releases... review... Recorded in 1983, but only
released this year, this tape contains music realised almost entirely on PPG
synths. On Orakel Rudi Haunreiter and Stephan Manus from the FORGOTTEN ENEMY
EP feature on drums and violin respectively. This tape is however, nothing
like that, his previous release, due in some part to the dumping of
Frohmader's lethal bass, but also to a much more complex approach to the
structure of each piece, and indeed to the sounds themselves. After an initial
rejection (due to a hangover) I find myself putting this tape on almost
constantly. This is not easy listening by any means, but eventually much more
rewarding than many more immediate recordings due to its depth. I'll not attempt to describe the music itself (which would
probably be a great disservice) except to say that I listened to this without
checking the packaging and found that Gigeresque images (Giger of
"Alien" fame) were being suggested by the music. On opening the
insert I found a photograph of Frohmader. Taken by?. . .H.R. Giger himself! by Chris Bywater in Audion #1, page 6 (June 1986)
