HINT : wu-wei (PAN 028)
In the Summer Hint recorded their new album on which they immerse the
listener in an ocean of sound, treading a fine line between Noise and
Ambience.
"WU-WEI" is the third album from the French duo, consolidating their
growing popularity and influence in mainland Europe. "WU-WEI" is cinema
for the ears !
10 tracksof raging beauty that create an imaginary soundtrack to the
movie that runs in your head. The addition of cello, violin, and horns
on several songs help to form a unique blend of instrumentation and
electronic sound manipulations. The distinctively European tonalities
merging with the sampled sources into vast columns of sound, both
ancient and modern.
Comparisons have been made with Can, This Heat and Labradford... but in
actuality Hint sound like no-one other than themselves.

http://www.cerberus-shoal.com
Cerberus Shoal formed in the fall of 1994. The group practiced in Boston
and played their first show in March of 95' at the NYC punk space ABC No
Rio. Working through the Do-It-Yourself punk scene they released three
records, went on to tour and record for years making music as art,
expression and a way of life. Last year, C.S. have made three records:
"homb", "Crash My Moon Yacht" and "Mr. Boy Dog". The first was released
by Temporary Residence in Dec. of '99, the second is now released by
Pandemonium Records.
Wielding the usual drums/guitar/bass assortment of instruments plus
piano, brass, violin, didjeridoo, theremin, flute, congas, & some other
ones harder to identify... The group takes you on a relaxing trip. Go
for a delightful journey into the world of original music. The band are
currently touring Europe. The great struggle continues...
ANDY'S CAR CRASH : formes (PAN 037)
A. C. C. stretches and fragments the periods of time and transform
various sounding matter/sonic material into an element of composition :
A creation based on experimentations which provide a perpetual
renovation.
Pathologically, A. C. C. result from the collaboration of five autists
who manage to understand one another, and found a way of expressing it
in destroying their influences... From Steve Reich to Einstürzende
Neubauten, not to mention Autechre.
Most of all, they create a very strong and up to date music that dares
to go beyond any restriction... Transgressive Electronica... Well,
simply "formes" by andy's Car Crash.
a parallel music for perpendicular feelings
