SWILL 031EP
|
"The first Swill Radio 7" in 26 years dating back to The Story Of Failure's Negative Fulfillment On The '83 Spitting Circuit EP. The Tobacconists are Frans de Waard and me and we are both heavy smokers. The Tobacconists did a few shows across Europe in the Spring of 2009 and recorded studio versions of our live material which should be released as an LP by Tourettes Records at some point. We did other recordings as well and from them Frans put together this excellent single. 'Prometheus' is a fire-stealing liver-eater with a truly astounding sonic palette. Dr. Perati's Laboratory has some dark secrets indeed and they are revealed here for the very first time. The infernal mechanism! Great cover by Jos Meeuw and a real 7" sleeve! Fantastic!" -- Scott Foust

"I've been in touch with Ian Middleton for over 13 years now, lured into contact by a Remora lathe-cut LP, I believe, which sounded similar in intent to IFCO material that Karla and I were working on at the time. Ian was a somewhat prolific figure of the '90s UK underground scene, both with his music and his visual art. There was an LP for Swill Radio 'in the can', which ended up on Eclipse as there wasn't any money here to release it. Ian's music has always had both organic and artificial elements combined with the vague melancholy of distant beauty. With Aural Spaces, Ian has refined and distilled his processes into a gorgeous electronic diamond. To quote my good friend Oskar Spee, 'Aural Spaces is an exotic, scientific, and beautiful perfume that slows down time and allows one to live, however briefly, in a better possible world.' I couldn't agree more. There is not a wasted moment. Ian has kept a low profile the last few years, preferring to concentrate on his work and make it better, an approach of which I heartily approve. The sequencing of this LP is immaculate, a skill that is becoming a lost art in this shuffle-play world. Aural Spaces is totally removed from the confines of today's backwards looking fads and instead points its bow directly towards the future. Fighting the good fight." -- Swill Radio

"Starring: Matt Krefting, Meara O'Reilly, Jessi Swenson. With Scott Foust, Graham Lambkin. Music by Idea Fire Company, Tart, The Pickle Factory, XX Committee. Y Front. Here's To Love! is reminiscent of the past glory of silent film, when the beauty of the image predominated, yet it looks firmly to the future. It is the story of a quest by three young people to find their aesthetic idol and save him from his degraded state, told through slowly unfolding scenes with striking, lingering, and sometimes aesthetically-challenging videography. These images are closely matched with original music by Foust and his various sound projects from throughout his career. A film to be watched with thought and a patience not usually demanded by today's methods of hyperactive, cartoonish editing, Here's To Love! should be viewed as a series of extended moving paintings, accompanied by truly timeless music." NTSC format, region free.

"Volume two in a Swill Radio series of LP's documenting the early work of Ralf Wehowsky (aka RLW). As with volume one, a slightly different version of this LP was originally released on cassette by Wahrnehmungen (later renamed Selektion) in the early 80's. This is a much more band-oriented release than volume 1. A number of tracks were recorded live and the mood is aggressive throughout. This is a fantastic Neue Deutsche Welle document. If it had been released on LP, it would be legendary. It still is."
