'BAD LOOPS' BY NES.CO. NC002 FEB 1999 SYNOPSIS: THE LOP-SIDED NIGHT TO NC001'S CHEERFULLY FETTERED DAY. WHAT MAKIM CIRCE DESCRIBED AS "THE GROUNDBREAKING SWIZZ OF THE BAD-LOOP METHOD" COMES INTO ITS OWN. NES.CO. SAT IN HIS HALLS OF RESIDENCE AND ETCHED THESE GEMS ON A TASCAM, LIKE IT WEREN'T EVEN SHIT. AS IF THE SUPREMATISM OF '15 CHANTS' HAS DEGRADED INTO WOODCUTS, REVERSING SLOWLY THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD INTO YOUR WIFE'S FACE, NES.CO. PLUNDERS THE FULL FRONTAL OF HIS CD COLLECTION, ALL THE WAY FROM JULIAN COPE TO SUSAN VEGA. TITLES CULLED FROM DAYTIME TV, BITTER PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AND PROVINCIAL RESEARCH, THE ALBUM DOESN'T SO MUCH TELL AS REPRESENT A SECRET STORY OF LOVE AND OBSESSIVE REGIONALISM. |
'PATRICK'S ALBUM (THE PATATUS ATKINSO PHILOSOPHICUS)' BY NES.CO. NC003 SYNOPSIS: HAVING BECOME SOMETHING OF AN 'ULTIMATE BREAKS AND BEATS' ALBUM FOR T.H.F. DRENCHING, WHO TIRELESSLY RIPS OFF THIS SEMINAL STRETCH, THIS RECORDING SEES NES.CO. CONSTRUCTING A PERSPEX SUSPENSION BRIDGE WITH THE TWEEZERS OF HIS MIND. MR RICHARD BLUNT PROVIDES THE BEATS, WHILST NES.CO. DIRECTS AND PRODUCES, SNIPPING THE RESULTANT ATMOSPHERES WITH CLAPPERBOARD PRECISION. STRUCTURED WITH WITTGENSTEIN;S NONSENSE/IDEALIST 'TRACTATUS' IN MIND, NES.CO., TOO, LEAVES THE BACK DOOR OPEN TO ALL BRANDS OF MYSTICISM. UNLIKE LUDWIG, HOWEVER, NESTY NES. CLEANS HIS TEETH AND SECURES THE MOSQUITO NETTING FIRMLY IN PLACE. |
'MODERN MUSIC IS EASY' BY NES.CO. NC004 APR 2002 SYNOPSIS: FOR SOME REASON, NES.CO. IS SOUNDING ALMOST LIKE HE ON SOME SCRIABIN SOLO PIANO SHIT ON THIS JOINT AS HE DEFIANTLY AND WITH SHELL-LIKE DISCIPLINE OBEYS HIS OWN MUSICAL RULES WITH UNQUESTIONING STOICAL BRAVERY, FOLLOWING THEM INTO THE FUR-LINED GALLEYS OF UNUSUAL PLACES, AND NEVER ONCE ACCEPTING ANYTHING LESS THAN FULL AESTHETIC RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE RESULTS. THE UNSETTLING DRYNESS OF DELIVERY COUPLED WITH THE APPALLING WETNESS OF DECISION MAKES FOR AN EXPERIENCE NOT TO BE MISSED, LIKE A BALLERINA PERCHED IN THE WINGS, UNEXPECTEDLY FILLING IN ON SOME WORD-SEARCH. |
'15 CHANTS' BY NES.CO. NC001 MAY 1998 SYNOPSIS: LIKE A REACTIONARY, LOVEABLE OLD JAZZ GUY, NES.CO MAINTAINS A RESPECTFUL DISTANCE FROM THE AVANT-GARDE, PREFERRING INSTEAD TO CONSIDER AND COUNTER EVERY CONCEIVABLE OBJECTION IN ADVANCE WITH A SINGULARLY ANAL AND STUBBORN REFUSAL TO CO-OPERATE. THROUGH BOUNCING JAUNTS INTO THE PECULIAR SPECIAL STREAM-LINE OF CHANT 6 AND ON LIKE A RELENTLESS NAGGING BASTARD INTO THE ANTE-CHAMBERS OF IMPRACTICALLY LINEAR THOUGHT, NES.CO LAYS OUT AN ANTI-EXPRESSIONISTIC STANCE WITH APLOMB, LEADING THE DAZED AND LONELY LISTENER ROUND AND ROUND ALIENATING BUILDINGS BY THE SHARP LAPELS OF YOUR CHEQUERED COAT. |
