More from post-punk L.A.,
means more from Trance Port Tapes, and 'Live From The Trance Port'
cassette.Which is basically what it suggests ,live recordings from
four Trance Port artists.
First up we get the
'Electronic Beat Poetry' of 'Randall Kennedy In Reconstruction'. A
kind of hipster white rap set to a backing of a mutant disco
electronic backing. Rather effective,but three tracks is enough of
that I reckon.(A full tape of this exists on Trance Port ?it
might be available soon via Carlo ?-see comments on L.A.
Mantra).
The LAFMS connection part
one is the improvised chamber music of the wonderfully named ,Fat &
Fucked Up. Serving up a quarter of an hours worth of cello
scraping,viola plucking,contra bass slapping,scat squealing modern pseudo classical improvisation. A fine act indeed.
Stillife get all minimal,
with three hypnotic tunes that remind one of Steve Reich,Terry Riley,
and Eno coming at ya all in one big repetitive ambient mantra. This
would have undoubtedly been taken more seriously in New York, leading
to a string of LP's on CBS classical.
Finally we get LAFMS part
two,another Brad Laner vehicle, Debt of Nature. Abrasive,crude,highly
treated Punk,is what it says in the booklet.Who am I to argue with
that ? These are the best tracks on the tape by nano-metres
(that’s a very small distance to you sensible persons out there).
