clapping Music, or as their worldwide friends Kid606 and Venetian Snares. Should be enough to ruin your party, or save it if it's becoming too
conventional for your taste. Vive la France!

Various Artists - Idiosyncratics Idioscapes (Idiosyncratics)
"The idea was to ask some of our favourite sound artists to take part in a compilation . . . and, to our surprise, they accepted. The only concept was that they had to provide a specific / particular / idiosyncratic piece. qualified as a “drone paradise” by lasse marhaug (of jazkamer), the result is a fine and coherent whole, full of extended textures, contrasted acoustic surfaces, subtle and strong.
Idioscapes contains 70 minutes of authentic acoustic researches, with glitches, loops, noises, deep and glittering textures, subliminal frequences and narrative inserts, punctured with sensible musical moments. Idiosyncratics is honoured to present these sound masters on idioscapes.
infinite thanks to all of them." y.f.

We Vs Death / Tom Sweetlove (split)
The Message is (Zabel / Matamore)
'The Message Is' scelle la rencontre entre deux groupes instrumentaux et 'militants' à leur manière: les Hollandais de We vs. Death et les Belges de Tom Sweetlove (aujourd'hui Some Tweetlove). Tandis que We vs Death propose un math-rock jouissif et nerveux réhaussé par l'apport d'une trompette, Tom Sweetlove calme le jeu avec une slow-pop content/plaintive et mélancolique du meilleur acabit.

Tom Sweetlove is now called Some Tweetlove
