| 'SOUL ON ICE' BY T.H.F. DRENCHING FH-B 001 (CD) MAR 1999 SYNOPSIS: The shit be block-form, compressed opera-cycle. Nods to impotent minimal rhetoric, swipes to be had at piss-swigger, bald faux-agitator, bailiffs, gutless. 3-week pause in assembly-line work! This hi-speed pritted-ensemble from vocal, with all percussion guaranteed to ape Prince c. 1985! Each sound placed due to unethical composerly pressure from without, fizz follows own diagrammatic, niggardly, irrepressible, tardy, formal logic. A must buy! Note to Euro-faintheart, Italian, liberal-Teutonic espousers of brief translucent swizz; contains carefully-hidden run-thru of 'Star-Spangled Banner', and remains only viable left-alternative to foul, gentle stench of deconstructed, 'post-rave' electronica relinquishing power. |
| 'THE FORMAL NOVEL/WILLIAM SIDDLE' BY SAM SIMON/MAKIM CIRCE FH-B 002 (CASS) APR 2000 SYNOPSIS: Cassette single in reply to Rectangle records' Derek Bailey/ Out To Lunch collab.. 2 sonnets, no waiting, mild hysteria of creation dissolves puerile 'responsibility' of freedom-imp moralism. "a peculiar charm rises moist and horizontal like Fenland mist." (Hi-Fi News, April 2000) Described by Mr Bailey, off the record, as 'amusing'. |
| 'STORMING THE SOLIPSIST BARN!' BY MENASOR-DRENCHING AXIS FH-B 003 (CD) JUNE 2000 SYNOPSIS: No overdubbing in the making of this recording, nor synthetic post-prod trickery because open microphone has documented sound of unreconstructed electronic tape-machines and real pre-recorded magnetic cassettes improvising freely in real, actual, linear time onto genuine mass-produced DAT in real rented flat, all selections edited on original machine-made minidisc and pressed onto real CD-R with absolute minimum of human involvement and T.H.F. Drenching and Menasor would ask that you please understand it is simply for your own listening benefit that they advise you consume this recording with disproportionate care and attention. |
| 'BITCHES IN WINTER!' BY T.H.F. DRENCHING FH-B 004 (CD) OCT 2000 SYNOPSIS: EVERYTHING FROM HIGH-PITCHED TO QUITE LOW-PITCHED UNFOLDS IN LUCID CHIAROSCURO, ERUPTIVE MATERIAL NECESSITY SHAPING EACH BURNISHED MOMENT. SUBALTERN MID-TECH CONCRETE AT ITS MOST PRE-HISTORICALLY CHOREOGRAPHED. THERE ARE SPARKS WHEN THE GEARS WON'T MESH, OTHERWISE THE THING TRUNDLES ALONG A TREAT IN A LOWER REGISTER, ROLLING LIKE A 18-WHEELER FROM THE OUBLIETTES OF TOLERANT PROVINCES FLASHING A BLUNT BLADE OF MAGNETIC HUSK. APPEARING IN AN AVANT-PRIESTHOLE NEAR YOU! FROM RATHAUS TO RUBBLE WITH THE UNRATIONAL DOUBLE-BLUFF OF RHYTHMIC GAME-PLAN, SOFT SANDSTONE COPPING NEW HAND-DRILL "DRENCHING HAS DUG DEEP AND HAS DELIVERED," CONTAINS SECRET RUN-THRU OF 'COLONEL BOGEY' ACCIDENTALLY. |
