"Bell are Dan Crouch and Adrian Stephens. Nope; I've never heard
of them either. But what I HAVE heard is this great CD 'Numbers'. The
sound is very similar to the Bpitch Control band Smash TV. This is music
that the robots of Servotron would listen to while lounging in an oil
bath. Like Smash TV, this music does not sound like humans making robot
music, it sounds like robots making robot music.".

"Every time I put on a new Billy Childish release for the first
time I wonder whether it will rip me off my seat with casual genius or
lose me by sounding like a recording from a rehearsal in a garage. Lately
The Buff Medways have been doing both, with genius recordings that sound
like they ARE recorded in a rehearsal space."

"This is effortless pop with wispy vocals and balanced arrangements.
If you like gently played tunes that stay in your head long after the
disc is over, this is for you. They have subtle lyrical twists that remind
you of nascent friendships and relationships, of people to stay away from,
and that bring out your inner loner."

"The cover photo shows Astaqué jamming with Duke Ellington
(around ’72) when Ellington was exploring African music heavily and
no question Duke who knew who to check in with. Having heard several other
volumes in this series, highlighting very different music than this disc,
it is becoming evident to me at least, that this series is well worth
in depth investigation."

"Outta' Town Outer Space is a tribute to The West Coast Pop Art
Experimental Band with 6 covers versions of songs by The West Coast Pop
Art Experimental Band performed by modern English pastoral psyche bands.
The big name on the 10" is The Clientele, though all the artists
put in pretty fine cuts."

"With
most of the provocative music of today progenating from a consciousness
of the past, it always enthralling to be blown away by something from left
field. The first three songs shift from game-show sounding sound-bites,
lo-fi soul, to Raw Power riffage underneath dissonant electro-noodling in
the 10+ minute mark."

"A Rather Interesting Mix is a remix project by Burnt Friedman
(using an alias of sorts, the Replicant Rumba Rockers) of a bunch of aliases
for Atom ™ including Señor Coconut, Erik Satin, Los Samplers,
Midisport, Silver Sound, Dropshadow Disease, The Roger Tubesound Ensemble,
and Ondas. I had high hopes for this disc and I hate to say it but I was
pretty disappointed"
