| 'LIVE @ H.O.T.S-O.D. 27TH APRIL 2001' BY BECK-DRENCHING-PLEASURE FH-B 017 (CD) JAN 2002 SYNOPSIS: for christ's sake! information-only release forced at critical gunpoint into the imaginary shops. unexpectedly reviewed and then ordered by somebody i don't know: hurriedly scraped off magnetic cassette and bundled into forms unspoke. Sonic pleasure's flute cuts a raffish gait across beck's CONSUMMATE FENESTRATION like some kind of cyber-gypsy on poppers whilst drenching pisses around like a spoiled fuck. fortunately, on the 2nd half of this recording he's too quiet to cause any real damage, and beck and pleasure snatch a giddy victory from the jaws of defeat, yonder ever gaping. |
| 'PERSONAL INJURY ASSIST' BY T.H.F. DRENCHING FH-B 018 (CD) FEB 2002 SYNOPSIS: A 100% UNPREcEDENTED 7 MONTHS IN THE MAKING, DRENCHING SLAVED AWAY LIKE A HOPELESSLY UNPOPULAR, INTROVERTED SCHOOLCHILD TO DRAG THIS, HIS FIRST FULLY-COMPOSED ALBUM FOR NEARLY 3 YEARS, INTO THE WEEDY SPOTLIGHT OF THE PENNILESS AND MARGINALIZED AVANT-GARDE. BLOCKED OFF LIKE A REPLICA VOODOO BREASTPLATE, HIGHLY COLOURED, PITCHED AT THE SPEED OF INSECT CONSCIOUSNESS, THIS ALBUM COMPRISES EVERY IDEA DRENCHING HAD IN 7 MONTHS FOLDED AND COMPRESSED INTO BLINDING MINIATURE CAR-CRASHES OF COASTAL JOKE-SHOP ACHTUNG, AND AFTER THE FINAL ELECTRONIC PUKE WAS PASTED ON, HE RECLINED IN HIS BACKLESS CHAIR, LIT A CHEAP CIGAR AND MARVELED AT HIS OWN BREATHLESS CREATIVITY LIKE A SMUG SHIT. |
| 'SPECIAL BAYONETS/FIRE DAY' BY PLEASURE-DRENCHING IMPROVERS FH-B 019 (CD) FEB 2002 SYNOPSIS: MILITARILY-GIFTED, RESOLUTE, CHISELED, THE YOUNGER BROTHER OF FH-B 013 HAS RECENTLY BEEN VOTED THE METAL-WORKERS' UNION'S CUTTING COMPOUND OF CHOICE. TIRELESSLY INVENTIVE, ACUTELY CAUSTIC, STUBBORNLY INSOLUBLE, FH-B 019 CONTAINS 11 CUTS FROM P-DI AT THE ABSOLUTE CREST OF THEIR FORM, RIDING THE FLASHING BLADES OF LEVENSHULME'S NOVEMBER THE FIFTH CELEBRATIONS LIKE TIN MINNOWS DECKED OUT IN THE STOLEN GOLD OF THEIR INCENDIARY FINEST. PAUSING ONLY TO TOSS A PLUNDERED CHALIce INTO THE NEVA, P-DI FORGE AN INSURRECTIONARY AVENUE STRAIGHT FROM BONFIRE NIGHT TO VALENTINES DAY, INCIDENTALLY TRASHING THE REACTIONARY IMPLICATIONS OF ASH WEDNESDAY INTO THE BARGAIN. |
| 'THE LEISURE-CIRCLES SHOW' BY KIM CIRCLES/DOMINIQUE LEISURE FH-B 020 (CD) FEB 2002 SYNOPSIS: RECORDED IN CHRONOLOGICAL TANDEM WITH FH-B 019, DRENCHING AND PLEASURE DON MASKS OF LAUGHABLE 'ANONyMITY' FOR THIS SURPRISINGLY HONEST AND STRAIGHT-AHEAD SET SEEMINGLY DISGUISED AS A SLICK, CONCEPTUAL BRICKBAT. IT SEES DOMINIQUE LEISURE DUSTING OFF HER OBTUSE CELLO AND THE REDOUBTABLE KIM CIRCLES BEATING HER FRACTURED TATTOO ON EVERYTHING IN REACH AND NOTHING OF IMPORTANCE. ON occasion LEISURE TAKES A SOLO, WINCING UP THE NECK LIKE A HIGHWIRE, ON OTHERS CIRCLES DRAGS SOME ELECTRONICS INTO THE ROOM AND IS SUDDENLY ON SOME STAGGERING MONOTONOUS SHIT, LIKE HEAR THE DRUMMER GET WHISKY AND PUTTING THE AIR BACK IN TRACTION. |
