review...
Clothearz - PLIPSQUEAK (Poultry Productions PP 4) MC
Our Poultry Yorkshire friends are back again! Collaborating this time
(instead of having a side each, as with the last tape), Drake and Cloth have
come up with a tape that kind of fills the gap between synth music and Nurse
With Wound.
This is exceptionally good, very experimental music that manages to strike a
good balance between weirdness and accessibility, by using very few
"nasty" sounds and keeping the structure simple to avoid the
cluttered industrial effect. Instruments used include: guitar, synths, viola,
percussion, voice, often with effects such as echo. The resultant fourteen
musical episodes are quite difficult to describe (truly new-music always
presents such problems!) (that's why the term "innovative" was
coined - Ed.), hints of Conrad Schnitzler on some of the more synthesized
works, Ron Geesin in the guitar and some of the more outrageous voice parts,
Bruce Gilbert in the use of looping effects, and Peter Frohmader - especially
on the closing Viola Diabola, which is almost a direct musical dedication.
The only (minor) fault with the album is that the production/editing could
have been done better (web note: repaired with this reissue!), otherwise - a
very enjoyable tape that should please virtually anyone with a liking for the
unusual.
