briggebliebene Kopien einer CD die anlsslich eines DIE STADT-Konzertabends in Brssel (18.10.2007) verffentlicht worden ist: Ein langes live-Stck von JOHN DUNCAN (San Francisco July 2007) -> wieder sprt man man hier die rohe & archaische Kraft von reinem Klang und die grossen Dynamikeffekte von eingesetzer "fliessender" Stille (24+ Minuten). berraschenderweise dann ein lterer live-Mitschnitt von KONTAKT DER JNGLINGE, und zwar vom Mai 2003 aus Montreal, der sie sehr rauh und ausserweltlich dronig zeigt, auf verschiedenen Klangleveln (gefllt uns natrlich ausgezeichnet).
Bei CM VON HAUSSWOLFF geht es wie gewhnlich noch 'ne Ecke verschrobener zu, wenn beim "All Tomorrows Parties"-Festival (?) rhythmisch wiederkehrende Quietsch- oder Sinustne zu vernehmen sind.... diese CD funktioniert sowohl als rares Bonus-Material fr die Fans, aber ist auch fr Drone-Novizen geeignet, die sich in die Materie hineinzoomen wollen.

"To be on Die Stadt as an artist seems to me a great thing. Besides great looking releases, they organize events for you, and for such an occasion they usually release a CD or a 7", which can be bought on the night, but there is always a left-over for the unlucky who didn't make it. Last month there was an event in Brussels with three stable mates: John Duncan, CM von Hauswolff and Kontakt Der Junglinge. Perhaps Die Stadt asks too much of their artists, and none did a new studio recording, but you could also think it's interesting to capture a live track by them. So three live tracks here. Duncan's piece was recorded at the Compound, earlier this year, and although it's a while since I last heard studio recording by John Duncan, it sounds like a trademark piece for him: micro tones, composed from heavily processed shortwave sounds, make up a fine piece shifting from intense loudness to careful and delicate. Very nice. Kontakt Der Jnglinge, being Asmus Tietchens and Thomas Kner, present a recording from 2003, at the Mutek festival. They too present a characteristic piece for them with computer processing of acoustic sounds. Loads of dark rumble and high pitched processed sounds. Hauswolff's piece seems to be made with bird sounds, looped around and with a crescendo of noise coming in and more insect like sounds. Nice but not his best. Three good introductions of three great artists (well, four), in case you ever would need that." [FdW / Vital Weekly]
