More Info

"The second album by the seminal Crammed band founded by Marc Hollander & Vincent Kenis featured a.o. Fred Frith and Chris Cutler (of Henry Cow and Art Bears fame).

More intense and “experimental”, than Aksak debut "Onze Danses", this album’s music contains complex, completely written sections as well as totally improvised and ambient pieces, not to mention drum machines, bassoons, sampling before sampling, Bulgarian voices, tango, Turkish, crypto-punk or pseudo-Varese music...

In 81 Aksak Maboul join forces with the Honeymoon Killers, and from then on made only a few appearances under that name (one third of the first Made To Measure volume, original music for fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto's shows), but the spirit lives on, as both of the original protagonists play a very active role in many Crammed productions, either together or separately."
