What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Phil feeling happy.



Also on the Dirty Demos label is a CD by Kasper Van Hoek: 'Den Haag/Groningen/Froombosch' which is 6 tracks of field recordings which are named after the streets they were recorded in. It's all quite fuzzy and distorted and it's not an easy listen by any stretch of the means. Tonal crackles and whizzles aplenty, it's like being the piece of liquorice that's being sucked post sherbert fountain. Albeit with plenty of droning rubarb and custards floating by and some disturbing chocolate cigarettes to scare you with. An engaging release if you can work out what the wangchung I'm on about. Limited to 50 copies. Whacka whacka.

What the label says:

1 Gedempte Zuiderdiep/Tellegenstraat
2 Hoofdweg/Deliplein
3 Hofstraat/Waagplein
4 Kalvermarkt/Spui
5 Gedempte Zuiderdiep
6 Oosterstraat
 

6 tracks which are more or less based on field-recordings and are named after the street addresses they where recorded.

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
