His influential project WHITEHOUSE has become a worldwide reference. The music on this CD and the arrangements by Reinhold Friedl were worked out in close collaboration with William Bennett and the zeitkratzer musicians. The compositions are short, very clear, and have an unbelievable impact, the sounds are harsh and exactly defined. This music is an adventurous journey into the amplified acoustic noise of musical instruments. This project would not have been possible without the experience of zeitkratzer in noise and sound music, for example in their collaborations with Merzbow, Lou Reed, Zbigniew Karkowski or Keiji Haino. This CD is one of the most concentrated and precise noise works, zeitkratzer has ever presented." [label info & credits] www.zeitkratzer.de "This may look like an odd combination: the ten piece Zeitkratzer with their trombone, trumpet, piano, harp, drums, violin, violoncello, double bass and clarinet playing the music of Whitehouse. But in case you forgot: Zeitkratzer has also played works by Merzbow, Zbigniew Karkowski, Keiji Haino, and performed Lou Reed's 'Metal Machine Music'. In the case of Whitehouse they perform six pieces, mainly from 'Cruise', 'Racket' and 'Bird Seed' in a totally acoustic setting. I wouldn't have mind hearing Zeitkratzer play say 'Erector', 'Great Whitedeath' or 'Bird Death Experience', and not the perhaps more complex recent pieces. Zeitkratzer however does a great job with their acoustic noise approach, and know how to translate the electronic noise of Whitehouse with an equal power into the world of the acoustics. Its an excellent work, with twenty-eigth minutes perhaps a bit short, but perhaps also reminding us of the early Whitehouse, which were equally short. No covers of pieces like 'Politics'. This is a live recording, and after each piece Zeitkratzer played something by Morton Feldman. It must have been one hell of an evening. A total racket." [FdW / Vital Weekly]
