12" / Bang
Goes / Bruchstuecke
The music has odd sounds and lots going on in each song. One song has
a sound like a cricket chirping. I think this is an intentional touch
to enhance the warped island feel created by what sounds like treated
kettle drums.

CD
/ Margo Guryan / 25 Demos / Franklin Castle
I don't think you have to be in the know (anymore) to have heard about
Margo Guryan or to appreciate her many talents and her unique charm.
I'm sure that fans of everything from the Monkees to the Gentle Waves
and Belle and Sebastian may have heard about her and would appreciate
her.

/ HOWIE B / Folk / Polydor
This is soul without the pump of adrenaline, it is a street beat for
the laid back cat watching it all go down from the shade.

2XCD
/ Plunderphonics / Seeland
What is it they did? I can't really tell. They ... played with music.
It's not sampling, as we've come to know it. It's hardly remixing. They
basically take a peice of pre-recorded music. A Doors song. A Dolly Parton
song. "The Girl from Impanema"-and f*#% with it.

12" / T.
Raumschmiere / Musick / Kompakt
T. Raumschiere is radical stuff indeed. You have to leave your old
school sensibilities at the door when putting on a track from him.

12" /
various / V.A. Zero / Sender Records
4 song EP with each song grooved alone - you have to manually pick
up the stylus and place the needle in the second set of grooves to start
the second song on each side. T.Raumschmiere's "Knisterpop" (B1)
is the reason I bought this.
