Artist:	SCHLAMMPEITZIGER
Title:	Augenwischwaldmoppgefloete
Label:	A-MUSIK (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	A 018CD

"Third or fourth full length from Joe the carpenter (whether or not you count the reissue of the Erdrauchharnschleck cassette on LP last year, or the His Master's Cosmic Music/Schlammpeitziger LP on Gefriem) after the (deep breath) Freundlichbaracudamelodieliedgut and Spacerokkmountainrutschquartier full lengths of yore. Featuring yet more lush pop made with the same Casio CZ-230S & the little battery powered Yamaha sampler he's used for years now both in the studio and live. Quite brilliant, eclipsing any of the similarly themed but far less informed efforts being laid to tape by certain legions of American post-indie dropouts (those fools!). Necessary." -- Hrvatski.

Title:	Everything Without All Inclusive
Label:	SONIG (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	SONIG 032CD

"After interim activities such as remixing Depeche Mode and appearing at several festivals, the likable master of the Casio releases his fifth album. The aural handwriting of few contemporary electronic musicians is as distinctive as Schlammpeitziger's. Everything Without All Inclusive perfects and expands his signature friendly Casiogrooves and irresistible melodies with surprising elements beneath the surface -- seriousness and doubt. Schlammpeitziger always augments his melodious tracks with subtle layers of noise. Many here have an ambiguous quality that's hard to grasp; arrangements are shot through less with a barrel organ sort of humor than with desire and melancholy. Nevertheless, this music is surely big fun and good for love at first sight. But it also stands the test of the second and third sight. On further hearings, this music reveals qualities submerged by a wave of sympathy in the initial encounter."

Title:	Collected Songs Of My Temporary Past
Label:	SONIG (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	SONIG USCD001

"A lifelong Cologne resident, Jo Zimmerman aka Sclammpeitziger, has been recording his homemade brand of electronic music for more than a decade now. This release collects the best moments from his first release in 1993, Erdrauchharnschleck on the Entenpfuhl label, to the most recent Augenwischwaldmoppgeflöte on A-Musik. In all, Zimmerman has released 4 albums in addition to numerous 12"s and split LPs under the Schlammpeitziger moniker. Along with F.X. Randomiz, Zimmerman is also one half of the duo Holosud whose 1998 LP Fijnewas afpompen was widely hailed in electronic music circles. First time listeners to Schlammpeitziger will be delighted by his playful, romantic sound that draws just as much inspiration from little pleasures such as fishing, food, and drinking Koelsch, Cologne's local beer, as he does from the inventive spirit of Cologne's vibrant music scene. The future looks bright for Schlammpeitziger, as he prepares to begin recording another Holosud album in the near future, why not brush up on the past now?"
