words from a kindly Irish man...
...on the show recently in Kensal Green:
"Last night, in a small, candle-lit room near Kensal Green, David Thomas Broughton put on one of the best shows I’ve ever experienced. It’s not often that I get to walk away feeling completely exhilarated but when it does happen, this is the reason I’ll make a two-hour round trip to an empty bar in a place I’ve never been before, night after night.
For someone who appears to be going through his set in a completely random manner, he was in total control, commanding a reverential attentiveness for a performance that doesn’t pause for applause. Punching the wall, rearranging the candles and bottles on everyone’s table, kicking over his own pint, using a tape-recorder to squeal and grind out a quasi-rhythm, banging his equipment in time, and of course, coming into the audience to sing…all in one brilliantly orchestrated movement of expression. These things may not sound particularly impressive in isolation, but it was the sensation it produced as you watched it all unfold together: to be wowed and transfixed in the most life-affirming way possible"
"...tortured, soulful voice, his hypnotic loops and his zany humour...barely controlled rage and sadness in his songs that even the silliest stage acts become aggressive, intimidating and uncomfortable. Utterly magnificent..."
"My jaw actually dropped"

Thanks for coming and playing in Norwich, I was so happy to be able to put you on. Hopefully soon on a bigger stage so everyone can see you!

ich freue mich, mitteilen zu können, dass ich meine DVD "MUSIK UND MEHR" feriggestellt habe, die nun in einer hübsch-bescheidenen, selbst gebastelten Verpackung daherkommt und einen Überblick über zwölf Jahre des grandiosen Scheiterns liefert: alle No-Budget-Videoclips, Konzertmitschnitte, Interviews und ein ominöser Kurzfilm und auf der CD dann noch einmal sechzehn LoFi-Perlen von 1997 bis heute. Damit nicht genug: Neben "MUSIK UND MEHR", welche man sich im SHOP meiner Homepage WWW.DIAMETRAL-MUSIKUNDMEHR.DE bestellen kann, gibt es noch das kostenlose Album "ES IST VORBEI", welches man sich zum Beispiel HIER downloaden kann, randvoll gefüllt mit Coverversionen, Alternativversionen, Remixen und anderen Raritäten: 110 MB, MP3s mit variabler Bitrate und der ganze Cover-Pi-Pa-Po!!!
Alles Weitere ist an den üblichen Stellen in Erfahrung zu bringen!
Dear friends, my DVD / CD „MUSIK UND MEHR“ is OUT NOW !!!
