| 'LIVE @ CITY SCREEN #2' BY PLEASURE- DRENCHING IMPROVERS FH-B 009 (CD) APR 2001 SYNOPSIS: nearly exactly 1 month later, drenching wielding metallic tub like a fool, chop-sticking the percussive strands into clutter, blocking alleys with lyrical aplomb, but you can't believe it. early moments inc/ nes.co.: a sober premonition of fizzing heights later scaled on FH-B014. sculpture less minute, p-di apply their larger brush, PALETTE-knifing through butter and iron filings into the cracks of yorkshire's restive neo-ancient shell. features first appearance of sonic pleasure's foot-bricks, grinding a stÜrm, selectively flecked with exclusive colours. |
| 'CASH CROPS' BY T.H.F. DRENCHING AND D.J. DEFROSTANCE FH-B 010 (CD) MAY 2001 SYNOPSIS: three months in the making, as close to a funk record as drenching has got and, all things considered, not particularly close. marco maurizi, adornite from rome, commented "you went over and over with those ugly chords! i couldn't believe it!" goaded into a collagist fit of trance-like overdubbery by tony gage's 'bollocks to the lot of them', drenching combines free-improvisation and beat-based backing tracks in layers, even finding courage to throw down some re-cycled rhymes, ill-advised, 'combined and uneven', embers of a latin/funk burn-out, this recording gives fusion a bad name, extending the envelope to indefensible proportion and stacking novelties like throw-pillows on the rug of your desire. |
| 'HUMAN DIRTBOX' BY EDMONDEZ-DRENCHING-PLEASURE FH-B 012 (CD) JUN 2001 SYNOPSIS: live IN KAKUTOPIA H.Q. YORK. THE FIRST HALF CONSTITUTES SOMETHING APPROACHING A LANDMARK FOR FREE IMPROVISATION. THERE IS an inexplicable CLauSTrOPHOBIa lurking between all sounds, one way or another it's exactly comparable to some kind of hot audio mist. as DRENCHING REVS UP SQUAwKS ON A CASIO RAP-MAN, PLEASURE'S BRICKS LITERALLY DISINTEGRATE OFF ON THE MIC, AND Y'ALL GOT GWILLY EDMONDEZ PULLIN' SOME TRANSFIGURING TAPE OUT OF HIS MEMORY SACK, you'll be wondering why all albums aren't like this. ABOUT THE SECOND HALF, THE LESS SAID THE BETTER. |
