| february 2012 release ; ... over the past few years i’ve been invited to travel to saint louis to play music more times than any other place on earth (well, outside of the boston area, i suppose) ... there’s an incredibly rich experimental music community that’s neither ageist nor insular (70’s icons like rich o’donnell are just as comfortable playing alongside younger noise-scene folks) & as such it’s something of a paradise for musical extremes of all stripes - largely fueled by a network of fantastic venues & alternative spaces (above-board, white-cube art galleries like the white flag projects & the luminary regularly host experimental music events put on by groups like the new music circle, as do more open-ended spots like kevin harris’ amazing floating labs & the lemp neighborhood arts center) ...
it’s no surprise then that with this bounty of enthusiasm & sympathetic real estate, a compilation of the scene’s best & brightest would have so much to offer (and i do mean much ; at 72 minutes if your face is still attached by the end, i’ll be impressed) ranging from gilded analogue blow-outs by kevin, joe raglani, regicide bureau, and dr. mabuse (there’s a long, storied history of stl diy electronics, from rich’s work through that of the 4ms guys, now relocated to austin) to the power electronics & improv of josh levi, chris smentowski, dave stone, and the rest ...
... comes as a pro-duped affair inside a proper, pro-printed j-card sandwiched in aside a giant fold-out screen-printed poster by jeremy “ghost ice” kannapell (whose music, somewhat infuriatingly, is not included on the tape itself) ... highly recommended !!! |
