Have I missed any news about this batch of archive releases and deluxe reissues ?

It's billed as rehearsals and, as you'd expect, is pretty rough and ready at times. If you have Behind the Curtain it's of very marginal interest... but anyone interested can contact me offlist.

But as much as I like its tinkly approach to Krautrock, I didnt expect anything as hard-hitting as this. There were times when they were ferocious  including the opening moment when they just suddenly launched into about five seconds of loud, pounding madness in front of a flashing animated screen. Talk about grabbing the audiences attention!! They then settled down for a lengthy number that later burst suddenly into life when the singer/keyboard player/acoustic guitar player became a second drummer, leaving the guitarist to play along with the backing tapes whilst the drummers indulged in some kind of percussive warfare. Indeed Mr keyboard player hit his kit with such power that Mike Tyson in his peak would have struggled to match it, while the usual drummer mirrored it with an altogether more subtle approach. It was riveting, and though it obviously lost its feeling of novelty when it was repeated throughout the set, it was incredibly intense stuff. Members changed instruments throughout the set, with the keyboard player also being rather partial to a melodica and toy trumpet, and other than a mellow Hello Hammerheads to sooth us down, they barely let things slip. Otherwise it was a set full of long numbers that would drift on with lovely little noodly bits here and there, before sudden, precisely executed bursts of power would stop us in our tracks  talk about light and shade. They might have one foot in the prog-camp in that their numbers would suddenly veer off to unexpected places, but whatever these musicians played was about enhancing the music, with none of that horrid hey-look-at-me-I-can-really-play mentality that tended to go hand in hand with prog-bands of yesteryear. This is a band that on at least one occasion gave me goosebumps, and who, towards the end of the set, had me closing my eyes to shut out the rest of the world. Those sounds were worth savouring Although they played some old stuff from their days as Manitoba, the bulk of the set was from the Milk album, with the excellent single Yeti, the driving Barnowl and a beautifully twangy Bees standing out, before ending with a superb A Final Warning, which I always think sounds not unlike Neu attempting Pinball Wizard. I can give you all sorts of soundbites - Krautrock for the 21st century, prog without the horrible fiddly bits or even  at times - Four Tet with Rat Scabies on drums, but will just end by saying that live, these lads are little short of amazing. I just cant believe more people arent into them. ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V8 #277 *******************************
