Comment:
this is a weird issue of a sort of distorted music. Indeed, this kind
involves previously created music and snippets of speeches to be
destructed and warped due to fine glitches, scratchy radio waves,
microscopic noises, something which could frequently be denoted as
domestic noise. For instance, Holger Czukay by CAN was one of the
pioneers by using radio waves as a music component. In comparison to
the krautrock legend Cage Cabarrett`s work is sonically more incisive
and shrill being remarkably more close to noise and (post-)industrial
music. However, the title of this 4-track issue hints more closely at
BBC Radiophonic Workshop, and in fact, having aesthetically very
close similarities with this one. It used to undulate from silent,
dormant forms to more elemental outbursts thereof providing some
emotional impact. In a nutshell, it is a very intriguing one while
preserving its consistency. The issue is a part of the discography of
the Portuguese imprint XS Records.
