Get in TouchMore Info
Rares Vinyl aus der Conspiracy-Subskription Serie im Siebdruck-Cover, das irgendwie nach Folk & Country klingt, das ganze wird aber collagiert und persifliert, gerät in unbeschreibliche found-sound Sprach-Collagen Gefilde und plötzlich sind da wilde Schlagzeugeinlagen und Rock-Zitate. Und so geht es immer weiter.... diese Platte schafft Dich!
Conspiracy Records aus Belgien haben zu dieser Platte einfach GAR NICHTS geschreiben, jetzt wissen wir warum !
"Contains some songs, some collage, 78rpm records, hillbilly acoustics, an ambient caveman number featuring Erin Sullivan from the mighty A Frames...and more... Released as part of Conspiracy Records' tenth anniversary 12-LP series, all pressed on heavy 180-gram vinyl and featuring hand-screened covers." [CGT-website]
"Climax Golden Twins is a Seattle, WA based experimental collage outfit originally consisting of Rob Millis and Jeffery Taylor, then picking up Scott Colburn in 1996, who later became their main producer/engineer . The group's earliest material was recorded in 1993 but wasn't released until their 1996 album Imperial Household Orchestra. In 1994 they started Fire Breathing Turtle to distribute their work along with audio exotica, especially their ongoing ?Victrola Favorites," complations of rare 78s from around the world. With numerous tapes, CDRs, mini-CDs, singles, side and solo projects, audiophile records and other aural collectables, being a CGT fan is no simple, or inexpensive, task. Early CGT albums Climax Golden Hiss (1995) and Imperial Houshold Orchestra (1996) offer a glimpse into their unique world of lo-fi collage -- organic, acoustic instruments mix with found sounds, electronics, and clips of sampled exotica. Their fascination with bygone days of phonography begins here, and their quirky sense of humor is already present as well. Locations (1998) focuses on voice and found sound. Dream Cut Short In The Mysterious Clouds (Anomalous, 2000), is a studio album that returns to their earlier formula with random noise-punk interludes, dreamy scapes and acoustics mixed with field recordings. Also in 2000 was the album known as ?TheRock Album" (Fire Breathing Turtle), a critically acclaimed tongue and cheek foray into the rock mindset, with a nod to prog rock and the math rockers who loved it. Session 9 arrived in 2001 and is one of CGT's many music for film projects, a weird, haunted mix of non-objective soundscaping. Lovely (Anomalous, 2002) reworked older material. Highly Bred and Sweetly Tempered appeared in 2004 and contains a collection of samples from eerie 78s, found speech, excellent Godspeed You Black Emperor style apocalyptic post-rock and shimmery guitar tracks. Member Rob Millis put out Leaf Music Drunks Distant Drums - Recordings from Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, and Myanmar also in 2004. Scott Colburn owns and engineers at Seattle's Gravelvoice Studios and Jeffery Taylor owns and runs Seattle's Wall of Sound record store. The band shares a special kinship with one of the city's most famous cult bands -- The Sun City Girls and have worked since their inception to support the American experimental music underground. CGT recently added a new member, drummer Dave Abramson" [Daphne Carr, All Music Guide]
