A collection
of recordings made over a three year period of time. Some
of the pieces based on initial improvisations on guitar,
drums and piano/keyboard. Composed and played mostly by
Sam Callow with aditional drums on certain tracks by Rob
Chidell.With violent shifts in time signatures and chunky
grooves, these recordings are a must for fans of
out-rock/fun-core. Tracks feature voice, piano, guitars,
drums, melodica, casio, vibraphone (casio), TV, tape
manipulation, percussion, kitchen sink...... 15 tracks,41:48 mins |
 |
Selected
recordings culled from tapes dating back to 1995 and
beyond. At times quite harsh, at times playful, at times
easy listening and at times..... METALL!! There is a cut
`n` paste feel to some tracks : "Early Years
Medley" crams three 45 minute tapes of very early
recordings in to a few minutes. With 30-odd tracks
ranging from cartoon music, to rock/noise, chill-out, to
badJazz, No.2 is a bracing yet highly entertaining
experience. 32 tracks, 69:39 mins |

More of an
ambient/electronic approach to the first tracks on No.3.
The 4 track was used as the source for sounds then
carried on to the computer and abused by a free demo of
Wave Lab. Sound sources include crinckled cassette tape,
Casio drum sounds, needles on records and rudimentary
effects boxes. The remainder of the CD (by contrast) is a
selection of cover versions. Phil Collins`s "Easy
Lover" gets semi-trashed (although it gets kind of
funky and is wierdly satisfying). Also John Fahey done in
a barber shop style, Michael Jackson on helium, and (of
course) the Airwolf theme tune! which rocks out to
conclude. |

Further
recordings of the new millenium, this time taking a
newer approach using acoustic guitars, violins,
percussion, multi-layered harmonising and real-time piano
playing!. Sometimes reminiscent of the late Gastr del Sol
doing a kind of wierd alien folk-music that ebs and
flows.....and ebs..then rocks out, just
when you least expect
it. see
