here is a review from FREQ Music E-Zine -
http://www.freq.org.uk
John Siddique's music goes from strength to strength, and The Meat And
Bread Variations find him in collaborative mode. "Seekh Kebab And Nan" is a
slide through shimmering bowed devices and instruments and the power
electronics of Merzbow. The rustle, rumble and emergent squeal of the
electronics runs together nicely with the bowing, diving glimpses of the
rosin on what could be metal, might be a 'real' instrument, but the results
are concisely soothing. Chris Robinson combines his decks with Jowonio's
own and live drumming and percussion to make a beatish mix of feedback and
groove for "Panico's Chicken Kebab"
The synths get a ponderous airing next alongside drum machinery and Big
Block 454's guitar and balalaika dissonances, with a nice dissolve into
hiss, but "Sausage And Brown Sauce" brings the mood up into cheesy, cheery
preset toy keyboard land; chuckling ditties wander through a gradually
incrementing delay fog, slipping lightly into decay and lo-fi
hallucinations. But best of all is "Apocalypse With Dill Pickle", in which
Siddique tackles Current 93's "Imperium II" to the accompaniment of Alan
Stivell's beautiful harp playing. This cover really brings out the simple
melancholy of the song, as the richly-wistful voice delivers a version of
one of David Tibet's most eloquently sorrowful pieces in fine style. This
is a terrific interpretation, one which does more than justice to a
classic, and deserves immediate attention. -Antron S. Meister-
