Price (incl. 19% VAT): €20.00 More Info "Surely I missed out on a few of those split LPs that Komissar Hjuler and Mama Baer are doing as this is already volume 8, with this time Japanese psychedelic band LSD March, named after a track by Guru Guru. I am not sure if I ever heard of LSD March. They have here one piece without a title of a highly improvised nature. It starts in a free rock vein, not loud but disorganized and then followed by a spoken word with sound effects and maybe bits with percussion. Then a bit with sine wave like sounds before ending a more conventional (?) free mode. It seems to me that these are excerpts of longer pieces stuck together to make this side long piece. Its fine music, but hardly doesn't stand out, I think. On the other side we have this time just Mama Baer, who '… Plays Amy Winehouse'. Now I readily admit I never heard Winehouse's music until day she died (honest confession, but then I don't have a radio either), so I am not sure what to make of this piece. Lots of line hum, and Mama Baer reciting text/half half singing something with the very irregular strumming of a detuned guitar. Did someone say 'outsider'? This might fit the description very well. Its great music, but I am the first to admit that this is surely not the easiest stuff around. I am however fascinated by the popularity of Baer and Hjuler. Its seems difficult to me, and yet so many people like it. Odd. This record builds further to that notoriety." [FdW/Vital Weekly] www.psych-kg.de
