"Sprawling eurodrone from the crystal p. duo of benjamin laurent aman and sean fergus barrett. dudes lay down some nightmare thick leeches over the body and party like its 1799, getting all the witchcraft out of ya and sending it into the night. a weird mixture of bliss, misery, and satin oscillation from the sub-sub-basement." 905 tapes

"Crystal Plumage are the duo of Benjamin Laurent Aman on guitars & electronics
and Sean Fergus Barrett on electronics & oscillators. They are from Berlin by way of Los Angeles, and make some amazing electroacoustic music. This release is a single 30+ minute track that treads somewhere between minimal drone and musique concrète. A recording such as this has as much to do with Dylan Carson as it does John Cage."

Olde skozey fetisch performance newly posted @ YouTube. It was the first ever Noise Pancakes at Pubis Noir. There were three audience members in attendance.
6th. of May the dkfrf will be in Montreal and in Hamburg. No internet connections, the plain geo/psychological/emotional notion that two episodes will take place at the same day on different continents is enough.
Friday 24th April @ West Germany 21h00 Skalitzer Str. 133 / 10999 Berlin - X-berg
CLARA CLARA This band has an intense sound using the keyboard (Amelie Lambert) as the melodic digital force, chaotic /psychotic drums and frenetic electric bass (Charles Virot) relying heavily on distortion. Clara Clara plays hypnotic jams with occasional moments of sing along type phrasing. The crowd moved in a trance like motion of ecstasy until the last song, leaving a sweaty musty residue in the garage cocoon, to get some oxygen. (obsession colection / nyc show) ACTION BEAT Action Beat is an improvised noise/no-wave punk band from Bletchley (Milton Keynes), heavily inspired by early Sonic Youth, The EX, Glenn Branca and other avant guitar ensembles. DON VITO "In all seriousness, the band takes everything interesting, fast, complex and fist-pounding about rock and compresses it into a 50-second song." / Stranded in Stereo Magazine GTUK "Gtuk is Sebastian Hagedorn The music isn't comparable to any other shit we've heard. Check it out for yourself. The wonderful Wir Sind Glücklich is a masterpiece from the founder of unserious grindcore
