This seems for some reason to be a particular problem with dodgy Goth cover bands taking apart their Eighties heroes, with all the panache of a pub-rock band in full boozy flight. The negative thing about tribute albums is that they can be an outlet for a bunch of otherwise unknown bands and artists to get some attention by producing variable-quality interpretations of their influences’ music. Various – At The Threshold Moment – A Tribute To Coil Nigel Ayers‘ field recording of shamanic songs of Yemani upon installation of telephone equipment – to bring good luck – are particularly illuminating. Others hold a particular inquisitiveness and fascination with the human voice, and about the telephonic medium at large. Some of the contributions from the European contingent share a fascination with American evangelical speakers and Jack Chick-level Christianity. It’s a great collection of sounds with which one can hector the answering machines of friends and enemies alike. One of the best compilations ever, I guaran-f’ing-tee it. Needless to say that you have to translate the text in your language!”Īnd that’s precisely what is. And the fourth part is something special… This booklet contains a lot of texts for those who practise karajoke for their machines.

(How many times can Big Black be safely mentioned in one month of reviewing?) It’s a drone Rock epic that’s been dragged kicking and screaming though a playground full of broken glass. “ Telstar Recovery” is Hawkwind for the post- Big Black epoch.
Cristian Vogel’s latest single “ Whipaspank” is a curious and wonderful chunk of techno.Įchoboy are one of the revelations for me. Goldfrapp’s “Utopia” is generally pretty epic track with lots of big synths.Īdd N To (X) and Luke Slater provide moments of cute and groovesome Electro with “ Plug Me In” and “ All Exhale (Electropunk Mix)” respectively. Beneath it all the tune is still driven by a Synth Pop heart. “Freedom” is boppy House number with sprinklings of Kraftwerk-y vocals. Erasure are back with their first single in three years. That’s a pretty varied mix, better than many compilations for sale. You won’t find it in the shops, unless you work in the shops.Ģ000.3 has new releases from Erasure, Goldfrapp, Add N To (X), Cristian Vogel, Echoboy, Holger Hiller, Foil, Luke Slater, and Recoil.
