MIDWICH - Every Day Is the Same (Fencing Flatworm; England)
Really super stuff from unpretentious experimenter Rob Hayler, from Leeds,
UK. Check track 2 for its intense (absurd?) use of dynamics: Will your right
speaker crack apart before you can get acquainted with the wheezy little
creature on the left? Motor begins and all is lost as that low rumble gets
you to dancin' upside your outside. Then the ants come in. After all that
crumble is an electronic jaunt with smiley-space
robots boomin' about. Finally, things melt--yeah, after all that wheezin'
and anglin' and boomin'--yes, mmm beddy-dye.

Midwich - Every Day Is The Same

this label has a thing about fish. 1 is a brief electronic shower. 2 is a thud that gets overtaken by a much-faster thud. 3 is random undersea fish-screams down the cable that connects you to your future-murderer in Australia. Those are three shortish tracks all leading to the BIG ONE - 4th Track is the final one on this brief CD, it's very quiet and very quiet and very quiet and very quiet with a crawl over a spumey shingle on a northern iced-ip beach in winter. Midwich is a brave young man, he gives you so little but is the PERFECT AMOUNT
