These two are the latest 7" singles in a series initiated by Tonschachtto showcase different strategies of contemporary—not necessarilyelectronic experimental—music. The design is the same as the previousreleases: a white typewriter font on black and vice versa on the infosheet enclosed. Nothing shall distract the listeners attention fromlistening itself. No. 009 features Auckland, New Zealand resident RosyParlane with "Kees.1" and "Kees.2". Side one sets a reduced breakbeatagainst an approaching intense swarm of electronic drones. On theflipside, "Kees.2" continues with an almost orchestral drone fadinginto distraction. Carefully selected sounds are introduced at first,while more sounds are seemingly randomly brought in, step by step,until a new structure evolves. As soon as the piece has completelymutated into something different, it stops. At first both pieces seemto be a bit short but each get to a point which gains and rewards yourattention without having to wait a full CD length for it.

Thebetter known Vibracathedral Orchestra from the UK grace No. 010.Working with a variety of more traditional instruments, they sound abit like an outtake of the fictive 'Industrial Unplugged' Series."Oblong Two" is the far darker and heavier one of the two. It's mood isan ambiguous drift leading your ears towards amazement. The title trackleaves the impression of optimistic ignorance in midst the wasteland.This is not really my pair of shoes but I'm sure lovers of freestylepost-everything will enjoy it. These editions are numbered and featureexclusive tracks and should be available at normal 7" single prices.For more info on this extraordinary series check out www.tonschacht.com.
