Ektroverde
is a Circle side project that appears every few years with some strange but
often cool music. I really like the space rock stuff they have done but this is
not at all in that category. This release is all fast tempo electronic loops
and drums with some strange sound effects mixed in. You might hear such strange
stuff in Outlet stores (in Finland??). One of the tracks on the b side of the
tape has some really cool bass line running through it.. Real bass or
synthesizer?? Sounds like bass to me.. The very last track also finally slows
things down with some more bass and a different lead synths sound. The material
was recorded in 1996 and 4 of the 5 tracks from the Music for Supermarkets
Mini-CD (released in 1997) are also included. Wonder why they left one track
off (Kierros). The tape is limited to only 100 copies and is probably already
sold out but you never know.. It gets a
bit repetitive and uninteresting eventually. Pretty much only for the hard core Circle
collectors..
This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..
