tarwater, aka bernd jestram and ronald lippok, have been making music together for a while now, starting years ago in a punk band under the wary eye of the east german secret police. more recently, tarwater has effected a more subtle subversion, garnering praise for the album silur, which combines song structures with spoken-word fragments and sub-aquatic electronics. most of the mixes on the remix ep were sourced from silur. their 2000 release, the surreal, creepily ambient animals, suns, & atoms, picks up right where silur left off with its detached vocals (see "all of the ants left paris") and cool hypnotic loops.

along with fellow travelers mouse on mars, to rococo rot, and kreidler, tarwater is creating some of the most adventurous sounds to come out of germany since the heyday of krautrock.

crescent is the brainchild of one matt jones, whom few people have met in person. this album was recorded at his home on a reel-to-reel 8 track. jones also used a community hall down the road as a makeshift studio. crescent is part of the bristol underground that also spawned flying saucer attack, movietone, and amp. crescent also features members and ex-members of the above bands. sam jones played guitar in an early incarnation of flying saucer attack. matt jones played bass on the first amp album. both sam and matt are currently members of movietone, who have released critically lauded records on domino and drag city.

crescent plays extremely personal music that is post-everything, ranging from dubbed-out moonscapes to barely-there piano ballads to dissonant wall-of-noise clangor. so if your idea of fun includes listening to bands like this heat, bark psychosis, mark hollis/talk talk, keith hudson, joy division, early factory records, or nico, then, boy this is for you. crescent has previously released three records stateside on atavistic. collected songs is their first record in two years.

based in a post-industrial city in northeast france, double nelson play a unique brand of electronic avant-rock, blending live instruments with samples, loops and found sounds. fixtures in the european underground, double nelson have recorded a couple of well-received albums, scored a sci-fi film, and toured extensively, opening for boredoms, mecca normal, alex chilton, and mudhoney. most recently they finished a number of dates supporting stereolab. the music is hard to describe; try to imagine boris plank, pram, and tom waits engrossed in a game of pacman. tim gane of stereolab described them as "a shuddering dislocation of geiger counter and the gurgling pulse of jelly. origin unknown."
