Flemish = Dutch, so people from the Netherlands could help you too. Anyway, I've got an exam on Monday, so I'll only translate the bit about Twine :-) Go on you native speakers, come out of your shells! >Het Amerikaans tweetal van Twine was voor het eerst in Europa en dat >was duidelijk te merken. Met haast kinderlijk enthousiasme maakten ze >gedurende de hele dag foto's van alles wat enigszins bewoog en ze >stonden bij haast ieder concert met pretlichtjes in de ogen mee te >knikken. The American duo "Twine" made their first appearance in Europe, and one could sure tell. With an almost childlike enthousiasm they took pictures of anything that moved even slightly, and with each concert they were nodding along with twinkling eyes. >Zelf moeten ze in muzikaal opzicht in ieder geval niet onderdoen voor >hun collega's: het vorig jaar verschenen Circulation (op Komplott) is >een meesterlijke exploratie van geluiden en structuren, dat zowel >geïnspireerd is door de experimentele elektronica lichting als door de >elektro-akoestische composities van Stockhausen en co., een doordacht >en organisch spel van akoestische en elektronische klanken, ongrijpbare >stemgeluiden en ambientsferen. When it comes to music, they certainly don't have [erm - buggy translation :-] to be second to their colleagues: Circulation (which came out on Komplott last year) is a brilliant exploration of sounds and structures, inspired both by the experimental electronica and the electro-acoustic compositions of Stockhausen and alike; a well-considered and organic game of acoustic and electronic sounds, intangible vocals and ambient atmospheres. >Dit jaar verschijnt er nieuw werk op labels als Bip-Hop en Hefty en we >konden er alvast een voorsmaakje van proeven. Eerste vaststelling: >beats! Terwijl die op Circulation bijna consequent vermeden werden, was >hun live-set doordrongen van gemuteerde en abstracte beats, die het >geheel weliswaar wat meer punch bezorgden maar tegelijkertijd de >subtiliteiten inperkten. Wat resteerde was een sterke set glitch, die >echter de innovatieve architectuur, die hun plaat zo overrompelend >maakte, ontbeerde. Maar toch: krachtig en veelbelovend. Te ontdekken! This year, there's new work coming out on labels like Bip-Hop and Hefty, and we already got a sneak preview [at the festival]. First conclusion: beats! Whereas on Circulation they were almost consequently avoided, their live set was full of mutated and abstract beats, that indeed gave the whole a bit more punch but at the same time limited the subtleties. What was left was a strong set of glitch, though lacking the innovative architecture that made their album so overwhelming. Yet still: powerful and promising.
