reviews:
Since I am not into sports at all, I had no clue who Eric Moussambani was. He was swimmer who took part in the Summer Olympics in 2000 and who was twice as slow as the winner (the Dutch Pieter van den Hoogenband) on the 100 meters and even slower than the 200m world record. A bit like good ol' Eddie The Eagle in the winter olympics a few years before. I had to do some more searching, since the track titles of this CDR are all named after tracks by a band McLusky, of whom I also didn't hear. So it goes, and upon hearing the music, I could go on wondering what this has to with Eric or McLusky. The orchestra plays five pieces of highly cut-up sounds, which they (he?) culled from various media sources and fucked it up inside a computer or perhaps analogue equipment. The five pieces are occasionally noise induced, but there is enough solid variation to make things quite interesting. Collage like, noise, quiet hum, static crackles: all the finer ingredients to make a good release. And with a nice poster of Eric for your bedroom. (Vital Weekly no.575, Frans de Waard)
