More Info

"The eleventh split record is with Hans-Joachim Hespos (1938), a German composer of avant-garde music, as Wiki learns me, although I never heard of him. His side has a short (8 or so minute) piece by him and then a collaborative piece with each Hjuler and Baer. Or maybe they do a remix of that original Hespos piece? It's a bit unclear, but all three are great pieces of classic musique concrete montage techniques in a heavy style. It's also noise, like Hasegawa, but of an entirely different nature. Not on-going, not endless, not cosmic, but razor sharp cut through blocks of frozen sounds. Or some such. Kommissar Hjuler und Frau on the other side have a very radical piece of sound poetry on offer. It's hard to say what this about, if anything at all actually, but sounds directly spoken, shouted, burped into the microphone, but then at one point you recognize some German sentences. Its sounds like a bunch of drunken Daleks. It's very consistent performance, and again not easily be called 'entertainment', but certainly in need of serious attention by those who like these totally outsider weirdness." [FdW / Vital Weekly]
