Damned some weeks ago we had Tortoise play here and opening was -
unfortunately - The Sea And Cake. I wish it had been Kevin Drumm. He could
have saved my night... Tortoise were quite boring too... Glad i was on the
guest list...

TENNIS : europe on horseback [bleep 03]
Europe on Horseback, as its title suggests, is a relaxed voyage. The rhythms
slowly draw you into a cushioned saddle and an electronic trot then begins,
taking us through fields of bubble bass, valleys of sonic glitches, and
mountains blooming with digitalia. Not quite as minimal as Pole but just as
deep. They never break into a gallop, conserving energy rather than letting
it run wild. This record is a form of deconstructed dub / house which avoids
4/4 time at every corner creating a relaxed, challenging and accessible
electronica lined with interesting bass lines. A great full-length from
bip-hop stables.

SPACEHADS and MAX EASTLEY : the time of the ancient astronaut [bleep
04]____May 2001
A world of high opera and tipsy beats that then cascades with a metallic
pounding. Haunting trumpet melodies over soft drones and textures sets the
mood. The music takes on cinematic proportions as the terrain unfolds.
Interstellar landscapes are revealed.
MAX EASTLEY plays The Arc. A nine foot long mono chord. One string stretched
over wood and played with a bow or glass rods. The pitch is changed by
flexing the wood. The string can also be shortened with clips. It is then
fed into electronic effects.
The SPACEHEADS is a duo mixing trumpet and electronics with drums and
percussion. Plaintive trumpet calls are looped across pulsing beats that
propel us into sheets of metal crashing and vibrating through tiny pick ups
cranked to the full and then spun into electronic webs.
