" "The future is female", announces the well-known homosexual ironist Max Goldt here (on Ladies Ladies) speaking in 1983, long before getting married to a woman and thereby exhibiting a confounding yet admirable internal consistency. This finely-tuned sense of amibiguity will be familiar to those who have followed Goldt's work as a musician and then an author since the late 70s. Here on this record his lyrics and vocals are filleted from the historical timeline for a reconstitution involving the various talents of Mr. Kubin and Mr. Boombastik. Mark Boombastik is a musician, singer, DJ and human beatboxer par excellence - giving the frogs something to hop to here on Fog Frog. Felix Kubin is the wicked svengali whose tendrils traverse time and space to tickle this record into existence, because Side B's Ladies Ladies, as previously mentioned, is actually a post-feminist pre-ejaculation from way back when, here recently gently re-agitated in the Kubin studio. The 2003 "too-Neubauten" mix (involving electric heater percussion) of Fog Frog has been updated to a more judiciously organized final version, whilst still retaining the original tipsy-sounding recording of the famously discerning Mr Goldt in his hotel room."

"Two older pieces here, one from 2003 and one from 1983. One side is a collaborative effort between superstar Felix Kubin, human beat boxer Mark Boombastik and musician/writer Max Goldt, while the other side (the 1983 piece) is by Goldt alone. The 2003 piece has metallic percussion and the previous mix was 'too Neubauten' like, so now a new mix sounds more 'updated' (I am quoting here the press release, a rarity for Meeuw to do one). Goldt recorded the vocals in a hotel room and Boombastik and Kubin deliver a great rhythmic background, filled with lots of synthesizer oscillations and is throughout a fine pieces. On the other side Goldt has a likewise great pop song, dedicated to the Ladies, which for a homosexual might be a surprise. Here too we have a lot of rhythm, which actually sound dated (think Neue Deutsche Welle), sampled metal here too, and Goldt delivers a fine vocal. No doubt, both sides scream 'hit' all along. But then, we live in an unfair world, and no luck probably for
such a release. On the other hand, things like this will be cherished in the underground no doubt. Excellent!" [FdW/Vital Weekly]
