I suppose my essential message here is that the record is superb. It’s exhausting for sure, and I found I had to approach it incrementally, taking bits at a time.

Bernays Propoganda – Zabraneta Planeta
So, in summary it’s attractive, tough, and uncompromising music. Well worth a spin. I suspect they are dynamite live.

Dur-Dur Band – Volume 5
This record is a superb listen all round, it must be said. Of course the sardonic side of me can’t help a scintilla of sharp comment slipping through at this current trend for digging up and consuming old half-forgotten sounds from other continents.

Godspunk Volume 12

So it’s all a matter of time, and the true mysteries of a work or an idea often reveal themselves a lot later than we think.

Dom Vito, SCMB, Drie Dieren, CAB03, Leiden 15/3/13
Things eventually got delirious, and people – shaking, giddy, laughing along didn’t want to let them go, despite the room throbbing and shaking to this crisp, unforgiving white noise.
