WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED THAN A RECORDER? (CDR AMBOLT-13)
A title explaining it all: what more do you need than a recorder?
Right, to be a musician, nothing much more really than a tape
recorder. At least that's of course if you don't like a guitar
and field recordings. All of the people on this fully loaded compilation
have a recording device, some of them are mentioned on the liner
notes: minidisc, dictaphone, DAT, binaural microphones and even
a mobile phone. In all twenty tracks no additional processing
is used. What I like about this compilation is the amount of new
kids on the block like Joshua Manchester, Martin Clarke, Eldad
Tsabary, Aatmaa and Ieva and also that some of the people that
we only know through their music, such as Mystified, Swamps Up
Nostrils and Torsten Wjiik bring something that is unaltered.
It's a very nice and varied compilation. Some of the pieces could
have easily been on 'Rhythm' (see last week), but the briefness
of the tracks and the clarification in the liner notes make this
a highly interesting compilation. Also included are HarS, Lasse-Marc
Riek, Chris DeLaurenti, Bjerga/Iversen, Brekekekexkoaxkoax and
Rinus van Alebeek. And at times as noisy as the usual releases
on this label (which are in the hands of Jliat), in case you have
any doubt about that. (FdW)
