did you miss the point entirely?
No, Soul Coughing does not suck. I saw them play live when they still
existed. At the Metro in Chicago a few years back. The performance was
like no other. Every instrument and every sound they made complimented
eachother is such a way that that inner sence of being is appealed to
the language of their rythems and lyrics. They even impoved a song when
Mark had to restart his computer...

<Phonem and Arovane info = begin repost>
One to drool over...
Here is the press release for a forthcoming album I think we will
all be interested in hearing.
. Arovane_Phonem: aer [valid] cd (Vertical Form)
Tracks:
- valid rand
- aer [valid]
- valid fard
- [fard] ent:r
- neyem
- suffer
- decay
- blacksoil
Aer [valid] is an exclusive collaboration between renowned electronic
artists Arovane and Phonem. Having released critically acclaimed
work on Berlin labels such as Din and Morr Music, this joint venture
marks the first album release for UKs Vertical Form label and is
part of a series of ongoing projects for the label with both musicians.
Bored of the radion with its narrow formats and choice? This music
refelects the real barrage of sounds and information that we are
greeted with every day. Digitally constructed but emotive and with
soul - an antidote to the pre-packaged banalities of much of modern
popular music, the sounds tap into a world-wide network of musicians
and listeners, offering something limitless and free of commercial
restraints and is a welcome addition to the rich vein of electronic
music produced over three decades from Germany. Written with contrasting
techniques, Arovane uses only hardware, having learnt modular-analogue
sythesis from scratch, whereas Phonem originally started writing
on an Atari games computer. For those already aware of Uwe Zahn and
Elliot Perkins solo work, this should be an intriguing mix - for
those yet to hear, prepare to be impressed.
The music, showing classic techno roots mixed with high-tech gitch,
ambient, dub and noise, ebbs and flows from distorted, clipped beats
through to clouds of melody containing splinters and human voice
and found sound (Phonem was a language student and describes his
work as "a very vocal project."). An edgy mood shifts into childlike
harmonies often within the same track while unexpected contrasts
gives way to tracks of languidity and relaxation that are a million
miles away from "chill out" or lounge music. There is also a spontaneity
of the tracks at odds with some other electronic music; Arovane has
said elsewhere how he is looking for "the perfect interface between
man and machine", so technique is never present at the expense of
emotion. Often demanding, but equally rewarding this is an album
to immerse yourself in from beginning to end; as Phonem says "one
big research project", but this is in no way mere laboratory music,
this is sound science with soul.
Credits: Tracks 1, 2, 3 & 8 w/p by Arovane_Phonem, 4 & 5 w/p by Arovane,
6 & 7 w/p by Phonem.
Catalogue No: VFROM008CD

very flowery hype listed above. My review coming as soon as I get
