Eruption

Released

These guys recorded four albums in one year? And my favorite may be this, a complete boneshock of true wiggery. A chunk of it is very quiet, which suggests audiences in Germany were very respectful (an idea borne out by all the Beat Club footage of Can and Kraftwerk on YouTube now). This is music free of genre or form or style. These three just make the machines sing and howl and sulk. I’m a little sad this kind of bravery didn’t stick around a little longer. There are no concessions to anyone or anything here. True wasteland shit.
