THE SIMPLETONES - EINFACH

• the simpletones: einfach
      (1993, cd, bel, avant sons 0193)

Founded by Johan De Smet and Rudy Cabie, The Simpletones project took a start in the late seventies. In their early years, all the compositions of the band consisted of maximum three different notes. A minimal music punk band.
In the eighties, the band morphed into a marching band, just to prove that there were no boundaries.
Later, Johan De Smet, as he got influenced by Frank Zappa, Edgar Varèse and Igor Stravinski, started composing classical music.
"Einfach" by The Simpletones is a fine example of this. The album features Peter Vermeersch, Bart Maris, Kristof Roseeuw and Tom Wouters (all from Flat Earth Society)

In 1980 :

GOLDEN DAWN ARKESTRA - STARGAZER

• golden dawn arkestra: stargazer
      (2016, lp, usa, modern imperial)

The Golden Dawn Arkestra released their first EP in 2014, followed by the "Stargazer" album in 2016.
They have a brand-new album out (or due out) called "Children Of The Sun", so I was in a bit of a hurry to add the data for "Stargazer" on the United Mutations Archives as this is superb material.

I love it !!
Essential listening.

HARDY FOX - NACHTZUG

• hardy fox: nachtzug
      (2018, cd, austria, klanggalerie gg274)

"Nachtzug" (Night Train) is Hardy Fox second solo album (as Hardy Fox, that is).
The album presents 7 tracks and totals a bit over 20 minutes.

If you liked Hardy's previous (self-titled) album, you should definitely take a trip on this "NightTrain".
Very recognizable. Both in composition as in instrumentation.
With special guest Nolan Cook on the guitar.
Very enjoyable.

Here's a snapshot of a part of the first package that I received as a Zappa Movie Project backer.

T-shirt is way too big, but I do like the buttons and the number-plate.

THE RESIDENTS - RMX

• the residents: rmx
      (2018, cd, austria, klanggalerie gg276)

Around 2004, The Residents released a couple of remix / RMX albums. A couple of years after that, a number of remixes were made available on iTunes. That's the source for this album.

The Residents are fiddlers. Not fiddle players, just fiddlers. They like to play around and see different ways their songs could sound. They call this RMX. Some say RMX stands for "remix" but with The Residents, who knows? While the RMX concept is mostly associated with two album projects (The King and Eye RMX and WB:RMX), The Residents had also tinkered with individual songs. These were released as free streaming tracks on the band's official MySpace page (yes, they had one). In 2007 most of these tracks were collected in a compilation simply titled RMX, first made available on iTunes. Never before have this tunes been available on a physical release, so we are now glad to present you RMX as a CD including two previously unreleased rmx's! New cover artwork by Pore Know Graphics.

1. Icky Flix Theme 
2. Kaw-Liga RMX 
3. Blue Rosebuds RMX 
4. Teddy RMX 
5. Picnic In The Jungle RMX 
6. Jelly Jack - The Boneless Boy RMX 
7. He Also Serves RMX 
8. This Is A Man's Man's Man's World RMX
