More Info

Wer nach der RRR-500 gedacht hatte, es könne keine Steigerung mehr geben (500 Endlosrillen auf EINER Platte), wird nun eines besseren belehrt: RRR-1000 enthält tatsächlich 1000 "lock grooves", und ist dennoch abspielbar!! 20 Noise-Legenden sind mit je 50 (!) lock grooves vertreten, z.B. RLW, KEVIN DRUMM, SUDDEN INFANT, FRANCISCO LOPEZ, NEW BLOCKADERS, JEROME NOETINGER, AMK, THOMAS DIMUZIO, RUNZELSTIRN & GURGELSTOCK.. man braucht wohl mehrere Tage bis Wochen, bis man alle Loops durchgehört hat, v.a. wegen der genauen Platzierung der Nadel. Jedes Cover ist ein Unikat (recyclete Cover), kein Trash, sondern z.T. wunderschön aufgemacht !! Was für eine Platte !!

"An amazing project to celebrate the RRRecords label. Each invited artist did 50 loops (50 locked grooves). The LP is printed at 2000 copies. Each cover is different ! With AMK, Aaron Dilloway, Thomas Dimuzio, Kevin Drumm, Carlos Giffoni, Incapacitants, GX Jupitter-Larsen, Jason Lescalleet, Francisco Lopez, Lasse Marhaug, The New Blockaders, Jérome Noetinger, Damion Romero, Prurient, RLW, Runzelstirn & Gurgelstock, Sudden Infant, Keith Whitman, C. Spencer Yeh, Otomo Yoshihide." [label info]

"possibly the penultimate release in a series of locked-groove releases instigated by rrron “emil beaulieau” lessard back in 1993 with the “rrr-100” 7” single record (feat. 50 locks per side by folks like jim o’rourke, idea fire company, borbetomagus, skullflower, chop shop, new blockaders, et.al) then again in 1998 with the “rrr-500” lp (250 on each side by ... one a piece by pretty much a who’s who of late-90s experimental sound) ...
and now, 11 years later, we get the next logical evolutive step ; 1000 locked grooves (500 per side !!!) ; 50 each by 20 artists picked by rrron based on the following algorithm ::
'this time i decided to focus on only 20 artists and give them plenty of room to stretch out - really glad i did because this one is much more solid than the other two, noisewise
before i invited the artists, i had devised a simple formula for myself
50/50 = noise/electronic (experimental)
50/50 = new/old school
50/50 = usa/intn'l
50/50 = people i always work with/people i've never worked with'
the unsung genius / hero here is undoubtedly aardvark mastering’s paul brekus, who must have spent countless man-hours getting the metal mothers cut just right (i can only imagine the number of time he got halfway through cutting a side before making a single mistake & having to start over from scratch !!!) ... despite the fallout from such a thing a thing (i.e. the deluge of blackened noise tapes & cdr’s i’m going to be handed at gigs over the next year or so comprised of “prurient loops” will undoubtedly be bafffling) the quality & attention to detail put forth by just about everyone is seriously impressive ... easily on the records of the year thusfar & a testament to the staying power & endless, mutating possibilities of the vinyl lp record ...
highest recommendation !!!" [Mimaroglu]
