Harmonia: Live 1974

harmonia live 1974Live recording from my favourite Krautrock (super)group. Consisting of members of Neu/Kraftwerk/Cluster here is a great document of a short lived band (1973-76) who influence remains today in contemporary bands such as Religious Knives and Sunroof! (Matthew Bower has acknowledged in interviews, the influence on his album "Cloudz") and nestles smoothly along French prog jammer Heldon and also "No Pussyfooting" era Eno (who joined the band towards the end). For the unitiated check out their other records "Deluxe" and "Musik Von" "Tracks and Traces". Searing dual guitar/synth over old drum machines at once bedroom primitive and collossal psychedelic mind river cruising. Why the hell their influence is strong abroad but lost in Berlin baffles me. I mean sure, I hear it in the techno scene, but where are the fucking psychedelic jammers in Berlin? Any leads feel free to email me :: Harmonia/Live 1974 - (Groenland/Cargo).

MOUTHUS

Best of the recent Our Mouth stuff is the first Sullivan solo CD-R. Sullivan's comes under the name Eskimo King, and /Tooth-Shaped Migration/ is five thick, detailed chunks of sound spread over a quick 17 minutes. What I dig most about Sullivan is his wide-open outlook on what sounds are worth making. Mouthus may concoct a lot of deep, textured noise, but they also use acoustic guitar loops, dirgey metal-like stomps, polyrhtyhmic meditations, busted rock riffs, and tons more.

„Nein, nein, kein Soundtrack! Wir kombinieren nur die Stücke auf unseren Alben - wir schneiden erstmal alles auf Band mit, um dann, vielleicht Monate später, zu sagen: Oh, das hier passt ja thematisch zu diesem Stück und auch zu jenem. Oder: Dieses Stück würden zu jenen Anderen passen, wäre es nicht so grottenschlecht. Also: Trash it.” Brian Sullivan/HE Interview
