Comment: it is a release by the Mushrooms In Our Shoes, the Czech Republic based duo whose music is improvised on such musical (non)-instruments as guitars, keyboards, metal, sheets, percussion. This bunch of 10 tracks is a part of the discography of an imprint called CS Industrial 1982-2010. It is a Czech and Slovak industrial scene documentation project. Focusing on noise and industrial-related music coming out of the aforementioned years. More profoundly, it is recorded while two musicians called David Urban and Jan Benedict Nosek decided to make music. They did close in an apartment, which was turned into a home studio. Within just a couple of days of playing, recording, mixing, they had spawned ten compositions. Emotively one can hear lethargic incantations and truly rapturous, freaked-out outbursts and snippets. Because of that I guess the duo has spent the interesting time span in the studio. In fact, not only a final result but the creative process of it is as important. At times it chimes like a pedigree of (electro)-acoustic, improvised and electronic music. And the drumming provides mostly tribal connotations. It is fairly cohesive and intrinsically burning. It was initially released in 1987 by Eastmush Records.

Comment: at the first glance, this issue embraces a couple of lengthy compositions, one of them is 27-minute and the other side is 31-minute long. A windy and rainy Sunday for nice listening, isn't. In fact, the two blocks are divided into many tracks. The US-born artist's 58 minutes is a vivid excursion based on a galvanised, needle studded electric guitar full of lasting riffs and heavy twangs to be resulted in psychedelic maelstroms and lysergic incantations. By its timbre, reverberant echoes and spiritual touch it chimes like an underground artist or combo out of the beginning of the 70s by loaning something from Zappa, Captain Beefheart, and acid folk artists. Indeed, it is an obvious virtue to reach such sort of sound. And of course, the artist's gritty timbre and expressive singing manner is worth on their own by conjuring up a bit spooky ambience. The aforementioned main course is interwoven with spoken word snippets, "accidental" sounds and something singular else. There is one ditty about an uncanny snowman. It is an unusual and solid songwriter outing. Thanks to Don Campau and his headed The Living Archive of Underground Music it was recently made available for a wider audience (initially in 1987). In a word, come and see.
