Artist:	TO ROCOCO ROT
Title:
Label:	KITTY YO (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	KY 001CD

"In 1996 Robert and Ronald Lippok (also member of Tarwater) and Stefan Schneider (also bassplayer of Kreidler) founded just for a one and off session and recording the project To Rococo Rot. It was no coincidence that To Rococo Rot´s first release was on vinyl. During the self-titled exhibition at Berlin-Mitte´s Weißer Elefant gallery, Robert Lippok used three record players that were rotated by electric drills -- computer-driven, of course. Casually danceable, practical and objective electronic dub, interspersed with house elements. To Rococo Rot was the first and most influential German so-called postrock band."

Artist:	SCHWERMUT FOREST
Title:	Sort Of
Label:	KITTY YO (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	KY 017CD

2nd album by this German group with associations to the Kollaps/Hausmusik/Payola scene. "Schwermut Forest are tired of siley being associated with 'introverted strangeness'. The minimalisitc attitude which has lent the band such a fine name, has been put to the files. Now, Schwermut Forest build up a sound which could fit into any radio format. Turn on the car hifi, you're on the way from Munich to Berlin, it snows, and there it is: a 3 minute version of Workshop's best tracks. File under: post-rock."

Artist:	LAUB
Title:	Unter Anderen Bedingungen Als Liebe
Label:	KITTY YO (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	KY 019CD

"Laub's 2nd longplayer on Kitty-Yo. With the first CD Kopflastig, Laub has been compared to a.o. Lamb, Quarks and Björk, and at the same time to the very German 'Berlin 80's'. The remix 12" in '98 then added new influences: drum'n bass style, Laub went dancefloor. Now Laub have found a way to balance on the thin line in between. No distortion on the vocals any longer, harmonies and beats can be found in the... songs (no tracks). One can see a similar evolution to their labelmates Tarwater: the sinister sound of the music does no longer exclude the overwhelming pop-appeal. For this record, the band first took their new drummer Sebastian (also part of Kante) in. DJ Bleed added his voice on answering machine and Stefan Betke aka Pole took an advisory part on the production. Laub are amongst the frontriders of the 'new German wave' coming up once again these days. File under: Electronic Listening/ Trip Hop." Limited stock.

Artist:	KANTE
Title:	Zweilicht
Label:	KITTY YO (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	KY 034CD

"Kante now present a studio album with truly timeless quality. Accompanied by a 14-person string orchestra and horns, Kante enrich the classical band set-up by adding computer and electronics and open a unviersal field that goes from blues, African music, jazz and modern classic up to very minimal electronic. Zweilicht" oversteps the boundaries of post- and indierock by far. Looking for references you could think of Marc Hollis/Talk Talk, Robert Wyatt, Alice Coltrane, Bob Dylan or Steve Reich."

Artist:	PEACHES
Title:	Set It Off
Label:	KITTY YO (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$6.50
Catalog #:	KY 051CD

"Here comes the very first single from Peaches, yes that's right! The Lovertits EP, which was vinyl-only, and then the duet Red Leather with Gonzales, could never really be counted as HER singles. So why do a single NOW? Because audience and artists wouldn't stop asking about her, wanting to hear from her, work with her... And so comes, that on this single some of the finest remixers around are being featured. Starting off with Tobi Neumann, who was basically responsible for Chicks On Speed's DJ Charts No.1 hit 'Kaltes Klares Wasser', then followed by DJ Assault, famous (or infamous?) boss of the growing worldwide miami bass scene, and then everybody's darling: 21 year old Kid 606, who previously remixed for a.o. Depeche Mode, Super Furry Animals, Foetus and Ruby."
